Token generated on iOS is similar to Android token. Cannot received push notification.

[gautambjain]

On iOS, the token generated is of below format:

csxgLoBcFkCLgJ7xTe1YML:APA91bFJi7WXJh_-0nRXTlDvy_RRh1KY_vD3s58ScMKzcD-VIGcZ4tNX6sq9KSOJPB2YWsecPzHRchUufqeBa9mSMPYBXxeIYEHjEr9frHG8ip_QiAPmxP9dwwFyo9HO3_mSS9H4IhD5

Due to this, I don't receive push notification on NotificationReceived.

So I disabled TokenChanged and wrote my own handler like below in AppDelegate:

[Export("application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:")]
public void RegisteredForRemoteNotifications(UIApplication application, NSData deviceToken)

[Export("application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:")]
public void  DidReceiveRemoteNotification(UIApplication application, NSDictionary userInfo, Action<UIBackgroundFetchResult> completionHandler)

In order to register for remote notifications, I called:

UIApplication.SharedApplication.RegisterForRemoteNotifications();

After making the above changes, token generated in below format

512AE6E911F52E3D1EB76D8790AA3B327C9106A65F54D1DE6A18A6751E0BA7FB

And I started receiving push notifications.

I am sharing my experience here so that you can point out what am I missing. These look like bugs. And if you think I am using Plugin.Firebase the wrong way, then kindly show the way please.

Is what you've done here not covered in https://github.com/AdamEssenmacher/GoogleApisForiOSComponents/blob/main/docs/Firebase/CloudMessaging/GettingStarted.md?

I am using Plugin.Firebase, which I believe have implemented as per the link you shared. My belief is that Plugin.Firebase covers the internals of your iOS components. That's what I see from the source code (Plugin.Firebase).

I am receiving token but of different format (very similar to Android token) on iOS. Why would that be?

[AdamEssenmacher]

Plugin.Firebase is just a cross-platform wrapper over the .NET binding libraries for each platform, which themselves are just wrappers around the native Firebase libraries.

Plugin.Firebase does not configure your platform projects for you.

UIApplication.SharedApplication.RegisterForRemoteNotifications();

@gautambjain may i know detailed about code changed that you've write to receive token like you've got?
thank you

[gautambjain]

@suariana - It is hard to recollect the exact changes I made to fix this.

But I know that I reverted back the old methods of receiving push notifications. I had just installed Plugin.Firebase so that the require pre-requisites are installed. As Adam said above, we have do manually do the configuration in the code to receive the push notifications in the lines of:

[Export("application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:")]
[Export("application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:")]
