Widget and In-App Messages

Pop-up and In-App Message Presentation Behavior

All push notifications in Netmera work automatically—no additional coding is required. However, you can customize pop-up presentations and listen to push callbacks.

By default, when a popup notification or in-app message is received:

  • If the app is in the foreground, the SDK displays pop-up notifications and in-app messages immediately.

  • If the app is in the background, the SDK shows them when the app returns to the foreground.

Receiving Popups and In-App Messages in the Background

To receive popups or in-app messages when the application is in the background, you need to enable Remote Notifications under Background Modes in Capabilities.

Pop-up Presentation Logic

If a pop-up is received when pop-up presentation is disabled by your code, SDK will store it, and present whenever pop-up presentation is re-enabled. If multiple pop-up notifications are received during that period, SDK stores the most recent notification, and present only that one.

Enable / Disable Immediate Presentations

To prevent immediate pop-up presentation (e.g., during video playback, gaming, or checkout), use:

// Call this method to disable immediate popup presentation
Netmera.setEnabledPopupPresentation(false)

// Call this method to re-enable immediate popup presentation
Netmera.setEnabledPopupPresentation(true)

Devices in Low Battery Mode

Devices cannot receive popups or in-app messages while the application is closed or killed if the device is in low battery mode, as this mode disables background application refresh.

Troubleshooting Pop-up and In-App Message Issues

If you are facing issues with receiving pop-ups or in-app messages, follow the troubleshooting steps below:

1. Increase Session Expiry Duration

Increase the session expiration interval to give the app more time to display pop-ups:

  1. Navigate to Developer > App Info in your dashboard.

  2. Under App Config, increase the Session Expire Interval by 1.

  3. Click Apply to save the changes and retry the pop-up.

2. Check for Conflicting Code Settings

Ensure that no part of your code is setting values to false that may interfere with pop-up functionality.

3. Verify Delegate Method Placement

The UNUserNotificationCenter delegate method must be placed at the top of the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions function to ensure proper notification handling:

// Ensure this line is at the top of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
    UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self as? UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
} else {
    // Fallback for earlier iOS versions
}

4. Ensure Proper Initialization with Third-Party Tools

If you're integrating third-party tools, ensure that Netmera is initialized at the beginning of your project to avoid conflicts.

5. Handling Multiple Pop-ups

Displaying multiple pop-ups at once can cause loading issues. Ensure that your app logic accounts for displaying one pop-up at a time to avoid this problem.

6. Device Storage Limitations

Pop-ups may not display correctly if the device's storage is near full. Ensure that your device has enough available storage for proper notification delivery.
