I have a strange case. My swift ios app is connected to Cloudkit. If the app is NOT running (background state), I receive my notifications badge and alert just fine, every time! If the app is running, no notifications are received! I know it is not hitting the remote because I do this: 1. Adding a breakpoint to the didReceiveRemoteNotification event 2. Running xcode in a plugged iphone 3. NSLog("detected didReceiveRemoteNotification"), so final code look like this
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]){
NSLog("detected didReceiveRemoteNotification")
}
I know the error is not coming from cloudkit or from APNS because I do receive alert banner and badge when the phone is in the background state.
Can you guide me to set this up properly for the Foreground state!?
I am running ios v9.3
UPDATE #1 I think the wording of the documentation is poor. It clearly says that both run on the foreground, which is what I cared about; nevertheless, the fix is more accurate than the documentation!
See Question&Answers more detail:osUnlike the application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: method, which is called only when your app is running in the foreground, the system calls this method when your app is running in the foreground or background.
