I'm trying to provide custom localized descriptions for the iOS notification permission popup in my app, which supports multiple locales. To achieve this, I'm using InfoPlist.strings files per locale with the following keys: NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription NSUserTrackingUsageDescription The issue I'm facing is that NSUserTrackingUsageDescription is working correctly across all tested locales, but NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription only works for some locales. Locales tested: Working: ja, tr, fr-CA Not working: fr-BE, nl-BE In each case, the correct localized NSUserTrackingUsageDescription appears, but the NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription falls back to the default or does not appear as expected in fr-BE and nl-BE. I'm using Xcode 16 and testing on both iOS 18 simulator and physical devices, and the issue is consistent across both. Any insights on whether this is a known issue in iOS or if there are additional steps needed for NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription to localize properly would be greatly appreciated.

I've added a Notification Service Extension as a target to my React Native iOS app following Apple's official documentation. After completing all the setup steps as outlined in the documentation, the notification titles remain unchanged - notifications are arriving without any modifications, suggesting the extension isn't functioning properly.Testing Details: Sending notifications via Apple Push Notification Console Tested on iPhone 16 Pro Max (physical device) Tested on iPhone 15 Pro simulator Both show the same issue - no title modifications The extension appears to not be executing at all. Has anyone encountered similar issues with Notification Service Extensions in React Native projects, or can suggest troubleshooting steps to verify the extension is properly configured and running?

Hello Apple Support Team, We are using auto-renew plans in our app We have set the webhook URL in our App Store Connect account to get the Store server notification to get the auto renew data for an user The issue is when a user purchases any auto-renew plan at the auto-renew time, we are getting null data from the Apple side. We have printed the log's data to check what data are coming from the Apple webhook. we have attached our logs data please check it and let me know what can we do to resolve this

Hello, I'm using 'App Store Server Notifications V2'. I have a question about 'CONSUMPTION_REQUEST' notification in 'notificationType'. I was wondering if there would be any impact on refunds if I received this notification and didn't respond. (Always refund etc..)

I have converted a large part of the data, but only 5% of the data was successfully converted. The failed devicetoken shows "bad devicetoken" when accessing APNS. Here are examples of failed conversions devicetoken. Is there any official documentation for this part? DeviceToken Orgin \xc2\xa1\xcb\x9cr\xc3\x81\xe2\x80\x9e\x01b\xc3\xbce1pf\t\xc2\xa7\xc3\x82v}\xc3\xa1\xc3\x9a:?\r\n\xc3\xa5\xc6\x92\xc3\xb7y\xc3\x9e\xe2\x80\x9c\xc3\x89r

There's a list of bug reports: FB19778882 FB19813796 FB19852724 FB19767262 FB20378888 FB20379383 FB20394663 Me and many other users have issue with push notifications. To reproduce this you should do this steps: Lock iPhone and make it idle for 10+ minutes; Send any message from other device via third-party app that uses push notifications (WhatsApp, Telegram and etc.); After few attempts you can see, that messages don't deliver. They delivers immediately when I unlock iPhone or go to the app. This bug reproduces on iOS 18.7 and 27. As I think iPhone goes to deep sleep after 10+ minutes after it locked and don't get push notifications. I've tried everything: many of settings, DFU without backup, but nothing helps to resolve this issue. Pay attention, please, cause this bug is very annoying and present on iOS 18.7 (that is the last for many devices) and latest iOS 26. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm developing a custom Apple Wallet pass using a Django backend and exposing my local server through ngrok during development. For the first ~30 minutes, everything works exactly as expected: the pass registers correctly, silent push notifications trigger instant updates, Wallet immediately performs the GET request to fetch the new .pkpass, and the changeMessage displays almost instantly on the lock screen. At some point, however, the pass stops updating entirely. Apple APNs continues to return 200 OK for every silent push I send, but the device never performs the required GET /v1/passes// call to download the updated pass. As a result, even the internal content of the pass (ex: points/balance fields) no longer updates, which confirms that Wallet is not fetching the new .pkpass at all. No changeMessage appears either. This behavior has been described informally by other developers as Apple Wallet Pass Update Throttling, where the Wallet daemon begins ignoring silent pushes after repeated updates or certain internal conditions. I’m trying to confirm whether this is indeed throttling, what triggers it, and how to avoid it during development.

Hi Apple Support team, I would like to inform you that we were receiving push notifications to all regions. Recently we were facing push notifications are not receiving to brazil region. For all other regions we are receiving. We are using same APSN certificate. Any region specific permissions do we need to add. Please let me know. Thanks.

How do i add the red bubble badge notification on the app for unread in app messages

Approx Dec 13th 2025 til now (Dec 29th) I noticed my APNS dropped off to nothing daily. When I try to send APNS alerts on the developer site tool it always returns "discarded as device was offline" for multiple devices which I know are online. When I try pushing through my VPS (as I always have without any code changes for months) I get status codes of 400 and 403 mostly and a few 200's without it delivering also. I created a new sandbox certificate just in case it was that but still no luck, I get the same results. Ive checked for any firewall issues and I see the following on my VPS: nslookup gateway.push.apple.com Server: 1.1.1.1 Address: 1.1.1.1#53 ** server can't find gateway.push.apple.com: NXDOMAIN This seems like a second issue but not the primary issue that the portal is reporting. Any ideas what to check? Im at a loss as to why its not working at all through apples test notification portal on my developer account. It seems thats the initial issue I need to solve. Thank you for any ideas/help

Hello. I'm currently implementing Apple Notification v2 to prepare for refunds for in-app purchases, but I'm not receiving requests from Apple servers to my backend server. I've applied HTTPS (TLS 1.2) and correctly registered production/sandbox notification URLs on App Store Connect. After requesting a test notification, when I check the status of testNotificationToken, I receive an UNSUCCESSFUL_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE as follows: {"signedPayload":"......":[{"atteptDate":1752128001970,"sendAttemptResult":"UNSUCCESSFUL_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE"}]} The endpoint for receiving notifications is set to accept POST requests with application/json format, and it responds with 200 (OK) without any content. However, Apple notifications are not coming through. Could anyone help me with this issue?

