Currently, I have implemented local cache update with server data when app is killed using Push Notification and Notification Service Extension. So it works even the app is killed by the user, but I wanted to know whether this is app review safe work around or not as I am not finding any documentation for this.

I am getting InvalidProviderToken for every APNs key I create under my team. This has persisted for over a week across 3 different fresh keys. Setup: Team ID: QJLCAXKWMB Bundle ID: com.trackntakeit.app All keys: Team Scoped, All Topics, Sandbox & Production JWT: ES256, correct kid and iss fields Tested directly from Mac via curl with fresh tokens The key file is a valid EC 256-bit private key. JWT is correctly formed. Both production and sandbox endpoints return InvalidProviderToken. Case number with Apple Developer Support: 102857626802 Has anyone seen all APNs keys for an entire team being rejected? Could there be an account-level block on APNs?

Hello, we have recently started signing and building our applications using Xcode 16.3. Since we made this change, we’ve noticed that the applications have stopped receiving silent push notifications (content-available: 1) when they are distributed via TestFlight or the App Store, even though we haven’t changed anything in the way these notifications are sent. As I mentioned, this started happening after migrating our project from Xcode 15 to Xcode 16.3. Regular push notifications are still working as expected, but silent ones are not being received by the apps. We are desperate because we rely on these silent notifications to inform the apps of updates, and we haven’t been able to identify the root cause of the issue.

Hi there, Thank you for the framework 🙏 if I use Alarm.Schedule.Relative with Alarm.Schedule.Relative.Time(hour: hour, minute: minute) and Alarm.Schedule.Relative.Recurrence.never it seems like there is some (odd?) limit where alarm will get scheduled to next day if too close? For example, lets say the current time is 12:00 PM, if I schedule alarm for 12:02 PM, it will schedule it for next day, while if I do 12:05 PM it will work as expected. Is that expected? If yes, what's the behavior and is that documented anywhere? I would expect any alarm thats scheduled in the future to fire for the current day (maybe if it's only 1 minute it gets tricky). One problem is also that even if the framework says an alarm is scheduled, I don't have access to the "next alarm date"? I wish I did as otherwise I have to compute it (by "guessing" the AlarmKit calculation) if I want to do anything with that date. Honestly, sometimes I think I am just going crazy when the alarm doesn't fire, but there SEEMS to be some odd behavior around this? (of course, feel free to correct me on anything - I could be missing documentation or not understanding something)

手机型号：iPhone 13 Pro iOS版本号：iOS 18.6.2 (22G100) 用户开启了应用的系统通知功能，在收到离线推送后应用右上角展示未读消息数。在APP启动或者从后台恢复的时候，应用会用如下方法清理应用桌面图标的未读数角标。但是在部分机型上，应用转为“后台模式”时仍然会出现一个未读角标，且每次都是一个固定值；如果直接kill进程就不会出现未读角标。请问如何能够【完全】清理消息未读数，确保不会在退后台的时候再次出现呢？ [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setApplicationIconBadgeNumber:0]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] cancelAllLocalNotifications]; if (@available(iOS 16.0, *)) { [[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] setBadgeCount:0 withCompletionHandler:nil]; [[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] removeAllPendingNotificationRequests]; [[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] removeAllPendingNotificationRequests]; } UNMutableNotificationContent *content = [[UNMutableNotificationContent alloc] init]; content.badge = @(-1); UNNotificationRequest *request = [UNNotificationRequest requestWithIdentifier:@"clearBadge" content:content trigger:nil]; [[UNUserNotificationCenter currentNotificationCenter] addNotificationRequest:request withCompletionHandler:^(NSError * _Nullable error) { // Do nothing }];

I’m receiving notifications from all third-party apps that I use however, most of the time there is no sound or haptics with the notification. In some cases, very seldomly I will receive a sound when a notification comes in, but that’s only with one of the many third-party apps that I use. I’ve spoken to Apple about this when this whole problem started during an update that you guys rolled out sometime between September and November 2024. They blamed it on the app programmers but I think at this point we all know that it’s Apple’s inability to accept that the problem is on their end. I never had problems receiving notifications from any of the apps prior to that. I guess my question is will Apple ever fix this or are they going to sweep it under the rug and pretend like it doesn’t exist?

