Feature Requests: FCM for safari 16

[Abhishek2250]

As Safari 16 has now Push APIs support. Will FCM work for Safari 16?

Thanks

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

isSupported function returns true for Safari 16. Does that mean that FCM supports Safari or that Safari just supports all required browser APIs for web push?

The FCM quick start app runs background notifications successfully for me on Safari 16.2 with macOS Ventura. macOS 13 Ventura (released Oct 2022) is the minimum requirement according to Apple's documentation

I tried firebase messaging v9.16.0 in my app and it seems to work in background (when delivered by the service worker) but in foreground only receives notifications 3 times (messaging.onMessage handler).

I just tried on Safari tech preview 16.4 and I get this error, what version of firebase SDK you running?
getFCMToken error AbortError: Couldn't decode message

EDIT: It worked in 16.3 non preview.!

Unfortunately it does not work on iOS 16.4 beta

Unhandled Promise Rejection: FirebaseError: Messaging: This browser doesn't support the API's required to use the Firebase SDK. (messaging/unsupported-browser).

What firebase version are you using? (i assume frontend and service worker would have the same version)

Hi @andreififiita ,

both are running the latest (9.18.0)

[mavramopoulos]

hello, quick question, i am using a java backend with java 7 (unfortunately) so I have the java sdk ver 8.2.0 and for the service worker I am running 9.16.0 compat version, on chrome it works fine but in Safari I don't receive any notifications. Token registration and everything else works fine. Is it a version problem? (Can't go to java 8)

I managed to test firebase on iOS 16.4 and successfully receive notifications, but i do have a problem when application is in foreground: when the user is using the app (in focus), the notifications are received only 3 times (which come from data firebase messages). The notifications are displayed in the app's UI (for example the user is using a chat view to talk with another user, i do not display the notification in OS bar). This doesn't happen if the app is in background, when the notifications are delivered to the OS notification bar. But every time i tested on foreground, it fails receiving notifications more than 3 times. Also, if i call method to getToken() after this, firebase returns a new token (seems like the previous one is being invalidated). I have the same behavior on Safari on macos 13.3 Ventura. I am using 9.16.0 compat version (but i assume, using modular or compat versions shouldn’t have any behavioural differences, right?)

EDIT: on Chrome and Firefox (MacOS) everything works fine, no issues there.
