iOS: add native alerts, badges, and replay reconciliation - #216
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe iOS companion now supports native notification permissions, live and replayed alerts, time-sensitive approvals, badges, and authorization controls. Closed-app delivery remains dependent on APNs relay infrastructure. ChangesiOS notification delivery
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds native notifications and badge synchronization, but the current implementation may leave the badge stale after notification settings change and may replay the same alert more than once. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded notification-correctness issues. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Clarify when reconciliation occurs.
ios/App/Session.swift:215-276 cancels the stream during backgrounding, and ios/README.md:165-168 describes the connection as foreground-only. Replace “background reconciliation” with “reconciliation when the app becomes active” so this text does not imply background execution or closed-app delivery.

🌐 Web query:
Apple UserNotifications UNNotificationRequest same identifier delivered notification center.add behavior duplicate alert
💡 Result:
When you add a UNNotificationRequest to the UNUserNotificationCenter with an identifier that matches an existing notification, the system behavior depends on the state of that existing notification [1][2]: 1. If the identifier matches a pending notification request, the new request replaces the pending one [1][2]. 2. If the identifier matches a notification that has already been delivered and is still in the Notification Center, the system replaces the old notification with the new one [1][2]. In this case, the system will alert the user again and place the new notification at the top of the list [1][2]. In short, using the same identifier is the standard, system-supported way to update or replace a notification—whether it is still pending or already visible to the user [3][4][2]. If your goal is to avoid duplicates, you should use the same identifier for updates; if your goal is to have multiple distinct notifications appear, you must ensure each UNNotificationRequest uses a unique identifier [1][5][6].

Track delivered notification identifiers before scheduling replayed frames.
Replayed .notify frames reach deliver, and reusing an identifier for a delivered notification presents it again. This can duplicate banners and sounds, including for time-sensitive approvals. Add deduplication and coverage for replaying the same sequence.

Synchronize the badge after authorization changes.
When a denied user enables notifications in iOS Settings, enableNotifications() returns before setting the badge. On app activation, CompanionApp only calls refreshNotificationAuthorization(). If no stream frame follows, the icon badge remains stale.
Update the badge in refreshNotificationAuthorization(). Remove the duplicate update after that refresh call.
Proposed fix

notificationAuthorization = await NotificationCoordinator.shared.authorizationStatus()
+ NotificationCoordinator.shared.setBadge(state.unreadCount)
}
...

Summary
Validation
APNs boundary
Tailscale encrypts and routes the foreground connection, but it cannot wake a terminated iOS app. Closed-app delivery needs project-owned Apple push credentials and a hosted relay. This PR completes the on-device layer without distributing an APNs private key in desktop builds.
