I’m using Appnotic from my server to send notifications for an emergency service, where it is critical that notifications are delivered immediately. My payload looks like this: "aps": { "alert": "Test alert", "sound": { "critical": 1, "name": "sound.wav", "volume": 0.5 }, "content-available": 1, "category": "alert" }, "topic": "com.fireservicerota.FSR-Primary-Alerting", "custom_payload": { "id": "11", "type": "alert", "incident_id": 23434, "incident_response_id": 2652343, "expiration_time": "2024-06-06T16:59:05+01:00" } } I already have the critical alert entitlement and background processing enabled. Everything seems fine when debugging, but I’m experiencing issues: • Some notifications never arrive • Around 60% of notifications arrive with noticeable delay Since this is an emergency app, delivery speed is crucial. What could be causing this inconsistency?

"As we announced in October, the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. APNs will update the server certificates in sandbox on January 20, 2025, and in production on x date, 2025. To continue using APNs without interruption, you’ll need to update your application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate. To ensure a smooth transition and avoid push notification delivery failures, please make sure that both old and new server certificates are included in the Trust Store before the cut-off date for each of your application servers that connect to sandbox and production. At this time, you don’t need to update the APNs SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple." As we are using firebase for receiving notifications and azure notification hub, I read that there is nothing we as developers need to do and will be handled by the providers right?

I am on iOS 18.2 Beta. Since the new Apple Intelligence update, and the new layout of Apple Mail, I am not getting the red badge on my mail app, even though it is selected in the settings. When I go into my email, I have lots of unread messages there... but no red badge to let me know.

The Apple subscription production environment receives notifications, but the same notification address successfully receives them only for sandbox payments.

以下の問題が発生しています： 特定のデバイスでプッシュ通知が受信されません。 考えられる原因は何でしょうか？ プッシュ通知は自社のサーバーから送信しており、APNs（Apple Push Notification service）からは正常な応答が返ってきています。 ユーザーはデバイスで通知が有効になっていることを確認しており、ネットワークの問題も報告されていません。 この問題は複数のユーザーに発生しています。

Hello, i'm facing issues, when trying to integrate push notification feature into my app. the following message is shown and I don't know how to fix it: ExportArchive "Runner.app" requires a provisioning profile with the push notifications feature (Encountered error while creating the IPA) Thankful for any help! Best regards

Hi team, I'm developing a feature that's collecting the device locations for home security app. We've been following https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/creating-a-location-push-service-extension apns-push-type set to location. apns-priority set to 5. during testing, we found that the device's notification extension cannot be triggered after device going into lock screen for 10 mins. Wonder should we set the priority to 10? Thanks!

I've built an iOS & Watch OS app using Sign in with Apple & CloudKit exclusively. I'm now wanting to implement Push Notifications. I understand that I need a server to trigger the push notifications (I guess I could spool up a Node server somewhere or use Firebase), but I'd really like to not use any non-Apple backend services. Am I correct in understanding that I can do this with Push Notifications Console, or do I still need a separate backend?

I'm observing that when a silent push notification is sent to our app, is is started up in the background for 30 seconds before being suspended until the app is launched by the user. This causes data to persist from the silent push notification to the user app launch. I couldn't find documentation on this behavior for silent push notifications, and was wondering if it's possible to have the app terminate after handling the silent push notification. Is there documentation on the general flow of silent push notifications as well? I'm able to handle the edge cases if the app has to be suspended until user launch, but just want to confirm that this is the expected behavior before I go about handling it this way.

hello, i'm not able to activate Live activities from app id configuration. Do i miss something ? thanks for your help

We would like to better understand the discrepancy between a Push To Start and the subsequent Updates where I see a number of recipients drop greatly. Our assumption is that this is a result of the end user not clicking the "Allow" prompt when a push to start widget is shown on the screen for the first time, but we currently do not have a way to listen to the user's choice when prompted. Is there any way of tapping into this, to determine if this is in fact where the variance is coming from, or if there is actually just a problem with the request to retrieve the update token from our end?

Hi All, i read the documentation regarding APN and related API, but i didn't understand if, from my server, i can send push notification to every application or only to applications that belongs my developer account. I try to better explain my needs: the enviroment regards voip communications, my sip server is asterisk based and i want to wrote a script to wakeup device just before send a call to it. On mobile device, i use a generic app taken from the apple store. At the moment i am using linphone. When linphone starts, it registrer with APNs and send to the asterisk server pn-* data. In the pn-params it sends the teamid (ABCD1234) and bundleid (org.linphone.phone). In my script, i have taken the teamid/bundleid retrieved from the linhpone app, i have generated a Key from my developer account and used it to authenticate to APN, but i got always InvalidProviderToken. So my question is: is it possibile to send notification to application that i didn't own? or the InvliadProviderToken has nothing related to this and simply i am doing something wrong with key authentication?

