Issue with iOS app notifications?

Apps & Services iOS App

This one is weird, has anyone stopped receiving notifications in their iOS app?
I’m on the iOS v 18.0.1 and I just noticed that I haven’t been receiving notifications.
They are reaching my OpenHAB.org, but the app isn’t loading them.

I have a basic rule that I run, to broadcast a notification with test. That’s all it does. And I get nothing on the app. The banner on the bottom does pop up but not the ui notification at the top.

For a while I had both the legacy app and the new one and I even had two notifications. Now I deleted both, installed each one individually and none give me notifications…

Anyone able to point me in a general troubleshooting direction? It definitely feels like it’s iOS borking here because I can see the notifications in the cloud instance.

Oops forgot the rule code:

configuration: {}
triggers: []
conditions: []
actions:
  - id: "1"
    configuration:
      message: Test
    type: notification.SendBroadcastNotification

Hi… do you try to send the notification manually via the device page openHAB Cloud - Log in ?

Huh. No I did not, let me try that…
I did not know about that, and yep it does work, curiously enough. But if I trigger the rule from the app it doesn’t trigger the notification .
Edit: remembered the ios app has a notification menu. the notifications appear there too!

Edit 2: oh found something interesting. If it’s from the browser the notification pops up. But if I have the app open and I run the rule from it then it doesn’t. Is this the expected behavior?

I think this is a general iOS function and I think I found this also in other apps. If an app is open, the iOS notification center do not push any notifications via “popup” of the current app, because “normally” there are notification indicator (small bubbles with counter) in the app, and you will see it directly. So I think this is not a openHAB app problem… But I could also be wrong :slight_smile:

Ahhhhh that would make sense. Swear to god, I hate Apple.
Okay understood, if this behavior continues then at least I can understand it, thank you!
