Step 1: Create New Target

1. Ensure you are using Xcode 8 or a higher version.

2. In Xcode, navigate to File > New > Target.

1. Select Notification Service Extension from the available options and create the new target.

Switching Back to Debugging

If you accidentally click on "Activate", you can return to debugging your app using Xcode, which is located next to the the play button.

Step 2: Update Pod File

1. Remove the Objective-C Bridging Header from your project.

2. Add the following to your Podfile to link the Netmera.framework to the Notification Content Extension.

3. Run pod update to install the dependency.

target 'your_service_extension_target_name' do
  pod "Netmera/NotificationServiceExtension"
end

Warning:

After adding the previous line to your Podfile, pod update is used.

Step 3: Add Code to the Notification Service Extension Class

1. Create a new class NotificationService that extends NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension.

2. Your NotificationService class should look like the following:

Swift

class NotificationService : NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension {

    override func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (_ contentToDeliver: UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
        super.didReceive(request, withContentHandler: contentHandler)
    }

    override func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
        super.serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire()
    }

}

Objective-C

#import <NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension/NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension.h>


@interface NotificationService : NetmeraNotificationServiceExtension

@end

#import "NotificationService.h"

@implementation NotificationService

- (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent *contentToDeliver))contentHandler {
    [super didReceiveNotificationRequest:request withContentHandler:contentHandler];
}

- (void)serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire {
    [super serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire];
}

@end

Step 4: Info.plist Configuration

1. Click Info.plist under NotificationService Extension

2. Add App Transport Security Settings

3. Under App Transport Security Settings add Allow Arbitrary Loads and set it to YES.

Allow Arbitrary Loads / Yes allows all HTTP loads:

NSAllowsArbitraryLoads allows all HTTP loads. This value should be set to true only if an image URL in HTTP format is being used in push notifications. Otherwise, it is not necessary and might be set as FALSE.

Troubleshooting

Check Service Extension Target Settings

• Ensure the minimum deployment version of your service extension matches or is lower than the device’s iOS version.

Ensure 'Copy only when installing' is Unchecked

• In Xcode, go to Build Phases and expand Embed App Extensions. Ensure that Copy only when installing is unchecked for your main target.

1. Select your main target.

2. Go to "Build Phases."

3. Expand "Embed App Extensions."

4. Ensure that "Copy only when installing" is NOT checked. If it is checked, please uncheck it.
