Getting method to run in the background from remote notification - ios

I'm using Firebase Messaging (Notifications) to send push reminders to users on iOS. For my app, that is a todo app, I'm using Swift 3. When the user gets the push notification I want them to be able to complete the task right from the push notification.
Everything works almost great. The user gets the push. When they 3d-touch they see the "complete button". When the "complete button" is tapped the didReceive response method in the app is triggered in the background.
Now to the problem, in that method I'm using a closure and then a closure in that closure. For some reason the first part of the code runs in the background without the user opening the app but the last part is only running when the user opens the app again (see below). Why is that?
This is my code:
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
let userInfo = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
if response.actionIdentifier == notificationActionComplete, let actionKey = userInfo["actionKey"] as? String {
getAction(actionKey: actionKey, completion: { (action) in
action.complete {
}
})
}
completionHandler()
}
func getAction(actionKey: String, completion:#escaping (Action)->Void) {
Database.database().reference(withPath: "actions/\(actionKey)").observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in
let action = Action(snapshot: snapshot)
completion(action)
})
}
In action class:
var ref: DatabaseReference?
init(snapshot: DataSnapshot) {
key = snapshot.key
ref = snapshot.ref
//Other inits here
}
func complete(completion:#escaping (Void) -> Void) {
//This code to remove the node is running fine in background
ref.removeValue { (error, ref) in
//The code in here is not running until the user opens the app next time
otherRef.updateChildValues(self.toAnyObject(), withCompletionBlock: { (error, ref) in
completion()
})
}

Your app is basically suspended after the runloop cycle where userNotificationCenter() is called, so if your completion handler is in response to asynchronous work, that work will never happen until your app resumes again. To get around this you will probably need to begin a background task inside that function, and then have your completion handler end the background task when it is finished. This tells the system you need to stay alive for a while in the background (although it is not guaranteed, if you take too long)
See "Executing Finite Limit Tasks" at this URL (sorry, it's Obj-C, but there should be a Swift way to do it too):

Function not firing in a location triggered notifications app

I have a little app using SwiftUI and location triggered notifications.
I got started with this project as far as the location triggered notifications part is concerned.
It is already working quite well and I have notifications firing where I expect them, but there is one thing which I don't understand.
The function userNotificationCenter:didReceive:withCompletionHandler does not seem to fire at any time. This is the code for the function in case that may be useful, though it can only ring a bell for people who know the project.
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
if response.notification.request.identifier == "nyc_promenade_notification_id" {
let notificationData = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
let message = "You have reached \(notificationData["location"] ?? "your location!")"
let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Welcome!",
message: message,
preferredStyle: .alert)
alertController.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
present(alertController, animated: true)
}
completionHandler()
}
Here is some additional information.
To be precise, I first made the assumption the userNotificationCenter:didReceive:withCompletionHandler method was called at some point. Without knowing if it was to be called explicitly or in the background by some framework. But here is what I can now say:
No explicit call to the function appears in the source of my project, neither in the GitHub project which I used as a starting point.
When I want to use the debugger to catch a passing through the method, I get nothing.
I also tried to put some trace (leaving some logs in a DB) in case the function would be called while walking and entering a given area. But this also led to nothing.
As a result I am not even sure this method is called (or supposed to be called).
In the end, if it is not meant to be fired. I will still have to figure out how and where I can take some action, on entering (or leaving) a given area (i.e. circular region).
Finally, here is the function fired when I decide to set a location based notification.
func requestNotification(notificationInfo: LocationNotificationInfo) {
let notification = notificationContent(notificationInfo: notificationInfo),
destRegion = destinationRegion(notificationInfo: notificationInfo)
let trigger = UNLocationNotificationTrigger(region: destRegion, repeats: false),
request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: notificationInfo.notificationId,
content: notification, trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request) {
[weak self] (error) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self?.delegate?.notificationScheduled(error: error)
}
}
}
Having no suggestion from any expert on the matter, I decided to make "a big test".
For that I recompiled the app, commenting out the function:
/*func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
.......
}*/
To see what would happen.
The result is that the app kept working as usual. Thus showing the function was not really useful, maybe even useless, at least in the range of my testing.
I hope this will be useful to someone else facing the same question. If you know more about the issue, please comment.

