Ahh it doesnāt work at all. The issues I noticed
-only get notifications when I am in the app. When the app is closed I never get a notification
-the zap notifications screen goes blank and missing zaps I received
-donāt get a notification when I get a DM
Feels like Iām missing out on so much due to lack of consistent notifications
oh yeah we donāt have push notifications yet because apple has been screwing us over for half a year now. nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 has a workaround that weāll be pushing soon and we have a call with apple this week about it.
Call with Apple incoming! Iām setting it up thanks to nostr:npub13v47pg9dxjq96an8jfev9znhm0k7ntwtlh9y335paj9kyjsjpznqzzl3l8 ās banger email š¤£
Sound like Apple. What are they preventing?
to supress notifications we need a special permission from apple called an āentitlementā. We want to have encrypted mute lists. To properly handle encryped mutes we need to have the ability to hide notifications if a user youāve muted is on your encrypted mute list.
The relay has no way of knowing if you are muting someone on an encrypted mute list and will trigger a notification regardless, so we need this ability to hide a notification locally.
Apple has refused to give us the entitlement since the end of last year. They havenāt given us a reason.
Entitlement seems only be for critical notifications (emergency alerts, alarms, overriding ringer silencers, etc).
Are you triggering the notify service directly from Damus Relay? If so I would work on "filtering" the notifies Relay-side.
In the same way that you would filter Relay-side that Bob only gets notifies on events for Bob's posts (and not Sally's).... A similar Relay-side filter should be able to filter out events from muted parties too.
Then use Apple Notify service under "Active" level, without need for entitlement.
Use Android?
Is it possible to have a zap.store for apple? There's one for android. ORRR WHYnot make a NOSTRVONE, Nostr phone
Damn Apple!
