Rich push notification with images are not showing in iOS via native and Cordova

Follow

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Airship Support.

It looks like you are experiencing issues implementing Notification Service Extension in iOS via the CocoaPods library. The error you are receiving says that "AirshipExtensions" has been deprecated, but trying the updated library, "AirshipServiceExtension", is yielding errors for you. If that is not the correct understanding, please feel free to point out where I'm mistaken.

If that is the issue, however, then it can be explained by this update changelog, found on our GitHub repo:

Version 16.2.0 January 24, 2022
* Split pod AirshipExtensions into AirshipServiceExtension and AirshipContentExtension

Since you are experiencing issues with images in a push notification, i.e. content, I would recommend you utilize both libraries, AirshipServiceExtension and AirshipContentExtension. Please let me know if that makes a difference.

Best,

Moin A.

Hello. It still doesn't show but the payload contains the GIF I added in the message in the Messages Console. This is what I have in my NotificationService.h as per documentation:

@import AirshipServiceExtension;

@interface NotificationService : UANotificationServiceExtension

@end

And this is what I have in my NotificationService.m as per documentation:

@import Foundation;

#import "NotificationService.h"

@implementation NotificationService

@end

This is what my PodFile looks like

platform :ios, '11.0'

use_frameworks!

target 'HelloCordova' do
 project 'HelloCordova.xcodeproj'
 pod 'Airship/Core'
 pod 'Airship/MessageCenter'
 pod 'Airship/Automation'
 pod 'Airship/ExtendedActions'
 pod 'Airship/PreferenceCenter'
end

target 'MyNotificationService' do
  pod 'AirshipServiceExtension'
  pod 'AirshipContentExtension'
end

I do have a Notification Service Extension with the name MyNotificationService but I didn't create a Notification Content Extension. Is that needed to show the thumbnail image and expanded image in the push notification? If so, I didn't get that understanding from the documentation.

Sorry my mistake! It's working after this change. Thank you!

Hi,

I have added AirshipNotificationServiceExtension and imported 

#import <AirshipNotificationServiceExtension/AirshipNotificationServiceExtension.h>

but still the interactive/media content is not visible in notification. 

can you guide on this?

1. • Ensure that push notifications are enabled for your app www ringtone zip in the iOS device's settings. Go to Settings > Your App > Notifications, and make sure notifications are enabled.
2.  

If rich push notifications with images are not displaying on iOS devices through native development PIFC Best fusions or Cordova (a framework for building mobile applications), you need to troubleshoot the issue from both the server-side and the app's implementation. Here are steps to diagnose and potentially resolve the problem:

At the developer conference, participants donned custom hoodies emblazoned with a pressing issue: "Rich push notification with images are not showing in iOS via native and Cordova." This sparked discussions on mobile app development and troubleshooting push notification functionalities. Developers shared insights and strategies for resolving image display issues on iOS devices, exploring solutions for both native and Cordova-based applications. The custom hoodies became symbols of collaboration and problem-solving within the developer community.
