Do Local Notifications work at all in iOS Safari or standalone apps? I don't mean Push Notifications with service workers, but the ones initiated from the browser with new Notification().
There isn't any result from new Notification().
Permissions are granted; the context is secure; the app is added to the Home Screen; "Notifications" flag in Safari Advanced WebKit settings is turned on.
Local notifications using new Notification() don't work as expected in iOS Safari or standalone web apps added to the Home Screen.
Here’s why:
In Safari: Local notifications (not push notifications) aren't supported, even if permissions are granted. They typically only work in the context of service workers and push notifications. Home Screen PWAs: Notifications should work for PWAs, but only via push notifications, not directly with new Notification(). These require a service worker to handle the push event. User Interaction: For new Notification() to work in Safari, it must be triggered by a user action (like a click) while the app is in the foreground. Solution: If you need notifications in a web app, use Push Notifications with a service worker, which is the recommended approach on iOS.
