I am trying to retrieve delivered notifications using UNUserNotificationCenter.getDeliveredNotifications(completionHandler:), but I have encountered an issue:
Notifications triggered by UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger or UNCalendarNotificationTrigger appear in the delivered list.
However, notifications triggered by UNLocationNotificationTrigger do not appear in the list.
Here is the code I use to fetch delivered notifications:
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().getDeliveredNotifications { notifications in
for notification in notifications {
print("Received notification: \(notification.request.identifier)")
}
}
The notification is scheduled as follows:
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Test Notification"
content.body = "This is a location-based notification."
content.sound = .default
let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194) // Example coordinates
let region = CLCircularRegion(center: coordinate, radius: 100, identifier: "TestRegion")
region.notifyOnEntry = true
region.notifyOnExit = false
let trigger = UNLocationNotificationTrigger(region: region, repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "LocationTest", content: content, trigger: trigger)
center.add(request) { error in
if let error = error {
print("Error adding notification: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
Why does getDeliveredNotifications not return notifications that were triggered using UNLocationNotificationTrigger?
How can I retrieve such notifications after they have been delivered?

Hello,
we have a problem with fake call on iPhone device for incoming calls.
When I leave the iPhone in idle state for 30, 40 seconds and dialed voip app number the iPhone rings and there is no problem.
When I leave it in idle for longer time one minute or two minutes I get "Call Failed to Connect" on iPhone's display and after this fake call I get second call with real calling number displays on iPhone.
This first fake call is triggered by wake up push notification type 'voip'.
If I switched off this wake up push notification type 'voip' and device's token has not expired yet I don't get fake call and iPhone's directly displays calling number.
But in this situation we need to use wake up push notification type 'voip' on during a certain time to keep the device's token in our database and continuing to receive calling number without fake call.
If we switched off the wake up push notification type 'voip' on certain time we need to activate again wake up push notification type 'voip' for incoming calls to wake up the iPhone.
And in this way every time on every incoming call the iPhone's will display first fake call "Call Failed to connect" and after that the call with Calling number.
How we can eliminate this fake call and use only one wake up push notification only for incoming calls not use second type wake up push on certain time?
Thank you,
I paste here our code for this:
public ApnClient(IOptions settings)
{
var httpHandler = new HttpClientHandler()
{
ClientCertificates = { new X509Certificate2(certificate.Export(X509ContentType.Pfx)) },
};
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls13;
this.httpClient = new HttpClient(httpHandler)
{
DefaultRequestVersion = HttpVersion.Version20,
DefaultVersionPolicy = HttpVersionPolicy.RequestVersionOrHigher,
BaseAddress = new Uri(settings.Value.ApnProdBaseUri),
DefaultRequestHeaders =
{
{
"apns-topic", ApnsTopic
},
},
};
}
public async Task<bool> WakeUpDevice(string deviceToken, string callId)
{
this.requestContent = new StringContent(
$"{{\"aps\":{{\"content-available\":\"1\"}}}}",
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8,
"application/json");
var res = await this.httpClient.PostAsync($"/3/device/{deviceToken}", this.requestContent);
return res.IsSuccessStatusCode;
}
I am currently implementing VoIP push notifications in my iOS app using PushKit. On iOS 18, I am able to receive VoIP notifications successfully when the app is in the foreground. However, when the app is in the background or in a terminated (kill) state, the notifications do not arrive.
In earlier iOS versions, my existing implementation worked as expected across all app states. This issue seems to have started after testing on iOS 18, which appears to have introduced stricter permission or background execution requirements.
Questions:
Has iOS 18 introduced new permission requirements or entitlements for VoIP push notifications?
Do I need to explicitly request a new type of user permission for VoIP notifications?
Are there additional background modes, Info.plist keys, or PushKit changes required for VoIP to work in background and terminated states on iOS 18?
Additional Information:
. Foreground: Works fine, pushRegistry(_:didReceiveIncomingPushWith:for:completion:) is triggered.
. Background/Terminated: No call to the above delegate method.
. Using correct voip push type in the payload.
