Quickstart-ios: iOS Notification not working when app is killed

Created on 10 Aug 2016 · 3Comments · Source: firebase/quickstart-ios

Hi,
I still don't get the notifications where the app is killed. I had set the field "priority": "high" in my payload, but no luck. I get the notifications when the app is in foreground and background.
Does anyone has the same issue? Someone please help me out with this, I have been on this for quite sometime.

Thanks,
Mrithula

Hi @mrithula-ancy this is working as intended, when the user takes action to close an app by for example swiping it away from the multitasking view then messages are not delivered to that application till the app is restarted by the user.

From the Apple developer docs:

However, the system does not automatically launch your app if the user has force-quit it. In that situation, the user must relaunch your app or restart the device before the system attempts to launch your app automatically again.

Hi,
Yes the above said is true, but I should be getting the notifications in my notification tray right? Iam not getting the notifications in tray. So the app is killed and when the notification is clicked by the user in the notification tray the app will be re-launched.

Hi @mrithula-ancy

I just solved this issue. Just check, have you uploaded the .p12 file on Firebase console ?
