Support for iOS 9 and WKWebView update

[andrehtissot]

Yes, it is. You need to add the capability to the app. Apple's reasoning. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/pushing_background_updates_to_your_app

The main issue is the maintenance effort due to having a different handling of Push than iOS 10 up.

And to be honest, it's been outdated for a long time and unsupported by apple by now (https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/supported-iphone-models-iphe3fa5df43/ios https://www.statista.com/chart/5824/ios-iphone-compatibility/).

If it is still required, I'll see how I can bring that back.

The problem is related to the recent needs of use the WKWebView instead of UiWebView. If we still use the 4.6.0 version in order to work with ios 9 we can't publish the app on the app store because this version refers to UiWebView.

[andrehtissot]

Yes, I understand. I'll try to come up with something fast to allow you to publish, and later bring the support back so you can enjoy the newer features.

@andrehtissot thanks a lot! :-)

[andrehtissot]

The fast fix was implemented as v4.6.4. Let me know if you face any issues.

@andrehtissot thanks a lot, I'll try it and I'll give you a feedback.

Hi @andrehtissot , I'm trying to use the version 4.6.4 on ios 9, in the console I get this log message:

You've implemented -[<UIApplicationDelegate> application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:], but you still need to add "remote-notification" to the list of your supported UIBackgroundModes in your Info.plist.

There's something that I need to do or just ignore it ?

Please reopen the issue, or create a new more specific one. As I might not see your comment on closed ones.

Yes, it is. You need to add the capability to the app. Apple's reasoning. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/pushing_background_updates_to_your_app

Although, this change in configuration is automatically applied in newer version of the plugin.
