FCM iOS Push Notification cannot receive any notification

Question

I've currently working with notifications and I've not succeed to get any notification from the Firebase FCM.

The podfile configuration is:

target 'Project' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for Project
  pod 'Firebase/Core'
  pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
end

I've activated Push Notifications and Remote Notifications from the Background fetches and already read the another topic in stackoverflow which is currently similar, in here

I want to share my AppDelegate codes with you but firstly I have to say the documents of the Google for push notifications seems a bit confusing because there are so many overrided method in here and every tutorial has different way to accomplish to receive a notification.

I've imported these

import Firebase
import FirebaseInstanceID
import UserNotifications
import FirebaseMessaging

Then there is the delegations

class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate, MessagingDelegate{
...
}

Then here is the willFinishLaunchWithOptions method

func application(_ application: UIApplication, willFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool {
        FirebaseApp.configure()
        Messaging.messaging().delegate = self



        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            // For iOS 10 display notification (sent via APNS)
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
            let authOptions: UNAuthorizationOptions = [.alert, .badge, .sound]
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(
                options: authOptions,
                completionHandler: {_, _ in })
            // For iOS 10 data message (sent via FCM
        } else {
            let settings: UIUserNotificationSettings =
                UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.alert, .badge, .sound], categories: nil)
            application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)

        }

        application.registerForRemoteNotifications()


        return true
    }

And here is the Messaging delegate functions.

func messaging(_ messaging: Messaging, didReceive remoteMessage: MessagingRemoteMessage) {
        print("MEssage ->  \(remoteMessage.appData)")
    }

    func messaging(_ messaging: Messaging, didReceiveRegistrationToken fcmToken: String) {
        print("Firebase registration token: \(fcmToken)")
    }

That function was in the Firebase documentation for setting apns token.

func application(application: UIApplication,
                     didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
        Messaging.messaging().apnsToken = deviceToken as Data
    }

I've sent hundreds of notifications from the FCM' and it sent successfully on the server side but when i log the received message there is nothing to income data.

If you ask that why I implement configuration in willFinish function there was a note in the documentation like that.

        For devices running iOS 10 and above, you must assign the
     UNUserNotificationCenter's delegate property and FIRMessaging's 
delegate property. For example, in an iOS app, assign it in the 
applicationWillFinishLaunchingWithOptions: or 
applicationDidFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method of the app delegate.

I would appreciate that any help from you, because its hard to see what's wrong with it for now.

Answer 1

I answered a similar question here.

A crucial step is enabling "Push Notification" in Capabilities.

Happy coding everyone!

Answer 2

I have the same issue on ios 13 devices. But it was working fine on below ios 13 devices. The issue was didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken method was not getting called on ios 13 device. After some research i found that it is due to network connection problem. Then i switched from my office wifi to cellular network, after that it worked. didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken returned device token.

Answer 3

I'm using FirebaseMessaging v4.1.4 and have enabled method swizzling

application.registerForRemoteNotifications() --> First

Messaging.messaging().delegate = self --> Second

You have to set messaging delegate after requesting for remote notification. (I noticed that you're calling it before requesting for permission)

In my case because I called it before I did not receive APNS Token in didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken method for iOS 13 whereas firebase token was generated.

Maybe because the APNS was not generated and firebase was not mapped with the APNS Token you might have not received any notification.

Answer 4

They say Caution: To use the FCM direct channel this way, you must send messages using the legacy HTTP API. The HTTP v1 API uses APNs for all messages sent to iOS devices. And you need to put Messaging.messaging().shouldEstablishDirectChannek = true

Answer 5

1. Please check if you have activated Push Notifications in your Project Capabilities

2. Create Development APNs certificate and add it to Firebase Console Project Settings

3. In your App Delegate

   import FirebaseMessaging
   import UserNotifications
   
   
   
   @UIApplicationMain
   class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, 
   UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate, MessagingDelegate {
   
   var window: UIWindow?
   
   
   func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.
   
   
   
       //REMOTE NOTIFICATION
   
       if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
           // For iOS 10 display notification (sent via APNS)
           UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
   
           let authOptions: UNAuthorizationOptions = [.alert, .badge, .sound]
       UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(
               options: authOptions,
               completionHandler: {_, _ in })
       } else {
           let settings: UIUserNotificationSettings =
           UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.alert, .badge, .sound], categories: nil)
           application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
       }
   
       application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
   
       Messaging.messaging().delegate = self
   
       let token = Messaging.messaging().fcmToken
       print("FCM token: \(token ?? "")")
   
   
       //Added Code to display notification when app is in Foreground
       if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
           UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
       } else {
           // Fallback on earlier versions
       }
   
   
       return true
   }
   
   
   func application(_ application: UIApplication,
                didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
       Messaging.messaging().apnsToken = deviceToken as Data
   }
   
   func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any]) {
       // Print full message.
       print(userInfo)
   
   }
   
   // This method will be called when app received push notifications in foreground
   @available(iOS 10.0, *)
   func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void)
   { completionHandler([UNNotificationPresentationOptions.alert,UNNotificationPresentationOptions.sound,UNNotificationPresentationOptions.badge])
   }
   
   
   // MARK:- Messaging Delegates
   func messaging(_ messaging: Messaging, didReceiveRegistrationToken fcmToken: String) {
       InstanceID.instanceID().instanceID { (result, error) in
           if let error = error {
               print("Error fetching remote instange ID: \(error)")
           } else if let result = result {
               print("Remote instance ID token: \(result.token)")
           }
       }
   }
   
   
   func messaging(_ messaging: Messaging, didReceive remoteMessage: MessagingRemoteMessage) {
       print("received remote notification")
   }
   
   
   
   }
