Again notifications and SDK UPGRADE

[michal-kroliczek]

Starting with SDK 33 they introduced runtime permissions for notifications.
From docs:

So all our apps (cordova not yet support sdk 33) installed first time on Android 13 will use this logic.
I have a problem with my app, that it does not ask for the permission until I literally send first push notification and when the app is in foreground then it asks me for the permission. So 1 notification is always gone. After allowing, it works fine.

So the qustion is - what does it mean to open notification channel?
Are you experiencing the same?

Michal

Oh wait, are you creating your notification channel on-the-fly? You could create the notification channel in the app onCreate instead.

@dchase-sir will it then automatically display Allow notifications prompt?

Hi @michal-kroliczek , you can check out this fork: https://github.com/4sh/cordova-plugin-fcm-with-dependecy-updated

We've just added the support for Android 13+ and updated the README page on our fork.

Installation can be done by targetting the git tag:

npm way

npm install cordova-plugin-fcm-with-dependecy-updated@git+https://github.com/4sh/cordova-plugin-fcm-with-dependecy-updated.git#7.10.0

old cordova fashion way (not tested)

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-fcm-with-dependecy-updated@git+https://github.com/4sh/cordova-plugin-fcm-with-dependecy-updated.git#7.10.0

Afterward, in your app, calling FCM.requestPushPermission() will trigger the permission dialog on Android 13+.

@mcastets , did not help, I tried integrating and tried sending 3-4 push, as per new Android guidelines.
any suggestions?

Hi @shilpidaswani, with our fork I've managed to send some push notifications on Android 12+ and it works but there's a new issue: app does not open when tapping on the notification ...

The logcat shows:

Indirect notification activity start (trampoline) from com.your.app blocked

We have tried some workarounds with no luck, I'd switch to another maintened plugin (https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex).
