One of my application stop receiving the voip notification from last week.
As per recent IOS documentation, "Repeatedly failing to report calls may prevent your app from receiving any more incoming call notifications." so in this case ,
1) How can we find out wether my app stop receiving any more incoming call notifications? is this data will present anywhere in any console?
2) what needs to be do for receiving the voip again?
Now i have updated my code base as per the documentation but still i am not getting any Voip notification.
I had the same problem, Try to reinstall the app.

While working with APNS, I was able to have push notifications work flawlessly while device is online.
For any APNS push I send while device is offline, only the last one is received once the device is back online. This seems to be coherent with Apple's Store-and-Forward design.
However - I did notice, that when sending WhatsApp messages to an offline device, once this device goes online it receives all push notifications (one for each message). This is not something based on collapse identifier, but rather independent push notification for each message.
So how did WhatsApp do it?
Tried using Notification Extension and attempt to post multiple local notifications, but this also fails as extensions are not allowed to do that.
Instead of a normal push notification, use a Background Notification, which will not show anything visible, but wake up your app in background. Use this event, to make api call, get relevant data and generate multiple local notifications.
Note the following from the documentation when you implement application(_:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:) :
system calls this method when your app is running in the foreground or background
system does not automatically launch your app if the user has force-quit it
you must call the block in the handler parameter (fetchCompletionHandler) or your app will be terminated. Your app
has up to 30 seconds of wall-clock time to process the notification
and call the specified completion handler block
Apps that use significant amounts of power when processing remote notifications may not always be woken up early to process future
notifications
Please read relevant documentation completely before making ANY assumptions about how you think this should work.
Recently Apple changed its way of handling VoIP notifications. Now they force you to use CallKit in the same run loop in order not to throw your notification away. The trace I get is this one
Apps receving VoIP pushes must post an incoming call (via CallKit or IncomingCallNotifications) in the same run loop as pushRegistry:didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload:forType:[withCompletionHandler:] without delay.
When you get this warning three times, the system is "dropping your notifications on the floor".
The problem here is that I'm developing a hybrid VoIP app using the phonegap-plugin-push, and I'm afraid that the on notification event is not fast enough (or at least not the same run loop) for iOS.
Did anyone face this issue?
I've thought of changing to regular push notifications, but I can't find a way to make my app relaunch when it's killed and execute some code (launch CallKit, for example).
Edit:
I'm trying this approach with push notifications and I already configured the background modes. I noticed that sending the "content-available" and some data, like "badge", or "alert" in the notification, the app is launched if it went to background recently. After 15 minutes in the background the push notification arrives but the app doesn't launch anymore
Thank you in advance.
Our app uses CallKit and push notifications, and it launches when a push notification arrives for a new incoming call. It has to be configured in the project build and run once to register with iOS for this, though.
I found a solution:
Since iOS changed its policy about handling voip push notifications, it forces you to report a new incoming call when receiving the voip: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/117939
This plugin does it: https://github.com/mattkhaw/cordova-plugin-callkit
It merges two plugins (WebsiteBeaver/CordovaCall and Hitman666/cordova-ios-voip-push). It worked for me. I just had to remove the receiveCall from the javascript and tweak a little bit the plugin.
The methods related to the voip notifications register are in the cordovaCall class, so it is pretty straightforward to work with.
I am using FCM notification for my app. When my app is in background or foreground I am receiving notification. But when my app is terminated that means closed from task then I am not receiving any notification. I searched about this and I am confused is it work when the app is terminated? I just need to know is it work or not when the app is terminated.
If it works when the app is terminated then I will go for next step for my app otherwise I will stop my implementation that's why I am not sharing any code. I followed this link
Beware with fcm on iOS, there are 2 ways of sending and receiving data; one is upstream/downstream messages the other is the push notifications. If you are using upstream/downstream messages the fcm connection is closed after the app is suspended, new messages will not wake your app. You may use push notifications instead but of course the downside is that they are push notifications you don't have much control over them.
The first solution I can think of for the incoming call notification is Apple's Push Notification service. However, it is not guaranteed.. there's a relatively high chance it may get lost.. and in a VoIP app, the incoming call notification is so important that I can't afford to miss it too often...
Thus, I followed the tips and enabled the Background Mode to keep the app alive and listening to any incoming call invite. By right, I should just show local notification when the app gets the incoming call invite. This works pretty well when the app is in background/inactive. HOWEVER, when user kills the app manually, no code will get executed, so the app won't get any incoming call invite in such a condition... And because of this particular scenario, I still have to rely on remote push notification.
What I'm trying to achieve is.. waiting for remote notification first, if it arrives, then do not show local notification anymore. If it's lost, then show local notification so that user will always get notified.
The problem is... I have no way to tell if a remote notification has arrived.
I want to know what is the best practice to handle incoming call notifications for a VoIP app?
From appleDoc Apple Developer Docs. (Updated link)
In iOS 8 and later, voice-over-IP (VoIP) apps register for UIRemoteNotificationTypeVoIP push notifications instead of using this method. Using push notifications eliminates the need for a timeout handler to check in with the VoIP service. Instead, when a calls arrives for the user, the VoIP service sends a VoIP push notification to the user’s device. Upon receiving this notification, the device launches or wakes the app as needed so that it can handle the incoming call.
Just play a very long duration audio when a APNS comes.
I'm building an app that plugs into a third-party service that will send messages to the iOS device. So far I've been unable to find any documentation on then starting off a push notification when the delegate method is fired to say that a new message has been received.
So far, I've got the app registering to receive push notifications and the delegate method firing, I'm just not sure how to connect the two together?
The app will have a minimum deployment of iOS 5.1 if that helps.
This is not how remote notifications work. Their main purpose is to notify application about some event. So application only receives remote notifications and note send them. So scenario is:
App is notified via
application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: //if running
or
application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: //if closed
According to notification payload you determine what exact action you need to perform. For example notification says that a new message was sent to the user. Then you need to send your custom request to the your server and get that new message.
I've discovered that in this case it is not push notifications that I want but local notifications instead.