I have a database in CloudKit, where the host share (using CKShare) a record to participants. The record is in her private database, but for the participants is in their shared database. How do I send push notifications to everyone when a new child record is created?

ISSUE: CloudKit subscriptions are not triggering push notifications despite correct configuration. CloudKit logs show RecordSave events but NO NotificationSend events, indicating CloudKit is not attempting to send to APNS. CONTAINER: iCloud.Wunderkind.StrikeForceApp ENVIRONMENT: Tested in both Development and Production iOS 18.6.x Xcode 15.x (update with your version) Device: iPhone (not simulator) EVIDENCE: Subscriptions exist and are visible in CloudKit Dashboard Records are being created successfully (verified in logs) Device token is registered: 60eb962ff189dc5c2c0ef3e9d6643d72b4442a831bae224d2a553588b2e29139 Local notifications work correctly CloudKit logs show RecordSave but NO NotificationSend events STEPS TAKEN: Regenerated push certificates Disabled and re-enabled Push Notifications capability Deleted and recreated subscriptions Tested in both Development and Production environments Verified aps-environment entitlement matches environment Confirmed notification permissions granted SPECIFIC TEST: Creating a Challenge record with recipientRef matching my user triggers: ✅ RecordSave event in CloudKit logs ❌ No NotificationSend event ❌ No push notification received EXPECTED: CloudKit should send NotificationSend events and deliver push notifications when subscriptions match. ACTUAL: No NotificationSend events appear in CloudKit logs, no notifications delivered.

I have converted a large part of the data, but only 5% of the data was successfully converted. The failed devicetoken shows "bad devicetoken" when accessing APNS.

I wanted to know if Apple ever supported displaying a red dot on notificationswith no indication number.

Is there a public method to know when an APNS has appeared on the screen? wrapping up a very high end photogrammetry app, using the front facing camera and screen illumination- incoming notifications completely throw off the math. Ideally, it would be great to turn on Do Not Disturb for the short process, but we’d settle for just the detection of the notification banner. also: extra credit - programattically adjusting Auto Dimming, and True Tone would be lovely too.

Issue: I am making an application that stores data locally from notifications fired from the server. Everything works fine in the foreground but the background is having problems with not being triggered when notifications are fired. So we tried firing 2 notifications at the same time, including default and silent types. But the problem continues to arise on ios 18, when firing multiple times like that, the trigger is not handling all notifications, leading to data loss. I tried on ios 15 and it worked fine. Environment: Device or Simulator: Iphone 11 pro max (iOS 18.3.2 Steps to Reproduce: Open app, allow received notification. Move app to background mode or terminate app. Sent 2 notifications: a. Default notification payload: { "aps": { "content-available": 1 }, ”notification”: {…}, “alert”: {..}, “data": "some_value" } b. Silent notification payload: { "aps": { "content-available": 1 }, ”data": "some_value" } What I've Tried: Trigger notification in function: application(_:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:) Handle write data to local storage in above function, put it in background thread also. Thanks in advance!

We are facing an issue: push notifications are not being received. We are using the Marketing Cloud SDK for push notifications. On install, the app correctly registers for push notifications. We pass the required information to Marketing Cloud — for example, contact key, token, etc. Marketing Cloud also confirms that the configuration is set up, and we have tried sending push notifications with proper delivery settings. The issue is that after some time, the device gets automatically opted out in the Marketing Cloud portal. When we consulted their team, they said this is caused by the “DeviceTokenNotForTopic” error received from APNs. I have verified the certificates and bundle ID from my end — everything looks correct. Device: iPhone 15, iPhone 17 iOS: 18.7.2, 26.1

I’m getting calls from Pakistan every hour. I cant block them because it’s a different number every time. I have downloaded the new beta version of the upcoming software update and it allows you to set to ask a question before unknown callers ring through. It’s not working and my phone is constantly ringing. I can’t block unknown callers as I use my phone for work. How can I silence ringing from calls specifically from Pakistan Using the country code?