Not able to perform action on push notification custom buttons

I am working on an iOS application which involves device to device push notification. In Foreground and Background state, I am able to receive notification and able to perform respective actions in respective custom buttons (ACCEPT & REJECT). Everything works fine in the two mentioned states. But in killed/terminated state, although I am able to receive notification, but I am not able to perform action on clicking custom buttons (ACCEPT & REJECT). Can you guys help me this?
//Notification action button function
func setActionCategories(){
let acceptAction = UNNotificationAction(
identifier: NAString().notificationAcceptIdentifier(),
title: NAString().accept().capitalized,
options: [.init(rawValue: 0)])
let rejectAction = UNNotificationAction(
identifier: NAString().notificationRejectIdentifier(),
title: NAString().reject().capitalized,
options: [.init(rawValue: 0)])
let actionCategory = UNNotificationCategory(
identifier: NAString().notificationActionCategory(),
actions: [acceptAction,rejectAction],
intentIdentifiers: [],
options: [.customDismissAction])
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setNotificationCategories(
[actionCategory])
}
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
let userInfo = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
//Here we are performing Action on Notification Buttons & We created this buttons in "setActionCategories" function.
if response.notification.request.content.categoryIdentifier == NAString().notificationActionCategory() {
//Created Firebase reference to get currently invited visitor by E-Intercom
var gateNotificationRef : DatabaseReference?
gateNotificationRef = GlobalUserData.shared.getUserDataReference().child(Constants.FIREBASE_CHILD_GATE_NOTIFICATION).child(userUID).child(guestType!).child(guestUID!)
//Performing accept & reject on click of recently invited visitor by E-Intercom from Notification view.
switch response.actionIdentifier {
//If Accept button will pressed
case NAString().notificationAcceptIdentifier():
gateNotificationRef?.child(NAString().status()).setValue(NAString().accepted())
}
break
//If Reject button will pressed
case NAString().notificationRejectIdentifier(): gateNotificationRef?.child(NAString().status()).setValue(NAString().rejected())
break
default:
break
}
}
UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber = 0
completionHandler()
}
Hi Ashish can you provide some code for us to better assist you. There should be a completion handler in there where you can add an action function. Then you can perform whatever you need the buttons to do.
Add the below condition in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions delegate
if launchOptions?[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey.remoteNotification] != nil {
// Do what you want to do when remote notification is tapped.
}
you can call didReceive delegate method in it.

