keeping the service running even if the app is killed iOS
currently, iOS natively doesn't have any background service like android
I am trying to send messages "Alerts" from server to mobile app built in flutter and once the app received the message it should show Notifications to the user even if it is closed or in background. I want to receive real-time notifications. I am using websocket to send the alerts from the server.
For android: I was able to create Android foreground service using the package. I was able to open websocket connection and show notification once the alert received even if the app is closed the service was able to show the notification message.
For iOS?! I want to do the same for iOS but once the app in background or closed I am not able to receive the alert from the server. How can I receive notifications even if the iOS in background or closed? If I changed the way that I use to send the notification from the server will that help (I don’t want to use cloud “FCM”)?
I noticed many apps on iOS like (outlook ,..) you can receive the notification even if the app is closed. So how can I have the same behavior?
You can't do that on iOS because there's no background service feature on iOS. One thing that might be done is to use background fetch, but background fetch does not run continuously but is executed at a certain period. Realtime notification can be done using APNS.

i am also trying to achieve this. There are apps on ios app store they are doing it like this : Tabtrader https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tabtrader/id1095716562 .
