Need notification in iOS 18 beta app hidden mode

My app mostly rely on time sensitive local notifications (both critical and normal). If my app is hidden, no notifications are shown. Is there a way I can change it in iPhone settings or override it through Swift code even though the app is hidden.

Not showing notifications is the expected behavior for hidden apps.

Being hidden is completely under the control of the user and apps cannot override this setting in code. If your app becomes non-functional when hidden, then you would want to educate your users about this.

Thank you for the response. In that case can the developer write a piece of code to detect when the app is entering into hidden mode or before entering into that mode? So programmatically we can show an alert to the user to educate.
