iOS : notifications works only after installing app

On iOS, I can make work the notifications (cloud messaging) only after the app installation Also it only works for foreground notifications (background notifs are all received at resuming app)

But if I kill the app, or if the app close by itself (after long pausing), or after the next tns run ios, then the notifications stop to work at all :

• onMessageReceivedCallback (inside init option) is ever no more called
• firebase.addOnMessageReceivedCallback no more called too Until the next installation…

I use firebase console to send notifications, and whether I use single device (FCM) or user segment as target, the result is the same : it works only after the app installation

Here is version I use :

• iPhone 6 (version 10.2 (14C92)
• nativescript plugin firebase : 3.11.4
• tns info :
  • angular : 2.4.3
  • nativescript : 2.5.4 │ Up to date
  • tns-core-modules : 2.5.2 │ Up to date
  • tns-android : 2.5.0 │ Up to date
  • tns-ios : 2.5.0 │ Up to date

On android, it works great

Had this same issue for several days on iOS. (Tested on both iOS 9 and iOS 10), {N} 3

Running firebase.init before the application has launched seems to be the cause of the issue. This can be remedied by running firebase.init in your first view-model.

Hope this helps.