iOS10 Background fetch

I have tried to implement background fetch, to hopefully can wake the app from time to time.
I have done these:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
application.setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval(UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum)
return true
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, performFetchWithCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
debugPrint("performFetchWithCompletionHandler")
getData()
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResult.newData)
}
func getData(){
debugPrint("getData")
}
I have also enable background fetch capabilities already. That's all i have done. And then i run the app. the function never called even after an hour (the phone slept).
What other things i have to do to make the function get called?
You have done many of the necessary steps:
Turned on "background fetch" the the "Capabilities" tab of your project;
Implemented application(_:performFetchWithCompletionHandler:);
Called setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval(_:) in application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:).
That having been said, a couple of observations:
I'd check the permissions for the app in "Settings" » "General" » "Background App Refresh". This ensures that not only did you successfully request background fetch in your plist, but that it's enabled in general, as well as for your app in particular.
Make sure you're not killing the app (i.e. by double tapping on the home button and swiping up on your app for force the app to terminate). If the app is killed, it will prevent background fetch from working correctly.
You're using debugPrint, but that only works when running it from Xcode. But you should be doing this on a physical device, not running it from Xcode. You need to employ a logging system that shows you activity even when not running the app through Xcode.
I use os_log and watch it from the Console (see WWDC 2016 Unified Logging and Activity Tracing) or use post a notification via the UserNotifications framework (see WWDC 2016 Introduction to Notifications) so I'm notified when app does something notable in the background. Or I've created my own external logging systems (e.g. writing to some text file or plist). But you need some way of observing the activity outside of print/debugPrint because you want to test this while not running it independently of Xcode. Any background-related behaviors change while running an app connected to the debugger.
As PGDev said, you don't have control over when the background fetch takes place. It considers many poorly documented factors (wifi connectivity, connected to power, user's app usage frequency, when other apps might be spinning up, etc.).
That having been said, when I enabled background fetch, ran the app from the device (not Xcode), and had it connected to wifi and power, the first background fetch called appeared on my iPhone 7+ within 10 minutes of suspending the app.
Your code isn't currently doing any fetch request. That raises two concerns:
Make sure that the test app actually issues URLSession request at some point its normal course of action when you run it (i.e. when you run the app normally, not via background fetch). If you have a test app that doesn't issue any requests, it doesn't appear to enable the background fetch feature. (Or at the very least, it severely affects the frequency of the background fetch requests.)
Reportedly, the OS will stop issuing subsequent background fetch calls to your app if prior background fetch calls didn't actually result in a network request being issued. (This may be a permutation of the prior point; it's not entirely clear.) I suspect Apple is trying to prevent developers using background fetch mechanism for tasks that aren't really fetching anything.
Note, your app doesn't have much time to perform the request, so if you are issuing a request, you might want to inquire solely whether there is data available, but not try to download all the data itself. You can then initiate a background session to start the time consuming downloads. Obviously, if the amount of data being retrieved is negligible, then this is unlikely to be a concern, but make sure you finish your request call the background completion reasonably quickly (30 seconds, IIRC). If you don't call it within that timeframe, it will affect if/when subsequent background fetch requests are attempted.
If the app is not processing background requests, I might suggest removing the app from the device and reinstalling. I've had situation where, when testing background fetch where the requests stopped working (possibly as a result of a failed background fetch request when testing a previous iteration of the app). I find that removing and re-installing it is a good way to reset the background fetch process.
For sake of illustration, here is an example that performs background fetches successfully. I've also added UserNotifications framework and os_log calls to provide a way of monitoring the progress when not connected to Xcode (i.e. where print and debugPrint no longer are useful):
// AppDelegate.swift
import UIKit
import UserNotifications
import os.log
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder {
var window: UIWindow?
/// The URLRequest for seeing if there is data to fetch.
fileprivate var fetchRequest: URLRequest {
// create this however appropriate for your app
var request: URLRequest = ...
return request
}
/// A `OSLog` with my subsystem, so I can focus on my log statements and not those triggered
/// by iOS internal subsystems. This isn't necessary (you can omit the `log` parameter to `os_log`,
/// but it just becomes harder to filter Console for only those log statements this app issued).
fileprivate let log = OSLog(subsystem: Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier!, category: "log")
}
// MARK: - UIApplicationDelegate
extension AppDelegate: UIApplicationDelegate {
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// turn on background fetch
application.setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval(UIApplicationBackgroundFetchIntervalMinimum)
// issue log statement that app launched
os_log("didFinishLaunching", log: log)
// turn on user notifications if you want them
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
return true
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
os_log("applicationWillEnterForeground", log: log)
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication, performFetchWithCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
os_log("performFetchWithCompletionHandler", log: log)
processRequest(completionHandler: completionHandler)
}
}
// MARK: - UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
extension AppDelegate: UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
os_log("willPresent %{public}#", log: log, notification)
completionHandler(.alert)
}
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
os_log("didReceive %{public}#", log: log, response)
completionHandler()
}
}
// MARK: - Various utility methods
extension AppDelegate {
/// Issue and process request to see if data is available
///
/// - Parameters:
/// - prefix: Some string prefix so I know where request came from (i.e. from ViewController or from background fetch; we'll use this solely for logging purposes.
/// - completionHandler: If background fetch, this is the handler passed to us by`performFetchWithCompletionHandler`.
func processRequest(completionHandler: ((UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void)? = nil) {
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: fetchRequest) { data, response, error in
// since I have so many paths execution, I'll `defer` this so it captures all of them
var result = UIBackgroundFetchResult.failed
var message = "Unknown"
defer {
self.postNotification(message)
completionHandler?(result)
}
// handle network errors
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
message = "Network error: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Unknown error")"
return
}
// my web service returns JSON with key of `success` if there's data to fetch, so check for that
guard
let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data),
let dictionary = json as? [String: Any],
let success = dictionary["success"] as? Bool else {
message = "JSON parsing failed"
return
}
// report back whether there is data to fetch or not
if success {
result = .newData
message = "New Data"
} else {
result = .noData
message = "No Data"
}
}
task.resume()
}
/// Post notification if app is running in the background.
///
/// - Parameters:
///
/// - message: `String` message to be posted.
func postNotification(_ message: String) {
// if background fetch, let the user know that there's data for them
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "MyApp"
content.body = message
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 1, repeats: false)
let notification = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "timer", content: content, trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(notification)
// for debugging purposes, log message to console
os_log("%{public}#", log: self.log, message) // need `public` for strings in order to see them in console ... don't log anything private here like user authentication details or the like
}
}
And the view controller merely requests permission for user notifications and issues some random request:
import UIKit
import UserNotifications
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// request authorization to perform user notifications
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.sound, .alert]) { granted, error in
if !granted {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: "Need notification", preferredStyle: .alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
self.present(alert, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
}
// you actually have to do some request at some point for background fetch to be turned on;
// you'd do something meaningful here, but I'm just going to do some random request...
let url = URL(string: "http://example.com")!
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
let alert = UIAlertController(title: nil, message: error?.localizedDescription ?? "Sample request finished", preferredStyle: .alert)
alert.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: .default, handler: nil))
self.present(alert, animated: true)
}
}
task.resume()
}
}
Background Fetch is automatically initiated by the system at appropriate intervals.
A very important and cool feature of the Background Fetch is its
ability to learn the times that should allow an app to be launched to
the background and get updated. Let’s suppose for example that a user
uses a news app every morning about 8:30 am (read some news along with
some hot coffee). After a few times of usage, the system learns that
it’s quite possible that the next time the app will run will be around
the same time, so it takes care to let it go live and get updated
before the usual launch time (it could be around 8:00 am). That way,
when the user opens the app the new and refreshed content is there
awaiting for him, and not the opposite! This feature is called usage
prediction.
For testing whether the code you wrote works properly or not, you can refer to Raywenderlich's tutorial on Background Fetch.

