There's a list of bug reports: FB19778882 FB19813796 FB19852724 FB19767262 FB20378888 FB20379383 FB20394663 Me and many other users have issue with push notifications. To reproduce this you should do this steps: Lock iPhone and make it idle for 10+ minutes; Send any message from other device via third-party app that uses push notifications (WhatsApp, Telegram and etc.); After few attempts you can see, that messages don't deliver. They delivers immediately when I unlock iPhone or go to the app. This bug reproduces on iOS 18.7 and 27. As I think iPhone goes to deep sleep after 10+ minutes after it locked and don't get push notifications. I've tried everything: many of settings, DFU without backup, but nothing helps to resolve this issue. Pay attention, please, cause this bug is very annoying and present on iOS 18.7 (that is the last for many devices) and latest iOS 26. Thanks!

In the new update of macOS 26 Tahoe, I have noticed that on my MacBook Air M3, I am not getting a warning when my battery is low or when it's about to go to sleep. My MacBook is just turning off without warning.

I’m using the shielding API, my code: let store = ManagedSettingsStore() let whitelist = SharedDefaults.whitelistApplications store.shield.applicationCategories = .all(except: whitelist) And to clear the shield, my code is: store.shield.applications = nil store.shield.applicationCategories = nil The issue: Some users report that after uninstalling my app, the shield is still active, and the UI changes to the default iOS system interface. Even after restarting the device, the apps on the phone remains locked, so the user has no way to remove the shield. Recently I’ve received several complaints on social media and App Store comments, accusing my app of being malicious software. This is not a 100% reproducible bug, but it happens frequently enough. I was also able to reproduce it myself by uninstalling the app during an active lock session. Could Apple engineers please look into this issue and advise how to ensure that once the user uninstalls the app, the device is no longer locked?

My app will be woken when Activity.pushToStartTokenUpdates delivered the new token. But I want to know how can I get the activity.pushTokenUpdates when my server start an live activity via push notification, because without the activity.pushTokenUpdates, my server can't deliver update information after start the live activity. For now, I check the activities when my app switch foreground/background. But how can I be notified when my app is in foreground and server start an live activity by push notification. I've tried "content-available": 1 in LA's payload aps, but I also can't be notified in the didReceiveRemoteNotification in appDelegate.

We submitted firewall request to below destination subnets and we still see connection refused to port 5223. Please advise why are we seeing connection refused and should we need 5223 port. Subnets - 17.249.0.0/16, 17.252.0.0/16, 17.57.144.0/22, 17.188.128.0/18, 17.188.20.0/23

