Receiving Push Notifications issue while in background

Avatar

I have already followed below setting
http://docs.urbanairship.com/platform/ios.html#push

and also can receive push notifications but cannot get any delegate to be called when the app is in the background - receivedBackgroundNotification is not called.

-Here's our code:
(void)receivedBackgroundNotification:(NSDictionary *)notification fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler {
// App received a background notification
NSLog(@"receivedBackgroundNotification fetchCompletionHandler");
// Call the completion handler
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResultNoData);
}

Didn't find what you were looking for?

    I have use the SDK version 7.0.2 to do the implementation. Is it any bug about receiving background notification in this version? Or anything else I can do to fix the issue?

    Hello,

    Do you have an App Key and Device Id I could take a look at?

    Also, have you taken a look at our iOS Background Push Troubleshooting Documentation?

    Thank you,

    Yes, I also try to open a new APP id and just send one push for testing to prevent below issue.

    "Background time is not guaranteed"

    But the result is the same.

    Here's the info for your reference

    DEVICE ID: 61138a2212227c126cc9d96b91d9b38a20830c6a
    APP KEY: u1E0J65WScKT5CC1dKVmCQ

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,

    If you are looking to handle push notifications I would recommend that you implement a custom push handler that conforms to the "UAPushNotificationDelegate" protocol. We have an iOS Integration Best Practices Knowledge Base Article that explains how you can do this.

    If you must expose the "receivedBackgroundNotification" method, you will need to manually integrate our SDK into your app. To do this, you must ensure that you set "automaticSetupEnabled" to NO in your AirshipConfig.plist or UAConfig object. You will also need to expose a number of additional methods in your AppDelegate class and include some code in these methods to ensure that our SDK correctly handles push notifications. Our documentation on Automatic Integration details the methods that you need to include.

     Kind Regards,

    I had the same issue.  I found that when composing a message I needed to turn on the "Background Processing: Send content-available flag to device to wake app for processing." in order to hook this event.
