Pushkit and content-available

Question

if I'm using pushkit to notifier the phone that a new call has been received, do I have to use content-available tag inside payload? Or not? Because using this, it seems that app is not relaunched always instantaneously sometimes

Answer 1

PushKit notifications do not need any special value in the payload to launch your app in the background. Only remote notifications (supported by the UserNotification framework) require the content-available flag to be set to 1 . You can find the payload key guide here .

If you're using PushKit for VoIP services, you must have enabled Background Modes and checked "Voice over IP" in the Capabilities section for your project. It looks like this option is missing in Xcode 9 but others have reported that adding it manually to the Info.plist fixes the issue.