Hello Apple Developer Team, I am facing an issue with remote notifications in my iOS app. When the app is in a terminated (kill) state, notifications are successfully received by the device, but none of the app's handlers (like _firebaseMessagingBackgroundHandler in Flutter) are invoked. This is impacting our ability to process silent notifications or perform background tasks reliably when the app is not running. Steps to reproduce: Send a remote notification with content-available: 1 in the payload. Confirm the notification is received by the device while the app is in kill mode. Observe that no background or foreground notification methods are triggered in the app. Expected Behavior: The app should invoke the background handler to process the notification payload, even in a terminated state. Observed Behavior: The notification is delivered to the device, but no app-level processing occurs because none of the methods are triggered. Can you please confirm if this is the intended behavior due to iOS limitations, or if there is a configuration or alternative solution to allow background handlers to execute in such scenarios? Any guidance or clarification would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Notification coordination between iOS and watchOS is not working properly watchOS and iOS try to coordinate between phone and watch notifications. The concept here is that if there is a main app and a companion app, they could both be sending a notification, then the notification would alert on both, which is a deviation from how notification mirroring is handled if there is an iOS app but no watch app. The watch waits for the iOS notification to fire so they can determine if this is the same notification that needs to be deduped, displayed on one device but not the other, or separate notifications to be displayed both. If there is no notification on the phone, the watch will timeout after 13 seconds and alert anyway. If you have an iOS companion app, the best solution to this is to send the same notification on both devices simultaneously, and ensuring the UNNotificationRequest.identifier matches on both notifications. This will let the systems determine how to handle the notification correctly and quickly, and the notification will alert right away. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/765669 According to the above article, "when a notification arrives on watchOS alone first, it coordinates with iOS," but in reality, it doesn't work properly. Detailed process of this phenomenon watchOS receives a notification. On watchOS, the notification is not immediately shown to the user. iOS receives a notification with the same UNNotificationRequest.identifier as in (1). The notification in (3) does not appear on either iOS or watchOS. However, the notification from (3) does appear in iOS Notification Center. Thirteen seconds after watchOS received the notification, the notification from (1) is shown to the user on watchOS. In the end, the iOS and watchOS notifications are not consolidated and each remains in its respective notification center. Up to (3) there are no issues. Starting with (4), both iOS and watchOS exhibit a lot of odd behavior. This phenomenon occurs with both local notifications and push notifications. When iOS receives the notification first, there is no problem. The notification for watch received later is processed appropriately, and the watchOS notification is not additionally displayed to the user. Expected proper process Same as above. Same as above. Same as above. The notification in (1) is integrated into the notification in (3). The notification in (3) is alerted to the user immediately. 2 sample projects to reproduce Only the main code is attached. Sample project1: local notifications Swift code for local notification app (iOS, watchOS) - App.swift.txt Sample project2: push notifications This sample project is implemented using Firebase Functions and Firebase Cloud Messaging. Swift code push notification app (iOS, watchOS) - App.swift.txt Server side JavaScript code for FirebaseFunction - index.js.txt Tested devices and OS This phenomenon occurred in both of the following patterns. Pattern 1 Xcode 26.0 iPhone 16 (iOS 26.0) Apple Watch series 10 (watchOS 26.0) Pattern 2 Xcode 16.4 iPhone 11 (iOS 18.6) Apple Watch SE 2nd gen (watchOS 11.6) Question Is this phenomenon a bug? Or is my understanding or implementation incorrect? Feedback Assistant number FB20339772

I received an update to the APN root certificate. Testing the connection using MDM.pem to the push environment returned the following error:BadCertificateEnvironment ERROR

Hello, we have a problem with fake call on iPhone device for incoming calls. When I leave the iPhone in idle state for 30, 40 seconds and dialed voip app number the iPhone rings and there is no problem. When I leave it in idle for longer time one minute or two minutes I get "Call Failed to Connect" on iPhone's display and after this fake call I get second call with real calling number displays on iPhone. This first fake call is triggered by wake up push notification type 'voip'. If I switched off this wake up push notification type 'voip' and device's token has not expired yet I don't get fake call and iPhone's directly displays calling number. But in this situation we need to use wake up push notification type 'voip' on during a certain time to keep the device's token in our database and continuing to receive calling number without fake call. If we switched off the wake up push notification type 'voip' on certain time we need to activate again wake up push notification type 'voip' for incoming calls to wake up the iPhone. And in this way every time on every incoming call the iPhone's will display first fake call "Call Failed to connect" and after that the call with Calling number. How we can eliminate this fake call and use only one wake up push notification only for incoming calls not use second type wake up push on certain time? Thank you, I paste here our code for this: public ApnClient(IOptions settings) { var httpHandler = new HttpClientHandler() { ClientCertificates = { new X509Certificate2(certificate.Export(X509ContentType.Pfx)) }, }; ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls13; this.httpClient = new HttpClient(httpHandler) { DefaultRequestVersion = HttpVersion.Version20, DefaultVersionPolicy = HttpVersionPolicy.RequestVersionOrHigher, BaseAddress = new Uri(settings.Value.ApnProdBaseUri), DefaultRequestHeaders = { { "apns-topic", ApnsTopic }, }, }; } public async Task<bool> WakeUpDevice(string deviceToken, string callId) { this.requestContent = new StringContent( $"{{\"aps\":{{\"content-available\":\"1\"}}}}", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"); var res = await this.httpClient.PostAsync($"/3/device/{deviceToken}", this.requestContent); return res.IsSuccessStatusCode; }

We currently are checking to see if we need to make modifications to account for the new Certification Authority (CA) for APNs that will be changing soon. Since we currently use the newer token-based connection to APNs and not the certificate-based connection, would we be unaffected by this change?

