same here, any info/news?

I fixed my problem by making sure I was installing the latest release of the plugin, not 0.8.1:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#0.8.5

Also, this example branch is in a working state:
https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications/tree/example-x

cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#0.8.5

Was the trick, thank you

I've got the same issue but I'm using an Ionic3 app deployed to iOS11.
Updated to 0.8.5 and get the same result.
I can see it scheduled but never triggered. No errors from the plugin.

@kyle9292 did you figure this out? Having the same issue.

[kyle9292]

@wootwoot1234 No I haven't. Sorry. Just kind of waiting for the plugin to be updated.

[katzer]

Please use the latest code - you can use the master branch now. That issue with iOS11 and UI thread has been solved already.

Thanks @katzer! I appreciate all your hard work to get out this fix.

[wootwoot1234]

@katzer thanks!
