This is a big deal 🚨
We are now unable to receive notifications on iOS since our notification system is based on data-only push notifications. Nothing goes through.

Did you manage to show notifications when the app terminated on iOS before? How to do that? because FCM documentation says it's not possible to show notifications when the app is terminated in iOS. @ndelanou

For this issue, I still receive the background notification (not terminated), but then since evening I haven't received it anymore... it seems the bug is fresh.

Hi @petrnymsa, thanks for the report! I couldn't reproduce the issue on my end. Could you provide detailed steps to help replicate it?

[petrnymsa]

They are still same as in original issue. Issue was closed just because of "stale bot" which does not make sense to push community keep "issue" updated.

Issue persists and I am not only one.

Firebase packages are updated. Real device or iOS simulator - behavior is same. background handler or event onMessageOpenedApp are not fired at all. (By the way started to see same behaviour for Android devices too)

I couldn't reproduce this behaviour with the firebase_messaging example app. Could you run the example app with your firebase credentials to see if it's still reproducible?
