Notifications not showing when client.disconnect();

[Mr-k404]

Hi , I set up push notifications according to the docs in my flutter applications, so when I test it up using stream Cli ,I receive the notification and it also works when the app on the background but I don't receive anything when the app is closed and also nothing shows on the dashboard logs !

I found the solution for that , the problem was that I used channel.watch(); instead, I should also add the user to the channel channel.addMembers(["thierry", "josh"]); in order to receive push notifications as it is mentioned in the docs

Watchers vs Members

The concepts of watchers vs members can require a bit of clarification:

members: a permanent association between a user and a channel. If the user is online and not watching the channel they will receive a notification event, if they are offline they will receive a push notification.

watchers: the list of watchers is temporary. It's anyone who is currently watching the channel.

Being able to send messages, and otherwise engage with a channel as a non-member requires certain permissions. For example, we have pre-configured permissions on our livestream channel type to allow non-members to interact, but in the messaging channel type, only members of the channel can interact.
