Can a 3rd party app access other apps' notifications?

I do understand that Apple emphasizes security but I have to ask: is there any way that a 3rd party app can access all notification data? Like the NotificationListenerService available in the Android API?

I did come across ANCS, but I guess that's only accessible to BLE devices. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Solution

  • No, Apple does not provide access to the Notifications of other apps, nor does it provide access to any listener service, or notification queue.

    Here is a link to the Apple doc, which describes the provisioning that is required to set up and access APNS: APNS Provisioning and Development
