I want to show the badge of notification on the App Store icon in iPhone after approving the update of application on the App Store.
Does developer has to do any thing for that badge of Notification or App Store will take care of it?
Please suggest me regarding it.
Thanks in advance.
You can't trigger this badge yourself.
The badge is updated once the user opens the App Store and the store checks for updates for all installed apps. If there are updates, the App Store will update this badge itself.
There's no central instance that triggers this badge, especially it is not "attached" to push notifications.
It's automatic, you don't have to do anything.

Is there a way to store app notifications in a flutter app. Most of the time this app will be closed and the app notifications will not directly be hitting the app. I would like to store app notifications in a notifications received section. I know I can get the notifications if the app is opened, but for if the app is closed and it just shows as a status, I can't get them in the device unless the user clicks on the notification message. and it opens the app. What options do I have and is what I am wanting to do even possible?
First interpretation of your question: If I read your question correctly, you're saying its not possible to have text in your notifications when the app is not open. This is definitely possible, almost all your apps create notifications on the device with more than just 'status'.
Another interpretation of your question: In response to a firebase cloud messaging message, you might want to save data or do some other background task, instead of just creating a notification the user sees. This is not enabled by default. There's lots more instructions on enabling and using this in the README
By default background messaging is not enabled. To handle messages in the background:
The golden nugget of information is _firebaseMessaging.configure(onBackgroundMessage: yourBackgroundMessageHandler) which is not listed under the receiving messages section.
Let me know if I misread. What do you mean by status?
You can use background Fetch to make the app stay in the background. The package will awaken an app in the background about every 15 minutes.
I am using phonegap push notification plugin and all seems work fine. push comes without any problem.
But the problem is there is nothing I can do when app is back-grounded.
multiple push notifications can arrive when app is backgrounded. I can not expect which push
notification user going to click. Whatever notification user clicks, app will be resumed without
information of user selection. I have to trigger different events depanding on what nofitication
user selected. I need to know what notification user selected when app is resumed but don't
know how to... seems very tricky problem. is there anybody had same problem?
how did you guys handle this problem?
any help will be appriciated.
never mind...
I thought window.plugins.pushNotifiction.getPendingNotification would return all pending
notifications which arrived while app is background.
But getPendingNotification function only returns the notification that user selected on
notification center or mobile screen.
well... seems nice..
you can`t get all notification information which fire during application is off or app. is in background but, you can fetch user info shortly receive notification in native iOS app.
please follow this application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions.
At first call of launch you can check for options and retrive the user-info.
for more info refer above link.
I am developing an iPhone app. It has an option called automatic update. it can be updated automatically once in a week/month/6 months. Could you please let me know How can I invoke my desired method based on this setting even my app was not opened by the user?
You can't, the user will need to open the app, there is no way to schedule update routines.
You could inform the user that he/she need to update with an UILocalNotification, but I would suggest only to update your app when the users starts it.
It's against apples rules to push an updated app within your app. You have to resubmit to the app store.
what you can do is that increase badge count of application icon on receiving notification from UIlocalNotification.
when user open application check the application badge count if it is more than zero apply your logic to update application.
else there will be no update popup to client.
Does anyone know if you can send a user to an app's update in the appstore?
We want to do this from within the app and/or when getting a Push Notification.
Thanks!
Yes, it is possible as long as you have the URL that links to your app.
I'm not 100% sure, but I seem to remember seeing something in the apple rules that means you may not be able to send a push notification advertising new apps. But an update may be ok.
Remember as well that a user may have already updated the app because they had the badge on the AppStore icon and then you push a notification out to all users. Could be annoying.
i would like to check:
if a user downloaded my app, than i make some update to app, data etc., itunes will auto remind the user of the update through app store, and the user can update for free? or do i have to set such reminder in my application?
else, is there a way for me to send this notification?
thks

Yes, the phone notifies of app updates through the App Store app and app updates are free.
Alternatively, you can use push notifications to notify the user that a new version is available, or display an alert the next time they open the app.
To do the latter you can query the version of the app ([[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:#"CFBundleVersion"];) and compare it to a value provided by your web server.
