onNotification doesnt trigger on iOS devices for remote notifications

[messenja]

I have configured app as described in docs. On android it works fine (local and remote), but not on iOS. So i have questions:

• do i need other packages such @react-native-firebase/app and configure it as described here https://rnfirebase.io/#3-ios-setup?
• do i need to upload APNs Authentication Key or Certificates to Firebase console to work it properly?
  And one more thing - nowhere in documentation said about token on iOS devices, received in onRegister callback. This is not actually FCM token, its APNS token, that i have to convert to FCM token. Am i right?

I'm facing an error like yours @messenja Do you have any update for this?

The same issue

For iOS issues, please use the right repository:

@Salalf01 tried many things, but nothing works. Switched to @react-native-firebase/messaging + notifee. One of the important reason why i did this - you dont have to convert APNS token (IOS) to FCM token. Because in this case (converting it in your mobile app) u have to store firebase app id in your mobile app to.

Hi @messenja
Probably a good choose, this library and the iOS library doesn't aim to implement Firebase-first.
It's implementing the "native" one (at least for iOS). Android use Firebase since the replacement of GCM.
If you WANT to use Firebase only, RNFirebase is a good choice.

@messenja Thanks for your reply. I could solve my problems in ios with this library and indeed i had to convert my apn token for GCM, also i had to implement some code in appDelegate based on pushNotificationIOS library docs to send my received notification to did receive notification to execute onNotification.

@Salalf01 could you please point me to those appDelegate changes you did? Thanks.

@Salalf01 It would be wonderfull if you could provide your solution, like @grifotv mentions. Im having the exact same problem. Thanks!

[grifotv]

@Salalf01 also wondering what version of react-native-push-notification and @react-native-community/push-notification-ios you used. Thanks.

[Salalf01]

Greetings guys. @grifotv @daniejoh i'm using @react-native-community/push-notification-ios 1.10.1 version and react-native-push-notification 8.1.0 version. Regarding app delegate changes i did this changes mentioned in documentation.

Augment AppDelegate
Finally, to enable support for notification and register events you need to augment your AppDelegate.

Update AppDelegate.h
At the top of the file:

#import <UserNotifications/UNUserNotificationCenter.h>
Then, add the 'UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate' to protocols:

@interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate, RCTBridgeDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate>
Update AppDelegate.m
At the top of the file:

#import <UserNotifications/UserNotifications.h>
#import <RNCPushNotificationIOS.h>
Then, in your AppDelegate implementation, add the following:

// Required for the register event.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
 [RNCPushNotificationIOS didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:deviceToken];
}
// Required for the notification event. You must call the completion handler after handling the remote notification.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
  [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:completionHandler];
}
// Required for the registrationError event.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
{
 [RNCPushNotificationIOS didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:error];
}
// Required for localNotification event
- (void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center
didReceiveNotificationResponse:(UNNotificationResponse *)response
         withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(void))completionHandler
{
  [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveNotificationResponse:response];
}

And then add the following lines:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  ...
  // Define UNUserNotificationCenter
  UNUserNotificationCenter *center = [UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter];
  center.delegate = self;

  return YES;
}

//Called when a notification is delivered to a foreground app.
-(void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center willPresentNotification:(UNNotification *)notification withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions options))completionHandler
{
  completionHandler(UNNotificationPresentationOptionSound | UNNotificationPresentationOptionAlert | UNNotificationPresentationOptionBadge);
}

Using this code described in docs you should execute onNotification when app is not in foreground, if you want to execute onNotification also when app is in foreground you need to add didReceiveNotificationResponse before completionHandle inside willPresentNotification like this

//Called when a notification is delivered to a foreground app.
-(void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center willPresentNotification:(UNNotification *)notification withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions options))completionHandler
{

    //Still call the javascript onNotification handler so it can display the new message right away
    NSDictionary *userInfo = notification.request.content.userInfo;
    [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo];

    //hide push notification
    completionHandler(UNNotificationPresentationOptionNone);
}

[daniejoh]

It worked!
I was missing:

//Still call the javascript onNotification handler so it can display the new message right away
NSDictionary *userInfo = notification.request.content.userInfo;
[RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo];

in willPresentNotification.
Thank you so much for the help!!

Hi @Salalf01, I have added it into AppDelegate and it's worked 🎉 .

//Still call the javascript onNotification handler so it can display the new message right away
    NSDictionary *userInfo = notification.request.content.userInfo;
    [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo];

But I realized that method onNotification is called many times when receiving a remote notification.
Below is some logs for this issue.
