I have updated the macos version to 15.3.1 and also tried factory resetting the device but still facing the same issue

[harsh-im]

@daniel-kane-everbridge-com have you resolved this issue?

[harsh-im]

any update?

[harsh-im]

any suggestions will be appreciated

[daniel-kane-eb]

We found that the issue was with the Mac not receiving the notification, so not to do with firebase specifically. No solution that I know of yet https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/740923

[harsh-im]

@daniel-kane-everbridge-com Thanks for the reply. is there any workaround for this issue? what you have done to fix your problem?

[MichaelVerdon]

Hey there, have you tried testing it out on iOS and maybe even Android. This could help us determine whether it is a macOS specific issue or not. @harsh-im

[harsh-im]

@MichaelVerdon Hi, I’ve used FCM notifications on the Android platform and haven’t encountered any such issues there. I’m not entirely sure about iOS, but based on the thread shared by @daniel-kane-eb, it appears to be a macOS-specific problem. Everything was working fine for me on macOS 13.6 Ventura, but I started facing this issue after upgrading to macOS 14 and later versions.

[harsh-im]

@MichaelVerdon any update on this?

[MichaelVerdon]

Hi there, when testing notifications I usually like to use the CURL command to do so. Here is an example:

curl -X POST "https://fcm.googleapis.com/v1/projects/flutterfire-e2e-tests/messages:send" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <gcloud-auth-token>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" \
-d '{
  "message": {
    "token": "<fcm-token-here>",
    "apns": {
      "headers": {
        "apns-priority": "5"
      },
      "payload": {
        "aps": {
          "content-available": 1
        }
      }
    },
    "data": {
      "type": "background_update",
      "content": "Hello from a silent push!"
    }
  }
}'

Can you try sending a notification like this or similar and tell me if its received or not? I usually have issues myself when trying to send a notification on the console but sending these has been way mroe reliable for me.

[harsh-im]

@MichaelVerdon I have tried sending notification using go's firebase sdk, I think it may be using the same API under the hood and the result of it was the same i.e. I wasn't getting notifications randomly.

Might be worth submitting a ticket there and seeing what they say. Notifications can be very odd I find but it usually works for me very well. Do you experience the same behaviour using the example app here? example app

[harsh-im]

Hey @MichaelVerdon, Currently occupied with some other stuffs, I will open the ticket there. I have not tried using the example application but my application was a very basic flutter starter app with flutterfire dependencies.
