Pull request overview

Adds iOS “Communication Notifications” support artifacts so push notifications can display sender avatars on iOS 15+ by using a Notification Service Extension + INSendMessageIntent donation, and wires this into the notifications demo.

Changes:

Adds a Notification Service Extension template (NotificationService.swift + Info.plist) and documentation for enabling Communication Notifications on iOS.
Updates the notifications demo’s iOS project to include/embed the service extension and required capabilities (NSUserActivityTypes, entitlements).
Tweaks the demo UI logic to request permission on launch and register for push when granted.

 name: notifications-demo
 options:
-  bundleIdPrefix: com.tauri.dev
+  bundleIdPrefix: com.the-tie-bridge.app
  deploymentTarget:
    iOS: 14.0


bundleIdPrefix is set to com.the-tie-bridge.app for the demo's generated Xcode project. A hard-coded, real-looking bundle ID prefix will prevent other developers from signing/building unless they own that App ID; consider using a placeholder or documenting that it must be changed locally.

+				GCC_WARN_UNINITIALIZED_AUTOS = YES_AGGRESSIVE;
+				GCC_WARN_UNUSED_FUNCTION = YES;
+				GCC_WARN_UNUSED_VARIABLE = YES;
+				GENERATE_INFOPLIST_FILE = YES;


The extension target has GENERATE_INFOPLIST_FILE = YES while also specifying INFOPLIST_FILE = NotificationServiceExtension/Info.plist. This can lead to the built Info.plist not containing the required NSExtension keys (depending on Xcode settings). Prefer using the checked-in Info.plist (disable generation) or move all required keys to build settings and remove the file reference.

Suggested change

GENERATE_INFOPLIST_FILE = YES;

GENERATE_INFOPLIST_FILE = NO;

 				CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = "iPhone Developer";
+				DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = L4HDDT92GH;
 				ENABLE_BITCODE = NO;


DEVELOPMENT_TEAM is hard-coded to a specific Team ID. This makes the example project difficult to build for other contributors/CI (they will get code signing errors). Prefer leaving it unset in committed config or sourcing it from user-local settings.

+				CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = 1;
+				DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT = dwarf;
+				DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = L4HDDT92GH;
+				ENABLE_STRICT_OBJC_MSGSEND = YES;


The extension target also hard-codes DEVELOPMENT_TEAM to a specific Team ID, which will break signing for anyone else building the demo. Prefer leaving this unset in repo-committed project files (or make it configurable).

  "productName": "notifications-demo",
  "version": "0.1.0",
-  "identifier": "com.tauri.dev",
+  "identifier": "com.the-tie-bridge.app",
  "build": {


The demo app identifier was changed to com.the-tie-bridge.app. A hard-coded, real-looking bundle identifier will prevent other developers from signing/building the example unless they own that App ID. Consider using a clearly placeholder identifier (or documenting that users must change it).

ios/Extensions/CommunicationNotifications/NotificationService.swift

+import UserNotifications
+import Intents
+


NotificationService uses URL, URLSession, and Data, but the file does not import Foundation (and may also require Dispatch for DispatchSemaphore). This will fail to compile in targets that don't re-export these symbols; add the appropriate imports explicitly.

aps-environment is set to development in the entitlements file. This will fail signing for distribution/TestFlight builds (which require production). Consider using separate entitlements per configuration or setting this up via Xcode signing so debug uses development and release uses production.

PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER is set to com.the-tie-bridge.app for the demo app. For a repo-shipped example, consider using a placeholder identifier (or making it configurable) so contributors can build without owning that App ID.

The embedded .appex build file only has RemoveHeadersOnCopy in its copy attributes. For app extensions, the embed phase typically needs CodeSignOnCopy as well; without it the extension may not be properly signed when copied into the app bundle, causing install/runtime failures.
