Firebase-js-sdk: FR: Safari Push Notification Support (via APN)

[digaus]

Any plans on supporting the Safari Push Notifications (implement APN handling and conversion to FCM keys)?

can we use any third party notification which interact with FCM?

Just wondering if there are any updates on this issue as it seems to be completely silent except from users of Firebase.

Would love an update on this, this is sorely needed

Same here, it's a big turn down for us, it represents 27% of the Market Share on mobile, and 3% on desktop.

Ignoring Safari on mobile is definitely not an option in our PWA.

@andreasanta You mention Safari on iOS but even Apple's own APN push notifications only work on macOS currently. There is no support for push messages in Safari on iOS. No amount of money, development will change that unless Apple deems it worth the time to implement.

That said: I'd love Safari on macOS support so consider me /subbed

[andreasanta]

@rejhgadellaa So unfortunately true! I thought APN would work on Safari iOS. Apparently, Apple is still determined to restrict core functionality to Apps, so they can cash in a while longer on the App Store purchases. You're right, nothing can change that unless they open the functionality to PWAs.

YUP, lack of iOS support truly sucks. But I'm pretty sure that when it is finally introduced by Apple - it will be implemented in FCM, won't it?

I'm sure native iOS support is coming. Meantime, macOS support would be nice.
