When I send multiple notifications to Apple or Android devices through MFP, Apple devices will display all notifications in the notifications center on the other hand Android will only display one last notification. We are using Unicast Notification to send messages to user devices using this REST API.
Initially my issue got fixed when I implemented solution given in this thread.
But after upgrading to MFP 7.1.0.00.20151227-1725 I started facing the issue again.
It it a known limitation that the attribute gets removed from the file upon re-build, since a re-build re-generates the file...
You need to add it back after a re-build. It is scheduled to be enhanced in the future so this won't be needed.
For now you can use for example an Ant task to replace the wlclient.properties file post-build with a version that contains again the attribute.

When attempting to implement Firebase Cloud Messaging into my application, I am receiving the following error at runtime:
I am receiving an FCM token, so it appears to be establishing a connection with firebase. I have read many suggestions on what the problem could be, many seem to indicate that there is a problem with my provisioning profile not allowing push notifications. I have checked these settings under "Signing & Capabilities" and it appears that the profile allows for push notifications, and has the aps-environment value in the entitlements section:
Is there something else I'm missing?
Here is my development environment:
macOS 10.15 (Catalina)
Xcode 11.5
iPad Air 2 (test deployment device)
I finally found the answer. Although my provisioning profile states that I have the aps-environment entitlement, and that I have Push Notification capability included, I STILL had to enable push notifications manually in the project. Additionally, the Background Modes (Remote notifications) capability needed to be added as well. These menus have changed in recent versions of xcode (for instance, the capabilities menu is now called signing and capabilities, and the add capability button is nestled up above all the settings).
In Xcode 11.5, follow these steps:
Click on your workspace name
Select your project in the target list
Select Signing & Capabilities
Click the +Capability button
Add Push Notifications and Background Modes (Remote notifications) from the list.
Today we have an app in applestore with a version labeled as 7.6.2 and internal build number as 1.0.0. We are using mobilefirst 7.1 to develop. Problem is that now we have a new app, that is 7.6.2.1, but we would like to know if is possible continue to use 7.6.2 app from applestore onto 7.6.2.1 mobilefirst app (asking it because we would like to keep our customers using just a single app from applestore). We also have an app on google play and would like to apply same idea.
Maybe this is an edge case, so do we have a way to control this directupdate by ourselves?
Customization of direct update is limited to the UI and options when you receive a direct update push.
As for version management, if both versions 7.6.2 and 7.6.2.1 are deployed in the MFP server, end users can have these versions deployed on their devices. Direct update or other configurations can be separately configured for these different versions.
However, if an end user is on v 7.6.2 and they take an update from AppStore or Playstore, and the version on the device becomes v7.6.2.1, this updated application on the device will start connecting to only v7.6.2.1 in the server. And only direct updates this version on the device ( 7.6.2.1) will receive are the ones uploaded to 7.6.2.1 in the server.
Direct update feature is meant only to push small web resources changes into your application. If the MFP Application Version numbers for both app versions(i.e 7.6.2 and 7.6.2.1) are different, you can continue to use both the versions and push direct update indvidually based on version number.
I'm working with MF CLI version 7.1. I've used Push Notification Sample from Mobile first and everything is going fine, but In my case I'm able to subscribe and receive push notifications.
But when I close the app I'm not able to receive push notification once I open the app the notification appears. The adapter message returned is with a positive result.
my device : Api level 6.
the project :
https://github.com/vivinkrishnan/multi-line-push
API level 6 translates to Android 2.0.1 which is not supported in MobileFirst. Try again in newer devices such as those starting with API level 10 (Android 2.2).
When looking at the contents of Version 6.1.0 Fix Pack 1, it doesn't appear to list PI06519 as one of it's constituents, yet when applying the fix pack in a bid to address the slow start up issue, it appears to fix the problem.
Is this supposed to be the definitive list of the contents of the fix pack and is simply an oversight, or should I be looking somewhere else for the full contents of it?
There is some problem with listing this APAR in the list of fixes which has yet to be resolved.

I understand how i can tie my application to the windows push notification service but the code i have to write to do so will only be reached when my app is started by the user. What if i want my application to receive push notifications when it has just been installed ?
the same question applies to background tasks
Setting up push notification channels and background tasks does require and app to be run at least once. You can, however, set up periodic notifications in Windows 8.1 through an entry in the manifest, so that you can have a live tile experience after install but before the app is run. If you do that, you can at least surface some info on the live tile right away to invite the user into the app, after which you can customize the experience much more with push notifications and background tasks.
You can find the periodic update URI field in the manifest editor's Application tab under Tile Update. The XML schema ref is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn391689.aspx.
Who will install the background agent or create push notification channel in this case? Yes, it should.