According to the Apple notification alert received in October 2024, the APNS server certificate update for production is scheduled for February 24, 2025. Has this change been implemented, or is there a platform or method to verify whether this update has been applied in production? If so, where can we check this?"

I've added a Notification Service Extension as a target to my React Native iOS app following Apple's official documentation. After completing all the setup steps as outlined in the documentation, the notification titles remain unchanged - notifications are arriving without any modifications, suggesting the extension isn't functioning properly.Testing Details: Sending notifications via Apple Push Notification Console Tested on iPhone 16 Pro Max (physical device) Tested on iPhone 15 Pro simulator Both show the same issue - no title modifications The extension appears to not be executing at all. Has anyone encountered similar issues with Notification Service Extensions in React Native projects, or can suggest troubleshooting steps to verify the extension is properly configured and running?

Hello, We are currently facing a persistent issue where Apple Push Notifications (APNs) are no longer being delivered to devices. This is not an intermittent problem — push notifications have completely stopped working. We are using PushSharp.Apple (Version 4.0.10.0) to send the notifications. Current Behavior (Failing): Every notification request appears to be processed successfully from the server side. However, the APNs client receives a 0-byte response, and the server closes the connection. Devices do not receive the notifications at all. Logs from Current (Failing) State: APNS-Client[1]: Connected (Batch ID=1) APNS-Client[1]: Sent Batch, waiting for possible response... APNS-Client[1]: Received 0 bytes response... APNS-Client[1]: Server Closed Connection... APNS-Client[1]: Disconnected (Batch ID=1) For Reference – Successful Log From Earlier (When Notifications Worked): APNS-Client[1]: Connected (Batch ID=1) APNS-Client[1]: Sent Batch, waiting for possible response... APNS-Client[1]: Received -1 bytes response... Push Notification Successfully Sent to Device Any help, suggestions, or experience with similar issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

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

I invoked the getNotificationSettingsWithCompletionHandler method of UNUserNotificationCenter on multiple test devices. After dismissing the notification permission request dialog (without explicit denial), the returned UNNotificationSettings object showed inconsistent authorizationStatus values across OS versions: ​**iOS 18:​ Returns UNAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined ​iOS 14.2:**​ Returns UNAuthorizationStatusDenied Where can I find official Apple documentation explaining this behavioral discrepancy between system versions?

I downloaded the .crt file to take the following steps. Could you please give me a guide on how to actually apply the file to the server? Upload only files to a specific path on the Linux server. keytool -import -alias cacert -file ca.crt -keystore client.truststore.jks Is it possible to just apply it with the above command? Please confirm. thank you

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!

Good morning all! We are facing a specific case dealing with push notifications to iOS devices. In my scenario: I turn off my device's internet Send multiple push notifications via server using Firebase. I turned ON my device's internet again. I only see the last push notification I sent. This is an expected scenario? There is any documentation that supports this statement? Thank you all!

Dear Apple Team, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a playful and innovative idea that could enhance the iPhone experience—particularly when viewing content in full-screen mode through apps like Apple TV or YouTube. Feature Concept: Hands-Free Dismissal of Notifications When the iPhone is in landscape mode, incoming notifications can interrupt the viewing experience. While Focus Mode and swipe gestures help, I thought of a more intuitive and hands-free interaction: using a light puff of air directed toward the screen to dismiss a notification. This interaction could use the microphone or other onboard sensors to detect a brief burst of air, providing a fun and natural way to maintain immersion without touching the device. If this isn’t feasible with current hardware, here are a few alternative concepts that align with the same goal: Blink to Dismiss: Using Face ID sensors to detect a quick blink as a hands-free gesture. Shake to Dismiss: A gentle shake gesture when holding the iPhone in one hand. Gaze-Based Dismissal: Notifications automatically disappear after a brief moment of eye contact. These ideas could offer both accessibility benefits and a touch of delight—making the iPhone feel even more magical and responsive. Thank you for your time and for considering this suggestion! Warm regards, Badhan Baidya