Dear Apple! During WWDC24 you announced that ONE_TIME_CHARGE notification is available on the sandbox environment and will be available "it will be available in production later this year" - it's March 2025 and there is still no production release of this feature. Could you share some timeline and plans for when we can expect that feature deployed to production? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, May I please ask for an official clarification or documentation reference from Apple regarding this scenario: Is it possible for an iOS app to automatically launch or open a specific screen when a push notification is received — while the app is in the background or terminated (killed) state? I understand that for most cases, user interaction (such as tapping the notification) is required before the app can show UI. However, I’d like to confirm whether this is also true for time-sensitive or critical alert notifications, including emergency use cases (e.g. public safety alerts). Specifically: Can a critical alert notification directly launch the app or present a view controller? Or is user interaction always required before the app can present any UI, even with the critical alert entitlement? I would appreciate if anyone — especially Apple staff or engineers — could share an official Apple document or statement that confirms this behavior. Thank you very much! (Use case context: I’m developing an emergency broadcast feature for a property management / tenant app.)

I have a messaging app that has been working successfully for several years. It still works for most users, but about one month ago one of my users started experiencing issues receiving notifications. From my investigation, the user's Notification Service Extension (NSE) has not been triggered since they started reporting the issue. I was able to access the user's phone and connected it to the console to check for any logs related to the NSE being triggered or a push notification being received, but there were no relevant logs. I have already verified that notifications are enabled for the app and that Do Not Disturb is not active. I also tried sending a test notification using the CloudKit Console. The notification was successfully delivered to other push notification tokens, but it did not work for this specific device’s token. I have also confirmed that the push token on the server matches the one on the device and that it is being used with the APNs production environment. The issue for this user started in iOS version 26.2 and are still ongoing in version 26.3.1 . Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have suggestions on how to further diagnose this?

In macOS, how can I use UnmutableNotificationContent notifications to prevent the main window from activating when clicking the notification? code： import Cocoa import UserNotifications // Mandatory import for notification functionality class ViewController: NSViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Automatically request permissions and send a test notification when the view loads sendLocalNotification() } /// Core method to send a local notification func sendLocalNotification() { let notificationCenter = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() // 1. Request notification permissions (Mandatory step; user approval required) notificationCenter.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge]) { [weak self] isGranted, error in guard let self = self else { return } // Handle permission request errors if let error = error { print("Permission request failed: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } // Exit if user denies permission if !isGranted { print("User denied notification permissions; cannot send notifications") return } // 2. Construct notification content using UNMutableNotificationContent let notificationContent = UNMutableNotificationContent() notificationContent.title = "Swift Notification Test" // Notification title notificationContent.subtitle = "macOS Local Notification" // Optional subtitle notificationContent.body = "This is a notification created with UNMutableNotificationContent" // Main content notificationContent.sound = .default // Optional notification sound (set to nil for no sound) notificationContent.badge = 1 // Optional app icon badge (set to nil for no badge) // 3. Set trigger condition (here: "trigger after 3 seconds"; can also use time/calendar triggers) let notificationTrigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger( timeInterval: 3, // Delay in seconds repeats: false // Whether to repeat (false = one-time only) ) // 4. Create a notification request (requires a unique ID for later cancellation if needed) let notificationRequest = UNNotificationRequest( identifier: "SwiftMacNotification_001", // Unique identifier content: notificationContent, trigger: notificationTrigger ) // 5. Add the request to the notification center and wait for triggering notificationCenter.add(notificationRequest) { error in if let error = error { print("Notification delivery failed: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { print("Notification added to queue; will trigger in 3 seconds") } } } } }

I’m getting calls from Pakistan every hour. I cant block them because it’s a different number every time. I have downloaded the new beta version of the upcoming software update and it allows you to set to ask a question before unknown callers ring through. It’s not working and my phone is constantly ringing. I can’t block unknown callers as I use my phone for work. How can I silence ringing from calls specifically from Pakistan Using the country code?

Background: The project was created in Xcode 5, then recreated in new Xcode. Before migration, push notifications worked without issues, after migration device token stopped being extracted. Problem: iOS app registers for push notifications, but didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken or didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError methods are not being called. Current situation: App is registered for push notifications (isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications = true) Notification permissions are granted Entitlements are configured correctly (aps-environment: development) Bundle ID: com.autoserviceonline.app Team: BUSINESSVISION COMPANY, TOO (NS3FSG45V7) But callback methods are not being called What I've already tried: Deleted and recreated all App IDs in Apple Developer Portal Cleared Xcode cache and derived data Created new APNs certificates and provisioning profiles Removed "ghost" certificate from Keychain Access Problem persists Additional information: Also noticed that Push Notifications Console opens non-existent project "BV.TestSwiftData" with Personal Team instead of current corporate App ID com.autoserviceonline.app. These issues might be related to project migration from old Xcode. Request: Why iOS doesn't call callback methods for device token, although registration was successful?
