Firebase push notifications not working for production on iOS

Question

I integrated Firebase Messaging SDK into my iOS project, created a push notification certificate for development and one for production, uploaded both p12 keys to Firebase and I do not receive the notifications, but just for development.

The code for registration is good, and it is the same I used for usual APNS, which worked fine.

The same behaviour happens for 3 applications.

Did someone else encounter this problem? Do you have any solutions or suggestions?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Apparently there is an error in the Firebase documentation. When you exporting the APN certificate for production from your keychain to the .p12 file you have to select the actual certificate, not the private key.

Make sure you upload to the Firebase console this .p12 file in the Cloud Messaging APN certificate settings.

Swift 4.0

Also make sure you're using:

Messaging.messaging().setAPNSToken(deviceToken as Data, type: .prod)

inside:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {

    #if DEVELOPMENT
        //Develop
        Messaging.messaging().setAPNSToken(deviceToken as Data, type: .sandbox)
    #else
        //Production
        Messaging.messaging().setAPNSToken(deviceToken as Data, type: .prod)
    #endif

}
