Sending localized push notifications to iOS doesn't work #639
Description
Environment
- Operating System version: macOS Mojave 10.14.6
- Firebase SDK version: 8.4.0
- Firebase Product: Cloud Messaging
- Node.js version: 12.6.0
- NPM version: 6.9.0
Problem
It's not possible to send localized push notifications to iOS in an apns payload. There's an error about incorrect types. I've also tried with body_loc_key and title_loc_key but with same error. The only way to silence the error is to include either title or body in the alert, but that overrides any localization and displays the title/body instead.
Steps to reproduce:
async function sendLocationLostNotification(notificationToken: string, newOwner: string, locationName: string) {
const message = {
name: "Location Lost Notification",
token: notificationToken,
apns: {
payload: {
aps: {
alert: {
loc_key: "location-lost-notification-body",
loc_args: [newOwner, locationName]
},
sound: "default"
}
}
}
};
return await admin.messaging().send(message)
}
