WORKING IN SWIFT/XCODE I have a messaging app with observers connected to Firebase. When a new messages comes into Firebase, I want the app to send a local push notification to the iPhone.

Currently, when a new message comes in and the app is in the foreground, the notification is firing. However, when the app is in the background, the observer/notification are not firing. How do I make the notifications continue when the app is in the background?

You can't. Use a push notification to wake up your app process to check for changes. – Doug Stevenson Jun 22 '19 at 23:21
So how do all other chats apps send push notifications when users get a new message? What is the easiest way to implement that? – nicksarno Jun 23 '19 at 02:27
