push notification appearing in Xcode output but not showing on actual phone - ios

Question

I am currently working on setting up Firebase push notifications with the console and with Firebase functions. I went through the documentation that was available on github to get everything setup, but for some reason nothing appears on my actual phone that I am testing it on, not the simulator. When I send a push notification from my Firebase console to my phone the message appears in my console, but there's no sound or banner that comes down wether i'm in my phone or not. This is the code I have in my app delegate.
import UIKit
import Firebase
import FirebaseMessaging
import UserNotifications
import FBSDKCoreKit
import Stripe
#UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
let gcmMessageIDKey = "gcm.message_id"
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
FIRApp.configure()
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
// For iOS 10 display notification (sent via APNS)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
let authOptions: UNAuthorizationOptions = [.alert, .badge, .sound]
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(
options: authOptions,
completionHandler: {_, _ in })
// For iOS 10 data message (sent via FCM)
FIRMessaging.messaging().remoteMessageDelegate = self
} else {
let settings: UIUserNotificationSettings =
UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.alert, .badge, .sound], categories: nil)
application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
}
application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self,
selector: #selector(self.tokenRefreshNotification),

Answer 1

You need to pass 'UNNotificationPresentationOptions' in completion handler like this in 'willPresent notification' delegate method
completionHandler([.alert, .badge, .sound])
Thanks

Answer 2

Probably the app is running foregrounded, try to put the app in the background and try again. Check the settings of iPhone to see if banners are disabled for your app. Or if you are sending a silent push. Good luck.
