iOS Question [Solved]Push not arriving under ios 11 when app is in foreground

[schimanski]

We have just mentioned, that no firebase-push message arrives, when the app is in foreground under IOs 11.1.1. No problem with older IOs-Versions. Does anybody have the same problem?

I'm using hosted builder...

Thanks for help..

Works fine here. Tested with Firebase and iOS 11.1.

Make sure that the push token is received:

Sub Application_PushToken (Success As Boolean, Token() As Byte)
   Log($"PushToken: ${Success}"$)
   Dim bc As ByteConverter
   Log(bc.HexFromBytes(Token))
   Log(LastException)
End Sub

Yes, all devices with IOs 11.1 runs fine, but not under IOs 11.1.1.

I've tested it with the latest beta version (11.2) and it works fine.

You can try to add this sub (it worked in 11.2 without it):

Sub Application_PushToken (Success As Boolean, Token() As Byte)
   Log($"PushToken: ${Success}"$)
   If Success Then
     Dim no As NativeObject
     no = no.Initialize("FIRMessaging").RunMethod("messaging", Null)
     no.SetField("apnsToken", no.ArrayToNSData(Token))
   End If
End Sub

Application_PushToken is successfull. The device also gets a real token with

Public Sub GetToken As String
   Dim no As NativeObject
   Dim token As NativeObject = no.Initialize("FIRInstanceID").RunMethod("instanceID", Null).RunMethod("token", Null)
   If token.IsInitialized Then Return token.AsString Else Return ""
End Sub

We had downgraded one device back to IOS 11 and after that, the device is pushed again over firebase when the app is in foreground.
Firebase recommended to use a key instead of a certificate. Could this be the problem? I'm using a production-apn-cert which is valid until 01/2018.

I mentioned, that firebase had created a new server-key, but I don't know why. I tried both keys without success:

Which key and which certificate? Can you post a link to the relevant documentation?

I think they means the keys in the apple-developer account instead of a certificate:

I renewed the apn-cert and uploaded the production-apn to the firebase-console, but when the app is in forground, the Application_RemoteNotification will not be raised in IOS-Versions higher than 11.1.
I don't use topics. I push the devices over the fcm-tokens. It's a mystery to me...

With the following code i can send push-messages to the client in the background, but not in foreground. In both cases, I got a positiv result, so I think, that the servercode is still correct:

[jobname=fcm, success=true, username=
, password=, errormessage=, target=class b4j.example.main

I found the wrongdoer:

m.Put("content_available", True)

After I changed back from silent push to push, I forgot to delete the content_available-line. This will cause the system under IOS 11.1.1 and higher not to push...sorry for the circumstances...
