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. Here are examples of failed conversions devicetoken. Is there any official documentation for this part?

Hello,
I am developing a calling service using CallKit and VOIP push.
I have occasionally encountered a strange issue.
The issue is that VOIP permanently fails to receive calls.
I was previously informed that even if the device is blocked, it can receive calls again after 24 hours.
Also, when I checked the device logic, it complied with the policy requirements set by Apple, including correctly calling CallKit's reportNewIncomingCall method.
Once the issue occurs, no matter how many times I try, VOIP does not receive calls, and neither a device reboot nor checking the Device Console Log shows any logs related to CallKit or VOIP.
I suspect this might be an issue with the VOIP token, and I believe that the only way to get a new one is to reinstall the app. Is that correct?
Of course, after reinstalling, it works fine again, but this is very inconvenient. I don't think this is the right solution.
Is there anyone who can share their insights on this issue?
Thank you.
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?

I got a notification that the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. Does this affect the push service for Apple Wallet passes or just for apps? I have a push service for Apple Wallet passes but no service for apps. I don't use push notification service for anything other than for Apple Wallet Pass push notifications, not at all for apps. Is there anything I need to do or is this not relevant to my situation?
If it does, what do I need to change in order to make sure my service still works? Do I just replace the certificate? Is there a standard path where it would live on the server?
I'm sure this is a simple thing, but it's been over a decade since I wrote the push service so I'm pretty rusty.
The Apple subscription production environment receives notifications, but the same notification address successfully receives them only for sandbox payments.

I created a Notification Service Extension to display profile images in place for the app image (i.e. iMessage).
I send a remote push notification via Firebase Functions, and in the payload, the relevant profile image url string. The profile image url string in the payload is successfully delivered as it appears in my console log and AppDelegate didReceiveRemoteNotification function.
My problem is the profile image does not replace the default app icon image in the remote push notification.
Below is my configuration. Any guidance would be appreciated!
Main target app: the info plist contains NSUSerActivityTypes = [INSendMessageIntent]. The Communications Notifications capability is enabled and "Copy only when installing" in Build Phases Embed Foundation Extensions
Notification Service Extension plist: contains NSExtension > NSExtensionAttributes > IntentsSupported > INSendMessageIntent.
Notification Service Extension class code:
var contentHandler: ((UNNotificationContent) -> Void)?
var bestAttemptContent: UNMutableNotificationContent?
override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
self.contentHandler = contentHandler
bestAttemptContent = (request.content.mutableCopy() as? UNMutableNotificationContent)
guard var bestAttemptContent = bestAttemptContent else { return }
guard let fcmOptions = bestAttemptContent.userInfo["fcm_options"] as? [String: Any],
let attachmentUrlAsString = fcmOptions["imageURL"] as? String else {
contentHandler(bestAttemptContent)
return
}
if let attachmentUrl = URL(string: attachmentUrlAsString) {
var senderNameComponents = PersonNameComponents()
senderNameComponents.nickname = bestAttemptContent.title
let profileImage = INImage(url: attachmentUrl)

but i did not know how can i do;
thanks for you help
We are observing a significant increase in 410 "Unregistered/ExpiredToken" responses from APNs when sending push notifications after 20 July. According to documentation, this indicates that the device token is no longer valid for the specified topic. However, the sudden spike raises questions about whether there have been any recent updates or changes to APNs' token invalidation logic.
Could you please confirm:
Whether there have been any recent updates in APNs behavior related to 410 responses?
If there are best practices or recommendations for handling large volumes of token invalidations in order to detect uninstallations?
Hi,
Regarding the announcement about the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) Server Certificate Update, I wanted to clarify whether it will impact my app’s push notification setup.
I use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications to iOS devices, and in my Firebase project settings, I have configured an APNs Authentication Key under the Apple app configuration tab (Firebase Console > Project Settings > Cloud Messaging > iOS app configuration).
The authentication key I am using was generated from Apple Developer > Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Keys.
Since I am using this authentication method instead of APNs certificates, are there any changes I need to be aware of due to the APNs server certificate update, and do I need to update anything in my current configuration to ensure push notifications continue to work?
Thanks in advance!

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!

