Current behavior:

On iOS devices (<any>window).FirebasePlugin.onMessageReceived not fires when app is closed(cold start). If push comes with the app launched or in background the method fires correctly

Expected behavior: (<any>window).FirebasePlugin.onMessageReceived fires on iOS all conditions

Steps to reproduce:

1. this.platform.ready() 2.(window).FirebasePlugin.onMessageReceived

Send a push to app with the app closed. When taps into the notification the app is opened and not fires this method.

If: -App is opened in background mode the method fires correctly -App is opened in foreground mode the method fires correctly

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

This is still a problem.

Push notifications sent to iOS devices for which the target app is completely closed do not fire off onMessageReceived().

If I re-send the notification after the app has been loaded and then backgrounded, it works as expected.

I've tried setting the APS payload of the FCM message packet but that doesn't appear to change the outcome at all. Any debugging I've added does not seem fire off, indicating that onMessageReceived() is not called at all.

Edit: I'm creating a new ticket since I cannot re-open this issue.

Reopening as stalebot incorrectly closed it

I've found another weird behavior. After installing the app, and after the ios app asks for push notification permissions, onMessageReceived doesn't trigger.

It starts working only after you kill the app and then you reopen it (it subscribes to that observable on startup).

As if it can't receive any notification in the same session where the app request that permission... Is it solvable? Because i have a published app that has that behavior.
