[BUG] Notifications arrive encoded/encrypted but display correctly in-app.

[seesee]

** Issue **
When an igotify notification event triggers, it arrives on my phone/watch in a base64-encoded form (or at least something that looks like that). My efforts to diagnose the issue have come up blank. I've tried upgrading and reinstalling the various components. The notifications in the app itself are rendered correctly.

Expected behavior
Notifications are decoded and rendered correctly

I fully suspect user error/misconfiguration somewhere on my part, but I can't figure out what I've missed/done wrong. Also, everything used to work flawlessly until relatively recently.

It looks like that you're Public or private Key for encoding/decoding is wrong 🤔 the only way is to reinstall the app then you get a new one.

I can also try to add a new function to reconfigure public/private key in the app

Thank you, reinstalling fixed it -- previously, I did try deleting and re-adding the instance within the app but the issue persisted and I hadn't tried a full delete/redownload. Adding a mechanism to reconfigure keys sounds like an excellent idea, but you could just put a note in the docs to suggest reinstalling if the messages arrive encoded.

Many thanks again!

you welcome, the refresh function is now in planned.

@androidseb25 would you consider to reopen this issue?

I have the same behavior - however only one source shows the encoded/encrypted notification. So it should not have to do with an expired key...

Messages from diun, ProxMox or the gotify cli app are shown correctly, messages over gotify-alertmanager-plugin from my prometheus instance are showing exactly the unreadable message from the igotify logfile.

Could that be?

I can happily help to debug or test if you need it.

App: 1.4.2 (32)
Gotify: 2.6.1
iGotify: 1.3.1.0

Thank you.

I think it's not an igotify problem when it work on other notification systems, I think it's the plugin you use

[logopk]

Hmm, the message is shown in the app - like above in the screenshots - only the notification is bad...

[logopk]

I can reproduce it:

▶ gotify push --priority 10 -t "🔥 🆘 🆘 🆘 Minimal https://example.com" "Summary: A summary!
Description: A description!
Go to Alertmanager
🔥 🆘 🆘 🆘 https://example.com
Go to Prometheus
StartsAt: 2020-02-02T02:02:02.020Z
EndsAt: 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z
Fingerprint: 1234
"

and this is not via Plugin but the message...

[logopk]

Stripped it down to 🔥 in both Title and Message

I'm also seeing the same issue, will try and reinstall to see if that fixes it.

EDIT: re-installing worked for me.
