Extensions in Development • Re: [3.3][RC] Browser Push Notifications

I tested this extension on a mac (Chrome, Firefox and Safari) and on Android (Chrome) and it works good.

But, on iOS (Chrome and Safari), when I click the subscribe toggle or the enable button in UCP, nothing happens. Not even an error message.

Does someone tested it against iOS and could enable notifications? Is there some configuration on iOS that could be hindering the correct behavior? I am running iOS 17.5.1 and Chrome 126.0.6478.153.

Kind regards,
That's because it is disabled. Clicking a disabled button will always do nothing because it's, well, disabled.

It's disabled because Safari on iOS does not support Push Notifications. Unless you convert the web page into a progressive web application and jump through a few other hoops.

You gotta go into the Safari Settings > Advanced > Feature Flags and enable Notifications.

Then you gotta go to the site, and Add it to your Home Screen via the Share button.

From that point on you need to access the site from its new App icon on your home screen.

And yes, that also means the site you want to receive push notifications from will have to exist on your phone as a web app, whether you like it or not. Until some version of iOS finally makes safari support push notifications in a normal way.
