Step by Step instructions to create a Notification Service Extension to send notifications with images in iOS

In this tutorial we assume that you have already made the certificates to publish your app in the App Store.

Step 1, create the Notification Service Identifier

  • Login to the Apple Developer Program
  • Click in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Identifiers
  • Now click on + to add new identifier
  • Select App IDs and continue
  • Select type App and continue
  • For the Description write AppName Notification Service or whatever you want
  • For the Bundle ID write app.package.name.NotificationService an set in Explicit
  • In Capabilities leave those selected by default, it is possible that if your main package uses Associated Domains you have to activate it here
  • Click now in continue to save identifier

Step 2, create the Notification Service Profile

  • Go now to Profiles
  • Now click on + to create new profile
  • Select App Store and continue
  • Select you app.package.name.NotificationService and continue
  • From the list, select the certificate you are currently using to sign your app for the App Store and continue
  • For the Provisioning Profile Name write AppName Notification Service Profile or whatever you want
  • Now click in Generate

Step 3, configure Xcode

  • First, download the new Profile with Xcode > Preferences... > Accounts > Download Manual Profiles
  • In you Xcode project, select File > New > Target and select Notification Service Extension
  • For the Product Name write NotificationService
  • Select in Language the Swift

Step 4, content of the created NotificationService.swift

Step 5, set provisioning profiles

  • Change the provisioningProfile from you build.json to an array with both profiles {"app.package.name":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "app.package.name.NotificationService":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"}

Step 2, 3 (first line) and 5 will have to do them again when the profile expires. Step 3 and 4 will probably have to do it again if you eliminate and add the ios platform.

Now you can send notifications with images using the following payload.

{
  "name": "my_notification",
  "notification": {
    "body": "Notification body",
    "title": "Notification title"
  },
  "data": {
    "notification_foreground": "true",
    "notification_ios_image_jpg": "https://...",
    "notification_ios_image_png": "https://...",
    "notification_ios_image_gif": "https://...",
  }
}
