Flutter FCM iOS Issue - APNS device token not set before retrieving FCM Token

Question

I am using firebase_messaging v9.0.1 in my Flutter application. On configuring this library based on the https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_messaging/example, I am able to receive the notification for android in both foreground and background states. But the same for iOS is not working. I am getting the below error,

APNS device token not set before retrieving FCM Token for Sender ID ''. Notifications to this FCM Token will not be delivered over APNS.Be sure to re-retrieve the FCM token once the APNS device token is set.

My iOS device is connected to internet and there were no network related issues while running this.

Do I want to call any other function apart from FirebaseMessaging.instance.getToken() for iOS? Please help.

Thanks.

I have the same issue. – Masahiro Aoki May 11 '21 at 16:05 — Masahiro Aoki, May 11 '21 at 16:05

I had the same problem, I went step by step again with firebase documentation and realize that the push notification capability was missing on debug and release modes.

Steps to solve the issue:

Go to xcode
Select runner
Signing & Capabilities
Check debug and release capabilities you need to have background modes and push notification

The way I solve this issue, instead of running the application thru debug mode, I archive the app and download it thru ad hoc and somehow this solves the issue

Practiclly the same for me. Stop playing from XCode and ran from phone itself and it worked. – Brian M Aug 30 '21 at 00:50

I received this error too but in my case I had set up an APN certificate instead of an APN key in Firebase. I had to update my APN certificate in Firebase which had expired. This resolved the error and I could obtain a token with .getToken() in my app.

Try running on a real device

Try this:

AppDelegate.swift

import UIKit
import Flutter
import Firebase
import FirebaseMessaging
import UserNotifications
@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
    var firebaseToken : String = "";
  override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    Messaging.messaging().delegate = self;
    FirebaseApp.configure()
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    Messaging.messaging().isAutoInitEnabled = true;
    self.registerForFirebaseNotification(application: application);
    return true;
   // GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    
  }
   override func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken : Data){
    print("X__APNS: \(String(describing: deviceToken))")
       Messaging.messaging().apnsToken = deviceToken;
    //Messaging.messaging().setAPNSToken(deviceToken, type:MessagingAPNSTokenType.prod )
    }
    
    override func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) {
        print("X_ERR",error);
    }
    
     func registerForFirebaseNotification(application : UIApplication){
    //    Messaging.messaging().delegate     = self;
        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            //UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self ;
            let authOpt : UNAuthorizationOptions = [.alert, .badge, .sound];
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: authOpt, completionHandler: {_, _ in})
            UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self ;
        }else{
            let settings : UIUserNotificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.alert, .badge, .sound], categories: nil)                
            application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings);
        }
        application.registerForRemoteNotifications();
    }
}

extension AppDelegate : MessagingDelegate{
    func messaging(_messagin : Messaging, didRecieveRegistrationToken fcmToken : String){
        self.firebaseToken = fcmToken;
        print("X__FCM: \(String(describing: fcmToken))")
    }
    func messaging(_messagin : Messaging, didRecieve remoteMessage : Any){
        //self.firebaseToken = fcmToken;
        print("REMOTE__MSG: \(remoteMessage)")
    }
    func application(_ application : UIApplication,didRecieveRemoteNotification uinfo: [AnyHashable : Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void){
        print("WITH__APN: \(uinfo)")
    }
}
