iOS 10 is not firing the 'notification' event after clicking on a notification when the app is in hibernate

[nick-adriaenssens]

After clicking on a notification a hibernated app should open and the 'notification' event should fire, this is not the case for iOS 10 devices. The app opens but the event is not fired.

Tested on iPad Pro and iPhone 5S.

iOS version: iOS 10 public beta 6 & 7
Cordova version: 6.2.0
Cordova iOS version: 4.2.0
Plugin version: 1.8.1

Same here! If the app is killed and opened from the notification it works fine. But if it has been put to the background recently it doesn't trigger the notification event.

iOS Device: iPhone 6
iOS version: iOS 10 gold master
Cordova version: 6.3.0
Cordova iOS version: 4.2.0
Plugin version: 1.8.1

I can also reproduce this with IOS 10.0.1 GM, cordova-ios 4.2.1, phonegap-plugin-push 1.8.1

Same here.

Hey all, I'm traveling for work all next week, 4 cities in 8 days, so if anyone can help out with this issue that would be great.

+1

[dortzur]

+1 consistently reproduces.

[macdonst]

Updating my dev environment in order to look at this. Hope for some news soon but any help is still appreciated.

[macdonst]

Yup, I can reproduce it. After much struggling with iOS signing certs.

[macdonst]

@NickAdriaenssens Okay, I did a quick fix for this issue which I pushed up to the issue1199 branch. I'd appreciate some help in testing it.

[denyo]

Looks good on my end. Back to how it was before iOS 10.
Thank you!

[nick-adriaenssens]

@macdonst Thank you for looking into this!
I can confirm the fix works on multiple iOS 10 devices.

[malwatte]

came across this issue as well. Good to hear that it is fixed.
But how can I install the plugin with the above changes?
Thanks,

[denyo]

cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push.git#issue1199 --variable SENDER_ID="XXX"

[macdonst]

@NickAdriaenssens @denyo any chance of you testing on iOS 9 devices as well? With me being on the road I only had one device which I had to upgrade for iOS 10 to reproduce the issue.

[nick-adriaenssens]

@macdonst It is working on iPhone 6 and iPad Mini with iOS 9.3.2

[macdonst]

Great, I merged it into master and I will release a 1.8.2 sometime today.

[WilsonFpz]

Hi thanks a lot.
Could we install v1.8.2 via cordova plugin add ?
it is v1.8.1 currently. thanks again.

[macdonst]

@WilsonFpz yeah, you should just be able to do cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push as it is the latest version on npm.

Hello,

I installed Phonegap today (npm install phonegap@latest), created a sample project with the tutorial on their site http://docs.phonegap.com/tutorials/develop/push-notifications/

But I am still having the issue described in this thread. Here are the steps to reproduce.

These are the plugin versions I am using:

$NotifTest>phonegap plugin
cordova-plugin-console 1.0.4 "Console"
cordova-plugin-dialogs 1.2.1 "Notification"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.1.3 "StatusBar"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.2.2 "Whitelist"
phonegap-plugin-push **1.8.2** "PushPlugin"

I then run the freshly download iOS PhoneGap app on my iOS 10.0.2 iPhone 6S. All looks good. Then, from the windows command line, I run the following commands to send notifications:

phonegap push --deviceID ** --service apns --payload "{ \"aps\": { \"alert\": \"click here please\", \"content-available\": 1, \"title\":\"test-title\", \"message\": \"test-message\", \"sound\": \"default\" }, \"data\": {\"content-available\":1, \"notId\": 12312412899}, \"moredata\": \"TEST PUSH\", \"content-available\": 1 }"

phonegap push --deviceID ** --service apns --payload "{\"aps\": {\"data\": \"Test silent background push\",\"moredata\": \"Do more stuff\",\"content-available\": 1}}"

phonegap push --deviceID ** --service apns --payload "{\"aps\":{\"alert\":{\"title\":\"Welcome\", \"body\":\"In this world\"},\"badge\":1,\"sound\":\"default\"}}"

When the app is in the foreground, I get these notifications - everything is fine.
But when the app is in the background, I get the alert message on my phone / in the notification center (except for the second command since it's silent), however when I click the notification the event handler isn't triggered.

What I expect from those 3 commands, when my PhoneGap app is in the background:

1. the first one is supposed to generate a notification with content-available:1, therefore, when I click on the notification, it should trigger the push.on('notification'... handler... well it doesn't. Nothing happens - I click the notification, the app opens and that's it. The event handler isn't triggered.

2. the second one is a "silent" push notification, without alert, it doesn't trigger the handler either

3. the last one is a simple alert without content-available, so it isn't supposed to trigger the handler, and well, it doesn't indeed.

Am I doing something wrong? What should I check for? I am new at this but I have spent the past 3 hours looking into the issue, without success.

Thanks for this amazing project and good luck for the future, I'll contribute any way I can.

Hi Macdonst,

It seems I am not alone to face this issue :-)

I have just replaced all the "console.log" by "alert" in push.js (1.8.2), put the new app in background, received a notification, clicked on it. The app is resumed but nothing happens and no alert displayed. If the app was killed before receiving the notification, the app does what I expect it to do.

Still don't know what to do... Please... :-)

[KranthiVallamreddy]

Hi,
Do we have any update on this? I am facing the same issue as mentioned in this thread. We are planning to release a version of our app to App Store and found this as an issue with our existing functionality to handle push notification. Any suggestion or solution to this issue ASAP will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

@KranthiVallamreddy please comment on #1265 as this issue is closed.