. PushKit is configured in AppDelegate.
. Background modes for "Voice over IP" and "Background Processing" are enabled.
. Using a real device with iOS 18 for testing (not simulator).
Any guidance or updated documentation references for handling VoIP pushes in iOS 18 would be greatly appreciated.
User is using my app, the goes to System Settings, and changes some of my App's settings (switches, text fields, etc).
Does the system send my app any kind of notification?
David
PS: I tried all kinds of searches on this and found nothing.

We are developing an app that receives push notifications (via Firebase) from configured IoT devices. It is essential that when a specific type of notification is received, a sound is played continuously until the user interacts with the notification.
This behavior is crucial for alerting users to certain critical states of the IoT device.
We understand that Critical Alerts on iOS can bypass Do Not Disturb and silent mode. However, from our testing and available documentation, the sound from a Critical Alert seems to be limited to around 30 seconds.
Our question:
Is it possible on iOS to have a Critical Alert (or any other type of notification) continue playing sound until the user interacts with the notification or app? If so, could someone please point us to the appropriate documentation or APIs?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
PLATFORM AND VERSION: iOS
Development environment: Other: .net MAUI with vscode
Run-time configuration: iOS 18.1.1
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
APNS notifications of apns-push-type pushtotalk sometimes stop arriving after switching networks.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
We have created a simple app which can be used to deminstrate this issue. When you launch the app it displays the APNS token which you can then use fromn the Apple Push Console to manually send it PTT push notifications.
https://github.com/trampster/PttPushNotificationIssue
On an iPhone SE (we havn't been able to reproduce on our iPhone 11)
Start the APP to register for the APNS push notifications
Turn off the WiFi wait for 5 seconds
Attempt a push to the app manually using the Push Notifications Console (this should fail, which is fine)
Turn on Cellular and wait for it to connect
Attempt to push to the app manually using the Push Notifications Console
-> This fails, and all attempts to send an pushtotalk push notifications fail until the we switch network again.
Send a push while offline before connecting to the new network seems to make it happen more often but hard to tell for sure.
The results of the failed push in the console look like this:
Delivery LogLast updated: 30/01/25, 16:45:06 GMT+13 Refresh
30 Jan 2025, 16:45:03.661 GMT+13
received by APNS Server
30 Jan 2025, 16:45:03.662 GMT+13
discarded as device was offline
The device is actually very much online.
Switching networks again oftern makes things come right. But it doesn't seem to come right by itself.
We can't respond to network changes and do anything as the whole point of using push-to-talk push notifications is to wake up the app when in the background to answer a call, this means we are not running and therefore cannot respond to network changes to try to work arround this issue.
The APP was not awakened by system after start a liveactivity and the liveactivity has showed on lock screen.so the updatetoken wont send to our inner server and the liveactivity can not update,often like this,but sometimes it can work.
it makes me confuse,and i don't know how should i can do,because the liveactivity like a black box,i can not analyse the data link.for example ,inner server send a start liveactivity,but it can not accept a updatetoken unless the user lanuch APP.
i hope the liveactivity can start and update on background. And i have developed it as described in the document.
Hope to get your help,thank you very much.
Hello,
We are currently facing a persistent issue where Apple Push Notifications (APNs) are no longer being delivered to devices. This is not an intermittent problem — push notifications have completely stopped working. We are using PushSharp.Apple (Version 4.0.10.0) to send the notifications.
Current Behavior (Failing):
Every notification request appears to be processed successfully from the server side.
However, the APNs client receives a 0-byte response, and the server closes the connection.
Devices do not receive the notifications at all.
Logs from Current (Failing) State:
APNS-Client[1]: Connected (Batch ID=1)
APNS-Client[1]: Sent Batch, waiting for possible response...
APNS-Client[1]: Received 0 bytes response...
APNS-Client[1]: Server Closed Connection...
APNS-Client[1]: Disconnected (Batch ID=1)
For Reference – Successful Log From Earlier (When Notifications Worked):
APNS-Client[1]: Connected (Batch ID=1)
APNS-Client[1]: Sent Batch, waiting for possible response...