Hi, We are building a system that integrates with APNs using the Token-Based Authentication method. While testing, we encountered the 429 TooManyProviderTokenUpdates error and would like clarification on the exact conditions that trigger this response. Our Testing Scenario: Private Key: We keep the same Private Key constant across requests. TEAM_ID and KEY_ID: For testing purposes, we change the TEAM_ID and KEY_ID for every JWT we generate. Requests: Each generated JWT is used to call the /3/device/{token} API endpoint. Observed Behavior: When we test with different TEAM_ID and KEY_ID combinations, we initially receive 403 InvalidProviderToken, which is expected because the TEAM_ID and KEY_ID combinations are invalid. However, if we change the TEAM_ID and KEY_ID and make multiple calls (e.g., more than two within 20 minutes), we start receiving 429 TooManyProviderTokenUpdates. If we switch to a different IP address (via VPN) after receiving the 429 error, we revert to receiving 403 InvalidProviderToken. Our Use Case: We are building a system where multiple server clusters handle multiple apps (some under the same Apple Developer account, others under different accounts). Each server generates JWTs for requests to the APNs /3/device/{token} API. Our Questions: What specific conditions cause the 429 TooManyProviderTokenUpdates error? Does APNs monitor token updates at the level of TEAM_ID and KEY_ID, or does it consider additional factors such as the originating IP address or shared infrastructure? How does APNs handle frequent changes in TEAM_ID and KEY_ID within a single server or cluster? Is there any documentation or guidance on managing JWTs effectively in a distributed system with multiple apps and servers? Does APNs limit JWT updates based on IP address or API endpoint usage across multiple apps sharing the same Apple Developer account? We would greatly appreciate any clarification on these points and guidance on best practices for managing JWTs in a multi-cluster environment. Thank you!

Hello, I received emails regarding the change to the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service, however I missed the February 24th 2025 deadline. What should I do? Push notifications to apple devices is currently not working.

I have been working on adding a badge number count to my app, but have run into a really weird edge case. If I have a badge number on my app, delete the application and then re-install it, the badge number still persists on the app icon until I first open the app. I tried looking to see if there is a lifecycle method that is triggered upon uninstalling an app as well as if there is a specific userDefaults attribute to check in order to clear the badge, but I can't find any clear solutions. Does anyone know of a fix to this issue?

why use [INImage imageWithURL:***] INPerson show other application avatar? INPersonHandle *personHandle = [[INPersonHandle alloc] initWithValue:nil type:INPersonHandleTypeUnknown]; INPerson *senderPerson = [[INPerson alloc] initWithPersonHandle:personHandle nameComponents:nil displayName:displayName image:image contactIdentifier:nil customIdentifier:nil];

when I implementation the UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) { var status = "" if (UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .active) { status = "active" } else if (UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .background) { status = "background" } else if (UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .inactive) { status = "inactive" } completionHandler() } I find that UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .background this case can not execute when application is in background。 why applicationState is inactive not background?

My App supports two services that is Push Notification for Alerts and a Voip Call feature whose notification also comes in the same way as of PushNotification but video rendering is done with GoogleWebRTC. The App was working perfectly fine but from past few months these services are not working.[ Nothing is changed in App and on the server side to push the notifications] Issues: VoIP (Video call) not working: I have apns certificate which is valid in today's date and stays with the backend Server. My server sends the payload notification to APNS but on iPhone am unable to receive it. I have checked the App registration part also and is able to receive the token for the same. Framework used are: PushKit, UserNotifications, GoogleWebRTC . I don't understand where is the gap, the backend triggers the APNS but there no response. Ports enabled on server are: 443, 5223, 2197, 2195, 2196. Similarly Push notification were also not working, So I tried to change it to register on Firebase for device registration token And did some coding at backend to send the notification to that device. It was working perfectly fine from last few weeks, but it suddenly stopped. I checked the JSON Payload and tried to send it through PostMan, in both it says 200 Success. And in Application end am waiting for breakpoint to hit in userNotificationCenter(_: , willPresent, completionHandler). What all I have checked: 1)My server to APNS server connectivity. 2)Verified the apns certificate. The certificate was created in October 2024, whose expiry is in Nov 2025 and it support both Sandbox and Production environment. 3)Checked required delegates are implemented in App. With the capability enable in it, is also sending registration token to backend. Kindly guide me where I can check in this flow. Thanks in Advance!
