FCM and local notifications on iOS

Ionic Native
1

Hi there,
As i recently discovered, the fcm-plugins and the local-notifications-plugin dont work well together on current iOS versions.
If i have cordova-plugin-fcm and cordova-plugin-local-notification installed at the same time, the fcm notifications arent recieved in foreground.

This is, what i want to achieve:

  • App is in foreground and data-notification comes in -> raise local notification
  • App is in background and data-notification comes in -> raise local notification
  • App is not running at all and data-notification comes in -> raise local notification

As far as i know at the moment, the last topic is not possible with ionic/cordova and the available plugins.

Bu if i somehow could achieve the first two topics i would be satisfied.
Is there someone, wo got the first to topics to work on a current project?

Thank you
Skee

Send a notification to your own token using FCM to simulate a local notification.

It’s not help with scheduled notifications (for that we use local-notification)

I have found solution.
This problem occurred when cordova-plugin-local-notifications v0.9.* installed.

I have downgrade to 0.8.5 version - now FCM work and Local Notofications work.
To do this you need remove current ordova-plugin-local-notifications and add plugin from git:
“https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications.git#0.8.5”

I have create issue on cordova-plugin-local-notifications git repository. Please vote for this issue or comment to attract the attention of the plugin author

I have found now solution. I hope it helps for you.

I have installed the lates version of plugin:
“cordova plugin add https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications.git#0.9.0-beta.3”

And reinstall fcm plugin.

Now fcm and local notifications work correctly on iOS and Android

You can achieve the third point by using Ionic Native Push.
