Canned push notifications on iOS

Open WuMingIT opened this issue 10 months ago • 1 comments

Remote notifications contain canned text only. “New Topic Message” and “New Contact Request” titles with no body. If the latter is adequate the former is bare minimum. A message preview would be useful.

Also are remote notifications working if server is self hosted?

  1. I agree, a message preview would be useful. I need to research how to get the decryption key into the notification context and apply the decryption. I have added this to the backlog.

  2. Previously each node could send directly to the firebase server, which then relays the push notiifcation to each device. Recently firebase changed their API, forcing databag to also host a relay. Now when the server generates a notification it first sends a message to the databag relay, which then sends to the firebase relay. This is not the case for unified push if you are using that. In that case the server sends a message to a self hosted relay, which then communicates with the device.
