React-native-firebase: Notifications are only received on android but on ios Messages are received.

[blazk0]

Two weeks ago, remote notification were working fine on both ios and android.
Today well, on android when i send a notification, i receive a remote notification as expected.
while on ios nothing got received so i tried using onMessage method and it works only on ios which is weird . I dont know where the issue is exactly as i didn't the change the code.

componentDidMount() {
   // This code only works on android
    this.removeNotificationDisplayedListener = firebase
      .notifications()
      .onNotificationOpened(msg => {
        this.notif.localNotif(msg._body);

        console.log(msg);

        store.dispatch(addNotification());
      });

    this.removeNotificationListener = firebase
      .notifications()
      .onNotification(msg => {
        console.log(msg);
        this.notif.localNotif(msg._body);

        console.log(msg);

        store.dispatch(addNotification());
      });

   // This only works on ios and not android
    firebase.messaging().onMessage(msg => {
      console.log(msg);
      this.notif.localNotif(msg._data.Text);
    });
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    this.removeNotificationDisplayedListener();
    this.removeNotificationListener();
  }

"react-native": "0.59.9"
"react-native-firebase": "^5.5.6"

You didn't really follow the template, so I don't know what your Pods or Android SDK versions are for firebase. Maybe those updated?

That said, for messaging items to have effective troubleshooting they need to be easily reproducible, and sending messages via the console doesn't work. Do you have a an example JSON that we could see to see what you are sending? There examples on other messaging related bugs for "push notification" "data" and "payload" as search terms I think

[blazk0]

@mikehardy Thanks for your quick reply!

This is my pods file.

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'lendish' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for lendish
  # Required by RNFirebase
  pod 'Firebase/Core', '~> 6.3.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Messaging', '~> 6.3.0'

  target 'lendish-tvOSTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

  target 'lendishTests' do
    inherit! :search_paths
    # Pods for testing
  end

end

target 'lendish-tvOS' do
  # Uncomment the next line if you're using Swift or would like to use dynamic frameworks
  # use_frameworks!

  # Pods for lendish-tvOS

end

my sdk version

ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
    }

and this is the remote message received on ios

RemoteMessage {_collapseKey: "org.reactjs.native.example.lendish", _data: {…}, _from: "630827710601", _messageId: "-LumIfmMuur1JYDcSrl-", _messageType: undefined, …}

don't post the device token :-), I deleted it. Also Pods are ruby. 6.13.0 is current, you should try that version

I don't want to see the remote message received, I want to see the call you made to get firebase to send it. e.g. https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/2796#issuecomment-547580055

[mikehardy]

for completeness - I think upgrading to 6.13.0 has only a small chance of fixing it, but if you're not current we are out of luck for fixes because fixes will go on current... (also react-native is 0.59.10 on 0.59.x but also likely won't alter anything - the upgrade-helper site can show you what changed)

I don't want to see the remote message received, I want to see the call you made to get firebase to send it. e.g. #2796 (comment)

Well its a simple api request and the back end send the notification to the device token i sent.
The problem is that the code was working great but now it doesn't,
Its most likely a new update to ios ?
I still dont the know why its behaving this way tho.

[mikehardy]

Nothing is simple with messaging.

[blazk0]

@mikehardy is there any common causes for this ?
i have been at it for 3 days now. i uninstalled the package and reinstalled on both android and ios.
still, on notification is only triggered for android and onMessage is triggered for ios.
the certifications are ok and my xcode settings are setup exactly as the docs.

still onNotification is triggered only for android and not ios onMessage instead.

This is really weird as it was working perfectly on both platforms about 2 weeks ago.

I don't want to see the remote message received, I want to see the call you made to get firebase to send it. e.g. #2796 (comment)

I'm interested to see the actual JSON you post, in the style linked.

[blazk0]

@mikehardy
If u mean the backend code which triggers the notification.

[mikehardy]

images of text are impossible. Text only. I have sent you a link TWICE with an example of what I want. Use it if you want my help, please.

[blazk0]

@mikehardy ok what about this ?
when i send a test notification from firebase console to my device.
this page

on ios device this gets sent.

the ios log is almost completly empty however the android log has "Hello World" which i sent in the body.

what can the reason for this be ?

[blazk0]

@mikehardy this is the json posted from the backend.

        case notification := <-h.Notification:
            payloadJSON, err := json.Marshal(notification)
            if err != nil {
                log.Error(err)
            }
            var payload map[string]string
            json.Unmarshal(payloadJSON, &payload)
            message := messaging.Message{
                Data:  payload,
                Token: notification.DeviceToken,
                Notification: &messaging.Notification{
                    Title: "Lendish",
                    Body:  notification.Text,
                },
            }
            resp, err := h.Firebase.Send(context.Background(), &message)
            if err != nil {
                log.Error(err)
            }
            log.Info(resp)
        }
    }
}

Its written in go but its readable.

[mikehardy]

JSON

[mikehardy]

I say that because really, do you expect me to execute some Go code in order to see the actual JSON posted? You are asking random people on the internet for help but making it incredibly difficult. Make it AS EASY AS POSSIBLE if you want help, yes?

PLEASE POST THE ACTUAL JSON YOU SEND TO THE SERVER, then maybe someone can reproduce it.

[blazk0]

@mikehardy Sorry about that... ,
Turns out there is a method called registerForRemoteNotifications();

so i added this line of code in my app.js file

componentDidMount() {
    // I Added This line.
    firebase.messaging().ios.registerForRemoteNotifications();

    this.removeNotificationDisplayedListener = firebase
      .notifications()
      .onNotificationOpened(msg => {
        console.log(msg);
        navigate('Notifications');
      });

    this.removeNotificationListener = firebase
      .notifications()
      .onNotification(msg => {
        this.notif.localNotif(msg._body);
        store.dispatch(addNotification());
        console.log(msg);
      });
  }

its abit weird since i didn't find this method in the docs but its working now !.

Hey did you get anything in the data object after adding this line? firebase.messaging().ios.registerForRemoteNotifications(); Because even after adding this line it returns an empty object for me.

Better if you can point me to your file which handles all

:)
