iOS push notification using Sinch with Swift

Question

I am using Sinch with Swift (with bridging header) for instant messaging and I don't receive any push notification when a message is received.

I have a Development Certificate in the Sinch Dashboard.
Background modes are disabled.
Push notification work with other way (Pusher)

But when I send a sinch instant message the App Delegate's "didReceiveRemoteNotification" function never gets called.

var sinClient:SINClient?
var push:SINManagedPush?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        //Sinch Push Notification
        sinClient = Sinch.client(withApplicationKey: "-----", applicationSecret: "------", environmentHost: "sandbox.sinch.com", userId: "----")
        sinClient?.setSupportMessaging(true)
        sinClient?.enableManagedPushNotifications()
        sinClient?.delegate = self
        sinClient?.messageClient().delegate = self
        sinClient?.start()
        sinClient?.startListeningOnActiveConnection()
        self.push = Sinch.managedPush(with: SINAPSEnvironment.development)
        self.push?.delegate = self
        self.push?.setDesiredPushTypeAutomatically()
        self.push?.registerUserNotificationSettings()
}

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
        let tokenParts = deviceToken.map { data -> String in
            return String(format: "%02.2hhx", data)
        }

        let token = tokenParts.joined()
        print("Device Token: \(token)")
        self.push?.application(application, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken: deviceToken)
}

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
        self.push?.application(application, didReceiveRemoteNotification: userInfo)
    }
func managedPush(_ managedPush: SINManagedPush!, didReceiveIncomingPushWithPayload payload: [AnyHashable : Any]!, forType pushType: String!) {
        sinClient?.relayRemotePushNotification(payload)
    }

Instant Message are received only when I open the app.

you said background modes are disabled...so yes it would only be received in foreground. If you want it to happen when app is in background then you must enable **background fetch** see [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42275060/what-is-difference-between-remote-notification-and-silent-notification-in-ios/42302369#42302369) 1. Are you trying to implement Silent notifications or Remote notifications? 2. Do you know there is a new `UserNotifications` framework since iOS 10?

Hi @Honey thank you for your help, I am implementing Remote notifications for Sinch,like I said I can push notification with Pusher but Sinch which supposed to manage remote push notification doesn't push a notification when the user receive a new message (I tried to enable background fetch but it doesn't help) — Jim Derman, Jun 08 '17 at 11:33
1. Do you also have "remote notification1s" & "background fetch" enabled? If not keep them both enabled for now... 2. Additionally if you're on iOS 10...then your `didReceiveRemoteNotification` method won't get called. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/q/39382852/5175709) — mfaani, Jun 08 '17 at 14:02
@Honey 1.I try to enable "remote notification1s" & "background fetch" but it doesn't 2. `didReceiveRemoteNotification` method get called with Pusher 3.Thank you for continuing to help me — Jim Derman, Jun 08 '17 at 21:13
@Honey it gets called with Pusher but Sinch which suppose to manage the notification doesn't call the function when an instant message is received — Jim Derman, Jun 11 '17 at 11:54

Finally I found that the problem was that I used the simulator to send the message
