Push notifications from firebase in iOS simulator

Question

I have an app that uses cordova-plugin-firebasex for the push notifications. But they don't appear in notification center while app is in the background. I'm using iOS simulator in XCode.

Can I test Firebase notifications in simulator while app is in the background? Or I need real device for this?

Answer 1

Simulators are not supporting push notifications. You can see this output text from Firebase SDK in yuor console output Like

6.27.0 - [Firebase/Messaging][I-FCM012002] Error in application:didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError: remote notifications are not supported in the simulator