I'm experiencing issues with didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken not being called on iOS 18.1.1. Here's what I've tried:
Basic Setup:
Properly configured UNUserNotificationCenter
Requested permissions with requestAuthorization(options:)
Registered for remote notifications with registerForRemoteNotifications()
Environment:
Xcode 16.3
iOS 18.1.1 (physical device)
Firebase (tried with and without it)
Troubleshooting:
Verified provisioning profile includes Push Notifications
Confirmed APNs certificate is valid
Disabled Firebase's method swizzling
Tested on a clean project (works fine)
Checked device logs (no relevant errors)
Code Snippet:
// In AppDelegate.swift
public func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
let tokenParts = deviceToken.map { data in String(format: "%02.2hhx", data) }
let tokenString = tokenParts.joined()
print("📱 Device Token: \(tokenString)")
// Store the token for your backend
UserDefaults.standard.set(tokenString, forKey: "deviceToken")
// Send to backend
Task {
do {
try await APIService.shared.setDeviceToken(tokenString)
} catch {
print("❌ [AppDelegate] Failed to send device token to backend: \(error)")
}
}
}
public func application(_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
// IMPORTANT: First handle push notification registration
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
// Request notification permissions
self.requestNotificationPermissions()
// Register for remote notifications
DispatchQueue.main.async {
UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications()
}
return true
}
private func requestNotificationPermissions() {
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .badge, .sound]) { granted, error in
guard granted else {
print("❌ Notification permission not granted")
return
}
print("✅ Notification permission granted")
}
}
We are facing an issue where VoIP notifications are not delivered to a user's device.
If we login with the user credentials on another device the VoIP notifications are being received, if he logs in on his device VoIP notifications are not being received anymore on all devices.
So When the user logs in on the affected device, all devices on that account stop receiving VoIP pushes (including the affected one). Logging out on the affected device restores delivery to other devices.
What could cause this issue?
It's only happening for this user so the configuration and mobile app PushKit code is working as intended.
The system calendar when showing a calendar event shows a relative timestamp on the notification versus all other apps which have a timestamp of when the notification was sent.
Is there a way to set the timestamp to be relative? I am currently working on a calendar app and we should be able to use the same system that apple uses for its own calendar.

I've built an iOS & Watch OS app using Sign in with Apple & CloudKit exclusively.
I'm now wanting to implement Push Notifications. I understand that I need a server to trigger the push notifications (I guess I could spool up a Node server somewhere or use Firebase), but I'd really like to not use any non-Apple backend services.
Am I correct in understanding that I can do this with Push Notifications Console, or do I still need a separate backend?
I'm having a reproducible problem receiving push notifications on macOS 26.2.
The pattern is that the push is received and then discarded almost immediately (there is a 60s expiration date) when on battery power and then when I plug in pushes start working and even if I unplug again it works for hours until breaking again.
These are alert notifications with priority 10.
Other team members have had similar problems but less reliably broken and even get a "stored for device power considerations" message followed by discarded (see apns-unique-id c29250a3-abbf-008a-96f9-a5384e32d1df).
An example from my machine with the apns-unique-id 6b2dfe3d-af99-182a-0e1e-6b811d3ec486 which fails immediately.
iOS is working fine however so this seems to be confined to macOS only.
Im creating a basic app, needs push notification capability. I have created two profiles (development & distribution), selected my app in Identifiers and checked the PN box to enable it (no need for broadcast). I add the profile to Xcode and it says "Provisioning profile "New VP App Jan 2026" doesn't include the Push Notifications capability."
What am I missing?

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?
The iOS documentation shows notification actions buttons with the text center aligned: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/declaring-your-actionable-notification-types
But there's no apparent way for an app to control this. The buttons are controlled and rendered by the system and the text is always left aligned.
Is there some way to get the text center aligned?
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'm running into an issue during the iOS build process for my app, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
❗ The Problem
When attempting to archive the app via EAS Build (Expo), the build fails with the following error:
`Provisioning profile "HCF_AppStore_ProvisioningProfile" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.push-notifications entitlement. Profile qualification is using entitlement definitions that may be out of date. Connect to network to update.`
What I’ve Already Done:
Enabled Push Notifications capability for the App ID (com.rsmco.helpcreatefamilies) in the Apple Developer portal.
Deleted and regenerated the App Store Provisioning Profile after enabling the capability.
Confirmed the new profile is associated with the correct App ID and Distribution Certificate.
Uploaded the new profile to EAS (Expo) and rebuilt the app.
Yet the error persists during the Xcode archive step with Exit code 65.
Additional Info:
Provisioning Profile Name: HCF_AppStore_ProvisioningProfile
App ID: com.rsmco.helpcreatefamilies