Keep a Firebase listener in memory when the app is in background

I have been trying to use a Firebase listener to trigger local notifications. I have found a post that addresses exactly what I am trying to do with much of it explained, however I do not have the reputation to comment on the post and there seems to be no indication of how to accomplish what I want anywhere else.
The original poster says this.
I figured it out! I had to use a different approach but i was able to
get my Firebase Database observer to trigger notifications in the
background.
As long as the object containting the database observer is not
deallocated from memory it will continue to observe and trigger. So I
created a global class which contains a static database object
property like this:
class GlobalDatabaseDelegate {
static let dataBase = DataBase()
}
This is where I am confused as to what to do for my own project. It is my understanding that I have to create a class similar to DataBase() which contains my database reference. The problem is I do not understand how to create class object that will contain the database listener.
say for example my reference is :
let userRef = FIRDatabase.database.reference().child("users")
And I want to observe any users added to the database and then trigger a local notification. I am able to write the code to do so, just not sure how to contain it in an object class of its own and then make it static.
Forgive me for being a little slow. Any help would be very much appreciated.
The rest of the post follows :
I also extended the DataBase class to be the
UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate so it can send the push notitications
like this:
extension DataBase: UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
print("Tapped in notification")
}
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
print("Notification being triggered")
completionHandler( [.alert,.sound,.badge])
}
func observeNotificationsChildAddedBackground() {
self.notificationsBackgroundHandler = FIREBASE_REF!.child("notifications/\(Defaults.userUID!)")
self.notificationsBackgroundHandler!.queryOrdered(byChild: "date").queryLimited(toLast: 99).observe(.childAdded, with: { snapshot in
let newNotificationJSON = snapshot.value as? [String : Any]
if let newNotificationJSON = newNotificationJSON {
let status = newNotificationJSON["status"]
if let status = status as? Int {
if status == 1 {
self.sendPushNotification()
}
}
}
})
}
func sendPushNotification() {
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = "Here is a new notification"
content.subtitle = "new notification push"
content.body = "Someone did something which triggered a notification"
content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default()
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "\(self.notificationBackgroundProcessName)", content: content, trigger: nil)
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: notificationBackgroundProcessName, object: nil)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request){ error in
if error != nil {
print("error sending a push notification :\(error?.localizedDescription)")
}
}
}
}
In essence I am trying to keep a firebase listener in memory when the app is in background.
So the original post that I have linked in has the answer but it is a matter of understanding it. I have also implemented my code in a slightly different approach.
I found another post detailing the technique needed to run a custom data service class. Custom Firebase Data Service Class : Swift 3
To set keep the firebase listener in memory there are few steps.
1.Create a firebase data service class. In that class I have a static variable that is of the same class
class FirebaseAPI {
var isOpen = false
static let sharedInstance = FirebaseAPI()
// I added functions for firebase reference in this class
func observeNotifications(){
//firebase call here
}
}
2.Set up notification settings in app delegate. This is where my set up differs from the original post.
let notificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.badge, .alert, .sound], categories: nil)
UIApplication.shared.registerUserNotificationSettings(notificationSettings)
3.Create a reference to the firebase class in a viewcontroller of your choice, it works in app delegate but not advisable.
let sharedInstance = FirebaseAPI.sharedInstance
4.Call functions to setup observer
self.sharedInstance.observeNotifications()
You can then trigger fire a local notification using a completion handler with the function or fire off notifications within the firebase function.
Update: Apple have implemented updates in regards to background modes which have stopped this method from working . Currently the only method is to use APNS

