React-native-firebase: [🐛] Stopped receiving push notifications on IOS

[ItaiYuda]

Issue

IOS notification works fine until I close/open the app several times while sending notifications from the server, then the IOS device does not receive any notifications and in the server I get "notRegistered" for the fcm token. After opening/closing the app several times while the server sends notifications, suddenly it is working again and the device receives the notification.
All the notifications are Notification + Data
I saw issues on it but didn't find the solution for me.
I was tried:

• add FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled = YES to info.plist
• delete and generate a new fcm token on every app load and send to the server
• request for permissions requestPermission() on every app load
• registerDeviceForRemoteMessages() if false
• set a listener on onTokenRefresh to send new token to the server when the token changed

On android everything works fine.

[mikehardy]

You selectively include chunks of info we want, not the whole thing (package.json)

in the past this has been due to e.g. react-native-push-notifications (not our package) or some other 3rd party package trying to register new tokens each app startup, which confuses everything as it's a complicated async network process. We have never reproduced this on a clean react-native-firebase only project

If you can reproduce this on a fresh project from https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh we can reopen, but this is not reproduced in my work project at least

May you tell me please if you familiar with the library/libraries that can cause this problem?

[mikehardy]

I mentioned the ones I was familiar with, but that's an incredible stack of libraries. I'd bet $1 you can't reproduce with only react-native-firebase in a clean app.

I can say that you should drop react-native-splash-screen immediately. Switch to react-native-bootsplash

https://github.com/crazycodeboy/react-native-splash-screen/issues/289#issuecomment-502406454

It has caused problems before.

[mikehardy]

Without a clean reproduction, this is not actionable here. It will be a non-react-native-firebase package in my experience. If you can make a clean reproduction that implicates react-native-firebase we will reopen