APNS-Client[1]: Received -1 bytes response...
Push Notification Successfully Sent to Device
Any help, suggestions, or experience with similar issues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
An Application Group with Identifier 'group.com.aaa.aaa.onesignal' is not available. Please enter a different string.
How can I Fix this error? I need to add it in this format.

Hi,
We have a simple calendar reminder app that uses UNNotificationRequest to schedule local notifications for user events.
I’m wondering whether UNNotificationRequest has a system-imposed limit of 64 upcoming scheduled notifications, similar to the deprecated UILocalNotification.
We’re asking because one of our users is not receiving recently scheduled reminders.
Our current workflow is:
We schedule notifications on app launch and when the app is about to quit.
Before scheduling, we call removeAllPendingNotificationRequests().
We then fetch the 64 nearest upcoming events and schedule them using
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(...).
This approach works fine during our testing, but we’re unsure what might be causing the issue for some users.
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!
I am trying to issue the "start" APNs push notification to start a live activity for my iOS app. The notification appears to send correctly, there is no error message, but the live activity never appears for any of my users (users are in TestFlight).
In addition to issuing the APNs commands from my server, I have also tried using the CloudKit Push Notification Console to manually generate a "start" notification. It submits correctly but the live activity never starts.
I have also checked the Console app to watch the device logs and see if iOS is rejecting/throttling the live activity but I don't see any activity related to the start message at all.
Here are some details:
App bundle ID: `com.penzu.moodmoji`
APNs topic: `com.penzu.moodmoji.push-type.liveactivity`
APNs push type: `liveactivity`
Recent apns-id: `7b633309-b7fd-4163-b620-776efa04f315`
APNs payload:
{
"aps": {
"timestamp": 1742651625,
"event": "start",
"content-state": {
"totalDays": 7,
"currentDay": 2,
"progress": 0.29,
"status": "ACTIVE",
"reportReady": false
},
"attributes-type": "GoalActivityAttributes",
"attributes": {
"totalDays": 7,
"currentDay": 2,
"progress": 0.29,
"status": "ACTIVE",
"reportReady": false
},
"alert": {
"title": "It's day 2!",
"body": "Don't forget to record every time you feel anxious today."
}
}
}
I can confirm that LiveActivities started by the iOS app with ActivityKit work correctly, and the app does appear to be receiving pushToStartTokenUpdates:
struct GoalActivityAttributes: ActivityAttributes, Sendable {
struct ContentState: Codable & Hashable, Sendable {
let totalDays: Int
let currentDay: Int
let progress: Double
let status: String
let reportReady: Bool
}
let goal: SimpleGoal
}
for await nextStartToken in Activity<GoalActivityAttributes>.pushToStartTokenUpdates {
// send nextStartToken to server...
}
The app I'm testing with is in TestFlight, using the production APNs environment.
I've added a Notification Service Extension as a target to my React Native iOS app following Apple's official documentation. After completing all the setup steps as outlined in the documentation, the notification titles remain unchanged - notifications are arriving without any modifications, suggesting the extension isn't functioning properly.Testing Details:
Sending notifications via Apple Push Notification Console
Tested on iPhone 16 Pro Max (physical device)
Tested on iPhone 15 Pro simulator
Both show the same issue - no title modifications
The extension appears to not be executing at all.
Has anyone encountered similar issues with Notification Service Extensions in React Native projects, or can suggest troubleshooting steps to verify the extension is properly configured and running?
If an iOS application has a notification service extension which gets sent a push, but the user has not been prompted for notification authorization via requestAuthorization() then what is the expected behavior?
Will the push get delivered to the NSE but the resulting notification not displayed? Or will the push not get delivered at all to the NSE?
The APNs Feedback Service domain “feedback.push.apple.com” was deprecated on March 31, 2021, and became unavailable after August 2025 due to domain name resolution failures.
Will this feedback service become available again in the future?
Also, is it possible to use the APNs Feedback Service with a domain different from “feedback.push.apple.com”?
