Local Notifications Only (no push)

Questions
#1

Hello,

It seems to be possible to do local notifications (notifications triggered by the app itself without using a server), but I don’t know if I will still need to setup the complete Push Notifications system for Android and Apple in order for local notifications to work?

thanks

Did you try without setting it up? I’m not 100% sure but I believe local notifications should work without it.

#3

I did very quickly try and it didn’t work. I thought to ask first before ‘really’ trying.

I’ll try the example app that is included with the extension in order to test.

thanks

Ok, and you did test on mobile right?

#5

I took a quick look at the code and it looks like it should work.

#6

Yes I did test on mobile (iOS only). But it was very quick, I was just wondering if it would work. I’ll try again.

thanks

Not sure if it’s still the case, but back in the day on iOS, if your app was in focus while a local notification would be triggered, the notification wouldn’t be shown to the user (your app’s code would get a message though)
