SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

End-to-end implementation and diagnosis of push notification delivery problems across iOS, Android, and web, including registration failures, token lifecycle issues, credential misconfiguration, payload limits, and delivery errors that prevent users from receiving notifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Registration & Subscription: Guidance for SDK registration flows, foreground vs background tokens, token reassignment, and subscription state management.
  • Platform-Specific Implementation: APNs (.p8/.p12) and FCM/service account configuration, iOS badge count, Android notification channels, and web VAPID/service worker setup.
  • Message Creation & Advanced Options: Payload construction, TTL, collapse keys, rich media, action buttons, and cross-platform composition constraints.
  • Quality, Testing & Troubleshooting: Error-code interpretation (APNs/FCM), delivery diagnostics, test-send workflows, frequency capping, and reporting metrics analysis.
  • Use Case Example: Diagnose why a cohort of iOS users stopped receiving pushes after an app update and produce steps to validate APNs credentials, token validity, and payload size.

Quick Start

Use the engineer-push skill to diagnose why iOS users are not receiving push notifications and provide step-by-step remediation for credentials, token registration, and payload validation.

Frequently Asked Questions about engineer-push

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why are my iOS push notifications not being delivered after an app update?

iOS push notification delivery failures after an app update often stem from invalid APNs credentials, expired device tokens, or payload size limit violations. You must validate your .p8 or .p12 credential configuration, verify token registration state, and check payload format constraints to resolve the issue.

How do I set up web push notifications using VAPID and service workers?

To set up web push notifications, you must configure VAPID keys and register a service worker to manage the subscription state. This process involves generating platform-specific credentials, constructing valid payloads, and handling browser subscription endpoints to ensure reliable delivery.

What is the best way to manage FCM and APNs token lifecycle and registration?

Token lifecycle management requires handling SDK registration flows, monitoring foreground versus background token states, and executing token reassignment when subscriptions change. Validating the subscription state and platform credentials ensures tokens remain active for campaign and API sends.

How do I interpret APNs and FCM delivery error codes for push notifications?

Interpreting APNs and FCM delivery error codes involves mapping status responses to specific credential misconfigurations, invalid token registration states, or payload format limits. Running delivery diagnostics and analyzing reporting metrics helps pinpoint whether the failure is due to authentication or message construction.

Are there payload size and format limits for cross-platform push notification composition?

Cross-platform push notification composition requires adhering to strict payload size and format limits specific to APNs, FCM, and web push protocols. Validating notification channel configurations, TTL settings, and collapse keys ensures messages meet platform constraints before delivery.

Push notifications are not working, how do I run delivery diagnostics?

Running push notification delivery diagnostics involves executing test-send workflows, checking platform credential validation, verifying token registration states, and reviewing frequency capping configurations. This workflow identifies whether failures originate from subscription issues or message payload constraints.