We have a question regarding iOS app configuration and the Remote notifications background mode. During our testing, we observed: ＊When enabling or disabling Signing & Capabilities > Background Modes > Remote notifications, the change does not take effect on devices that already have the app installed. ＊The app continues to behave according to the old configuration. ＊Only after uninstalling the app and reinstalling it from the App Store do the new settings take effect (for example, whether the app can be woken up by silent push). ＊We also tested updating the app with a new version number (App Store upgrade flow), but the new settings still did not apply. Our questions are: 1.Is there any way to make iOS re-read the updated Signing & Capabilities (Background Modes) settings without requiring a full uninstall/reinstall? 2.Is it expected behavior that even an App Store upgrade with a new version number will not apply these changes? thanks!

Hello, We are facing issue that sometimes a voip notification gets delivered after it is expired. The issue can be simply demonstrated we set the device to flight mode, and after 20s we disable flight mode. We still receive the voip notification. We are setting the expiration header as following apns-expiry=0, so from my understanding it should not be delivered if the device was not able to receive the notification in the fist attempt. I have read following thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/778512, from which I understand this is a long standing issue. Hence my question is, is there any way how we can notify the call kit that the call is actually no longer valid, and do not display the call to the user at all? Currently we are forced to always display CallKit call when the notification comes, and some of our users are confused that they see a missed call which they did not have any chance to pick up. Please let me know if you need any more information. Best Regards, Adam Chlupacek

Could anyone play a sound from the Library/Sounds directory using alarmkit? Same file can play in app bundle, but not available in Library/Sounds directory. Is this by design?

Having voice control enabled now puts three menu bar items. The blue icon it has always had, supplemented with an orange microphone and an orange dot next to control center. I know this orange icon is there to notify me that a third-party application is accessing the microphone, but this is a first-party system service that is always running. If another app starts accessing the microphone I won't know, since the orange icon is always there anyway. It's like a California prop 65 warning. Maybe it was a good idea in principal but with it being ubiquitous everyone just ignores it. Siri is also always accessing the microphone, but doesn't trigger this orange eyesore because it's a system service. Both Siri and voice control are always on in the background, are first-party system services that must be specifically enabled, and both have their own menu bar icon that can be removed if not wanted. This orange icon with voice control potentially introduces MORE risk by training me to ignore the orange icon. Please return to the pre-26.3 behaviour of using this orange icon for third-party apps and not first-party system services. FB22036182 -- "Voice control causes extra menu bar icon"

We are currently developing a WebAPI service that uses APNs (HTTP/2) to send push notifications to iOS devices. (Using PushSharp's HTTP/2 support) The WebAPI service is running on IIS using .net framework 4.8 and c#. The connection to APNs is always maintained, and the connection is checked every 30 minutes using a dummy token Ping. KeepAlivePeriod = 30 minutes and KeepAliveRetryPeriod = 10 seconds have also been set. However, the following issues are occurring. Although the Ping sent immediately before was successful, a TimeoutException occurs in the notification request sent a few minutes later. There is no explicit disconnection notification from APNs, and the connection appears to be silently disconnected. Once a TimeoutException occurs, it occurs frequently afterwards. Below is an excerpt from the log. Apple Notification Failed for some unknown reason 1-1: One or more errors occurred. Apple Notification Failed for some unknown reason 1-2:System.TimeoutException: The operation timed out. In light of this issue, I would like to be advised on the following two points. Are there any official specifications regarding the lifecycle and expiration date of APNs HTTP/2 connections? Even if pings are sent periodically, is there a timeout or other setting that disables the connection on the APNs side? What are the conditions that would cause APNs to silently terminate a connection? For example, could this be due to inactivity, TLS restrictions, network maintenance, etc.? If you have any official documentation or technical guidelines to improve the reliability of this system, we would appreciate it if you could share them with us. Thank you in advance.
