Problem marking Apple Push-Notificaton as "mutable-content" for increasing the app-icon-badge count
I was able to set up Push-Notifications via Appwrite function for my iOS App. I now wanted to increase the Badge count everytime the user gets a notifcation. Using the "Push Notification Service Extension" seems to be a common way to do it. I stumbled across the problem to mark the Notification with the payload " "mutable-content":1 " as mentioned here: https://medium.com/@jpmtech/push-notification-service-extension-in-swift-b1a0b68051d6
This is the code of creating the Push-notification mentioned here: https://appwrite.io/docs/references/cloud/server-nodejs/messaging
TypeScript
ID.unique(),
title,
body,
undefined,
recipients,
undefined,
{
key : "xxxx"
},
undefined, // action
undefined, // image
undefined, // icon
"default", // sound
undefined, // Color
undefined, // tag
undefined, // badge
false,
undefined, // scheduledAt
true, // contentAvailable
false,
MessagePriority.Normal
)```
I was thinking the "contentAvailable" input-parameter would do the trick, but it does not. Any idea? With the Appwrite UI i can't even set this option, when creating a Message.
I am able to work with the notifications send via the Apple Push Notification Center, but I am having troubles with the ones sending from my appwrite-function. How do I know? The function in swift would modifying the title of the notification, when it is marked correctly.
TL;DR
Developers are struggling to mark Apple Push Notifications as "mutable-content" for increasing the app-icon-badge count. The issue arises from utilizing the Appwrite function for iOS app notifications. The "Push Notification Service Extension" seems to be the solution, but the "contentAvailable" input parameter is not working as expected. In the provided code block, the specific parameter for badge count is missing. To manage notifications effectively, developers need to ensure the correct marking and payload modification in their Swift code.
