Mobile Notifications 2.0.0 update broke local notifications on iOS

We ended up updating the Mobile Notifications package to 2.0.0 because the previous version clashed hard with Firebase plugins and caused black screens and crashes on iOS 15. There's a thread about the issue and solution in GitHub (which is now closed). Updating to Mobile Notifications 2.0.0 solved the crash issue, but came with new ones. Specifically, the local notifications do not seem to function on any iOS version anymore as intended. So we fixed the crash but lost the functionality of notifications - a bad tradeoff. For Android everything is working exactly the same as before, so this is iOS-specific.

I am wondering what might be causing the lack of local notifications on iOS after the update? We did update to Xcode 13.2.1, too, as it's now required by Apple. Previously we were using Xcode 12.4.0. But it seems the lack of local notifications started right after updating the Mobile Notifications package. We are not seeing any errors in the log and we even see log prints about the scheduling of notifications, they just don't show up.

Has anyone else faced the same issues on iOS?

 

Hello. What you're describing sounds like it could match the current behaviour. I do request the permission to send local notifications in the beginning of the app. I was not aware of this provisional permission change. I will have to look into it. Thank you!

 

This Apple doc seems to imply that the Provisional Authorization option needs to be set and called explicitly, so it would be kind of surprising if this happened to you without you explicitly adding the option.

 

You're probably right. This is not the case. Something else has changed in the setup which causes our notifications to fail silently on iOS.

So this issue remains unsolved.

 

It seems there's a new log message visible in Xcode on version 13.2.1 when backgrounding the app. I haven't noticed this before.

Code (CSharp):

1. unregister notification for write_timeout failed

It seems this might be related to our specific setup since we got both Firebase and Mobile Notifications in the app.

Still no solution to fix it.

 

I have both Firebase + FCM installed as well, and am not getting any notifications via Mobile Notifications. Today I'm going to try ripping out FCM to see if local notifications work. For our project, local notifications are more valuable.

 

I have same problem with ios local mobile notifications, have any idea what to do?

 

Dialog in the beginning is visible. Provisonal flag is not enabled. Notifications are not displayed, but it seems they are sent because they appear in the Unity logs.

 

When I downgrade packet to version 1.4.2 it's work fine.

 

Sorry for posting on an old thread but this seems most relevant. I'm having trouble with this as well. I've tried Downgrading from 2.x back to 1.4.2 but also no luck. I've double checked everything in this thread with Provisional being unchecked, permissions granted (verified w/ code as well) etc. The notification code runs and notifications are added (it says) but I never receive the notification. Also... works fine on Android. Also, I have Firebase in my project. I don't have any reason to suspect any particular thing as the problem though so I'm curious if anyone has a suggestion how to debug further.

 

Yes, thanks for the reply. I did also come to the conclusion it's something else with the project. I'm not sure how to debug what though. I'm not getting any errors or other feedback. I tried looking in the Console for the device and filtering for notification messages but either I'm not finding anything or it's too verbose to find anything useful.

 

I found the issue. Sometimes it just takes posting on a forum and looking at it again lol.

My notification Trigger was not being assigned. I created a trigger time but didn't correctly set the notification variable to that time.
