I created a small test project, enabled push notifications and remote notifications and added the template NotificationServiceExtension. When the notification is shown, the title isn't modified as the template would suggest, nor can I attach the debugger to the extension on the simulator.
The notification content has the mutable-content flag set properly, so I would expect it to be called.
{
"aps": {
"alert": {
"title": "Notification Title",
"body": "Notification Body"
},
"badge": 0,
"mutable-content": 1,
"sound": "default",
"category": "richMessage"
}
}
The code I'm using to build the notification:
guard let jsonResult = convertToDictionary(text: incomingData),
let apsData = jsonResult["aps"] as? [String: Any],
let alert = apsData["alert"] as? [String: String],
let title = alert["title"],
let body = alert["body"],
let category = apsData["category"] as? String else { return }
let localNotification = UNMutableNotificationContent()
localNotification.title = title
localNotification.body = body
localNotification.categoryIdentifier = category
let identifier = "SurveyIdentifier"
let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 1, repeats: false)
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: identifier, content: localNotification, trigger: trigger)
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request, withCompletionHandler: nil)
