This post is from the WWDC26 Notifications Q&A.

Populating widgets with silent push notifications would be great for us if they were more predictable. Can you share tips for debugging / testing in Test Flight beyond the usual recommendations available online? When messages are not processed it is a major challenge to distinguish between code problems and device throttling.

While debugging attached to Xcode, the silent notification throttle will be disabled, so you can test your code paths.

When testing in TestFlight, the system will behave exactly as it would in the hands of your users, so you can see what the end user experience will be.
