iOS Question select tone for incomming notification

[fransvlaarhoven]

Hallo,

is it possible to select the tone when a push-notification arrives?

Either from within the app (will that work if a notification arrives and the app is in background....)

or alternatively, make the app appear in the standard sound settings of the phone.

It is possible to set a custom audio file. See this post: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/push-notifications.48562/page-4#post-408746 and the following one.

as far as I can see it, this code sets the sound at "Server side", this is: the server who pushes the notification also selects the tone and this is not what I want.

I wonder if it is possible to have the user selecting the notification tone on his phone as it is possible with eg. ringtone, incoming sms, email etc.?

That's true.

I don't think that there is any other way to change the notification. You can store the user setting in the server. Another option is to use silent push notifications and then create a local notification. However they are less reliable.

Thank You for your information.
For the time being, I leave things as they are and maybe in the future, I will store the selected notification tone in the server

Hello,

when you set the notification tone "server side", is it possible to indicate that the file is not to be found in the assets folder of the app but in the documents folder?

now I use at the server: iosalert= CreateMap("title": "Messenger", "body": Message, "sound": "capisci.m4r")

is it possible to change that to: iosalert= CreateMap("title": "Messenger", "body": Message, "sound": "document/capisci.m4r")

or must the ringtone always be available in the assets folder?

It must be under Files\Special.

IPhone seems to be quite a strikt environment, but if that's the way, so be it
