Logs taken while reproducing problem

no log, app is build on "phonegap build" and being deployed to appstore on testflight for production

the plugin was using deprecated method, but master branch uses the new recommended way, so, can you try with master branch and see if it works?

[superainovacoes]

updated the config.xml with master branch

<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push#master" />

but the problem is not solved, the behaviour is the same as mentioned before

[tavikukko]

Got the same problem, nothing triggers on notification, registration is working. Tested with iOS12 + iPhone XS. I don't see any commits in master branch to fix this problem.

[tavikukko]

Tested also with the master branch, no success. Android works ok.

[tavikukko]

I got it working with version 2.2.3. The problem was with new Xcode10 (mojave). For some reason Xcode10 was not able to start the app in the phone after deployment with provisioning profile, I just got message “iPhone has denied the launch request”. After changing the launch options Product -> Scheme --> Edit Scheme --> Info --> Launch: "Wait for executable to be launched". Tested getting notification when app is open and closed. Both cases notification received. .on('notification') event triggered when the app is open. When the app is closed, clicking the notification opens the app, but does not trigger the .on('notification') event, but that is by design. Remember, you need to sign the app with provisioning profile to be able to receive notifications.

I'm currently traveling a bunch for work so I'm not sure when I'm going to get a chance to sit down and really test things out with iOS 12 so anyone who can jump in here it would be greatly appreciated.

[tavikukko]

I have now tested this plugin with iOS12 and it works properly. Just realised that the .on('notification') even triggers when the app is totally closed, I didn't know this was possible, as just tested all scenarios and its working both android and iOS. So my issues were something else which described earlier in this thread. @superainovacoes is the creator of this issue so he will need to continue from here. Thanks for the great plugin!

[superainovacoes]

@tavikukko i just can't choose the xcode version, i'm using phonegap build.
Can you please share your fcm payload or the steps, so i can test it again?
Have you tried the version 2.2.3 or the master branch?

[tavikukko]

I use Xcode to build locally and use the version 2.2.3, not the master branch. I'm not using fcm, I'm using Azure Notification Hub to send the messages. This is the payload:

{ "aps": { "alert": "title of the notification", "sound": "cat.caf" }, "title": "title of the notification", "message": "message of the notification" }

[superainovacoes]

iOS Version: 12.1
Android Version: 8.0.0
Both apps are signed to production.
Tested with config.xml

Having a similar issue where the plugin is registering fine. I receive notifications when the app is in the background, but .on('notification') never fires on cold start or when the app is in the foreground.

[Lenndev]

On iOS and Android the plugin works fine for me, but on iOS on('notification') doesn't seem to be fired if the app is in foreground... i am sending test notifications from FCM console, any solutions?