Local notification does not show custom action button

To test local notifications, I wrote a test app with a single view controller.
In viewDidLoad, I set up the custom action, the notification category, and the userNotificationCenter delegate.
In viewDidAppear, I set the notification content, setup a trigger that fires after 5 sec, create the notification request, and add it to the notification center.
I expect the following:
Foreground mode:
When the app is launched, it should present after 5 sec the notification in foreground. Before, the delegate function „willPresent notification“ should be called.
Background mode:
If, however, the app is put into background by pressing the home button before the trigger fires, the notification should be presented in the home screen, and the delegate function „willPresent notification“ is not called.
After the notification has been presented, the user can tap the action button.
This should bring the app into foreground, and trigger the „didReceive response“ delegate function.
What happens is:
The action button in never shown, only title and body.
When I tap the body, the delegate function „didReceive response“ is triggered using the default action identifier.
The problem:
Why is the custom action button not shown?
Here is my code:
import UIKit
import UserNotifications
class ViewController: UIViewController, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate {
let userNotificationCenter = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
let categotyId = "categoryID"
let actionID = "actionID"
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
userNotificationCenter.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert]) { (granted, error) in
if granted {
let okAction = UNNotificationAction(identifier: self.actionID,
title: "OK",
options: [])
let category = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: self.categotyId,
actions: [okAction],
intentIdentifiers: [],
options: [.customDismissAction])
self.userNotificationCenter.setNotificationCategories([category])
self.userNotificationCenter.delegate = self
} else {
print("local notifications not granted")
}
}
userNotificationCenter.removeAllPendingNotificationRequests()
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = NSString.localizedUserNotificationString(forKey: "Title", arguments: nil)
content.body = NSString.localizedUserNotificationString(forKey: "Body", arguments: nil)
content.categoryIdentifier = categotyId
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: (5), repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest.init(identifier: "requestID",
content: content,
trigger: trigger)
userNotificationCenter.add(request, withCompletionHandler: { (error) in
if let error = error {
print("Could not add notification request. Error: \(error)")
}
})
}
// MARK: - Notification Delegate
// Will be called while app is in the foreground
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
willPresent notification: UNNotification,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
// Show alert to the user
print("App in foreground. Show alert.")
completionHandler([.alert])
}
// Should be called after the user tapped the action button
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: #escaping () -> Void) {
let request = response.notification.request
let requestID = request.identifier
switch response.actionIdentifier {
case actionID:
print("Custom OK action triggered in background")
case UNNotificationDefaultActionIdentifier:
print("Default action triggered in background")
default:
print("Unknown action triggered in background, action identifier: \(response.actionIdentifier)")
}
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().removePendingNotificationRequests(withIdentifiers: [requestID])
completionHandler()
}
}
Sorry for my question, but maybe somebody else has the same problem:
I simply did not know that first, only title/body is displayed:
However, I was not aware of the thin grey bar below the body. If this bar is pulled down, the custom action button appears:
Update: As of iOS 10 beta 2, rich notifications are also available on pre-3D touch devices. Pull down on the regular notification to see it.
Make sure you are testing on a iPhone6s/iPhone6s plus simulator/device, it doesn't seem to work on pre-3D touch devices.
On a iPhone6 simulator, try to click and drag down on the stock notification you get and you should see your custom UI appear.
