Comments

iOS 14

Still broken in iOS 14. And yes even with the remote notifications background mode.

Apple Developer Relations just added a comment to my radar

We believe this issue is resolved in the latest iOS 11.2 beta.

Please test with the latest iOS beta. If you still have issues, please update your bug report with any relevant logs or information that could help us investigate.

Did we get any update on this ? i am getting this issue on 11.0.3 also.

Any updates?

This issue is still happening and iOS11 has been deployed to the public.

Am experiencing the same behaviour but notice the following -

When phone is plugged in silent notifications are received by the app in background and foreground mode When phone is not plugged in silent notifications are received when the app is in the foreground. However when the app is in the background there is a significant delay before the notification is 'delivered' by the OS to the app.

Am going to submit a bug report to Apple to using the sysdiagnosis tool - https://download.developer.apple.com/iOS/iOS_Logs/sysdiagnose_Logging_Instructions.pdf
