Provisioning profiles for Service Extension and Content Extension

Question

I am trying to implement Rich notifications in my iOS application and while using Notification Service Extension and Notification Content Extension, post running my app I am getting error of same bundle identifier. For these extensions do I need to use separate provisioning profiles? Like one for my code, one for Notification Service Extension and one for Notification Content Extension?

Answer 1

Yes you have to use separate provisioning profile for Notification Service Extension and Notification Content Extension. For reference you can use this link.

Service extensions:

A Service extension’s entry point class UNNotificationServiceExtension

It overrides 2 methods:

func didReceive(_ request: UNNotificationRequest, withContentHandler contentHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationContent) -> Void) {
}

func serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire() {
}

Content extension’s entry point class is UIViewController and it implements protocol

func didReceive(_ notification: UNNotification) {
}

Answer 2

Yes, you need to create the separate certificates (dev and release) for Notification Service Extension.

Also you should include the mutable-content key and set true in your payload as shown below.

{
    "aps": {
        "alert": {
            "title": "test title",
            "body": "test message"
        },
        "mutable-content": 1
    },
    and more...
}
