Implement iOS 13 updates

[zek]

In order to send VOIP push notifications we need to set
$this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE] = 'voip';

[angvp]

I've tried adding that on Request.php but it also needs to be set

$this->headers[self::HEADERS_APNS_TOPIC] == bundleId."voip"

When I'm doing the auth I know I'm sending that header but I can't retrieve it from Request.php (I don't know how, I've tried multiple stuff).. so what I did waws, a sort of a hack, sending a customValue (from my app) on the payload, and updating Request.php with the following code

// new header required to support iOS 13
        $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE] = 'alert';
        $payload = $notification->getPayload();
        try {
            $apnsTopic = $payload->getCustomValue(self::HEADER_APNS_TOPIC);
        } catch (InvalidPayloadException $e) {
        }
        if ($notification->getPayload()->isContentAvailable()) {
            $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE] = 'background';
        }
        if (isset($apnsTopic) && !empty($apnsTopic)) {
            $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_TOPIC] = $apnsTopic;
            $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE] = 'voip';
        }

But I know this is not ideal, and we might just recover that value (appBundleId) from the headers and then we might add a validation if strpos($appBundleId, 'voip') then we can set $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE] = 'voip'

I would like to work in a patch, but I'm trying to understand the codebase and why that header is "lost" after the authentication :/

[edamov]

But can we check if HEADER_APNS_TOPIC exists, then add HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE=void?

if ($notification->getPayload()->isContentAvailable()) {
    $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE] = 'background';
} elseif (isset($this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_TOPIC]))
    $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_PUSH_TYPE] = 'voip';
}

@edamov I'll try this today and I'll let you know if it works. Thanks!

[angvp]

Hmm I think I misunderstood you, how come I can have $this->headers[self::HEADER_APNS_TOPIC] with the value of the bundleId."voip" ? automatically, as this is being sent when we authenticate against apple api?

[edamov]

Seems now I understand what do you mean 😃
Request class is not accessible. We need to improve Request class with the code I wrote above.
Will it make sense? Can you create PR?

[angvp]

Ok I will create the PR with this code, although I will create a branch with the modifications I need to make it work on my project, then after when everything is upstream I'll point to that branch.

Thanks!

[angvp]

I made a PR: #91 that will solve the voip part.

[edamov]

Thanks!
I just found there are much more push types like mdm, fileprovider, complication.
It is very good that it is possible now to set them

I tried to send voip push notifications, but apparently this package doesn't automatically add a .voip suffix to the bundle id.

voip
...
If you set this push type, the apns-topic header field must use your app’s bundle ID with .voip appended to the end.

Apparently, we can close this issue along with this one #97