Dear Apple Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a playful and innovative idea that could enhance the iPhone experience—particularly when viewing content in full-screen mode through apps like Apple TV or YouTube.
Feature Concept: Hands-Free Dismissal of Notifications
When the iPhone is in landscape mode, incoming notifications can interrupt the viewing experience. While Focus Mode and swipe gestures help, I thought of a more intuitive and hands-free interaction: using a light puff of air directed toward the screen to dismiss a notification.
This interaction could use the microphone or other onboard sensors to detect a brief burst of air, providing a fun and natural way to maintain immersion without touching the device.
If this isn’t feasible with current hardware, here are a few alternative concepts that align with the same goal:
Blink to Dismiss: Using Face ID sensors to detect a quick blink as a hands-free gesture.
Shake to Dismiss: A gentle shake gesture when holding the iPhone in one hand.
Gaze-Based Dismissal: Notifications automatically disappear after a brief moment of eye contact.
These ideas could offer both accessibility benefits and a touch of delight—making the iPhone feel even more magical and responsive.
Thank you for your time and for considering this suggestion!
Warm regards,
Badhan Baidya
Good morning all!
We are facing a specific case dealing with push notifications to iOS devices.
In my scenario:
I turn off my device's internet
Send multiple push notifications via server using Firebase.
I turned ON my device's internet again.
I only see the last push notification I sent.
This is an expected scenario?
There is any documentation that supports this statement?
Thank you all!

APNS
Hello! I'm currently trying to add local push notifications to my iOS app (React Native + Expo). Most of the guides and documentation I found online revolve around remote notification capabilities and APNS - I don't need this. The app will register a background task to periodically check if it should trigger a notification, fully local. I'm running into issues when adding the push notification capabilities, saying I need a new provisioning profile and to modify the App ID, which prompts me to set up certificates to communicate with APNS - which I don't need.
So I was wondering: Is it possible to build an app without the remote notification setup that can still trigger local notifications? Or is it kind of all-or-nothing, and I need to set up remote notifications as well even if I only need to trigger them locally?
Couldn't really find much online about this, and before I invalidate my current certificates and go through a bunch of redundant setup, I thought I'd ask here.
Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello, I'm from Microsoft team maintaining push notification api behind Teams platform.
We are experiencing strange and short error spikes towards APNS that seem to mostly correlate worldwide. We checked the networking and push request code but could not find what could be causing this. These error spikes are all timeouts or connection resets (by remote host, ie. APNS servers) and seem to come and go randomly:
Would it be possible to check this for outages or some other metrics on your side or investigate why would it happen? Since it's worldwide it seems unlikely it's something broken on our side. We are using the standard APNS http2 endpoint with modern support for all RFC features (so everything should work normally).
Mind you, our api might be in a unique position because of the volume of notifications (in the billions per day).
When I turn the Ringtone and Alerts volume all the way up, I expect standard notifications to play at the loudest level the device allows. In theory, this should match the volume of a critical alert with its sound.volume set to 1.0 in payload.
However, I’ve noticed that non-critical notifications still play quieter than critical alerts under these conditions. Critical alerts with volume: 1.0 sound noticeably louder than standard notifications, even though the Ringtone and Alerts slider is already set to maximum. And I couldn't find a documentation for this behavior anywhere.
Is this expected behavior on iOS? And is there any way to make non-critical notifications play at the same maximum loudness as critical alerts?
Thanks in advance for any clarification.
I am developing a VoIP service.
Usually, when receiving a VoIP Push, Callkit is exposed immediately after receiving the message and the app is designed to be used.
However, there is an extremely intermittent phenomenon (not well reproduced) where the app does not wake up even when receiving a VoIP Push. And after a long time, the app wakes up and Callkit is activated. (A long time after receiving the call…)
Has anyone experienced the above phenomenon? I wonder if there are any reported parts depending on the OS version. (I have identified that it does not occur in the 17.x version, but it is difficult to guarantee because it occurs extremely intermittently)
The app is not running in the background, but... Could this be happening if there are a lot of pending operations in the background?
I need help urgently
