Description

Description:

Messages received via push notification (iOS) are not shown in the app. They appear when users connect via the browser.

Steps to reproduce:

  2. Tap on it
  3. RocketChat opens and the message is not there
  4. Restart RocketChat on iOS -> message still not there
  5. Open a browser, login into RocketChat and the message is there
Expected behavior:

Messages should not disappear.

Actual behavior:

Messages disappear forever.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the push-notification flow in the iOS app and compare it with the browser behavior, then trace the server setup involving Node.js, MongoDB, and Docker. Done means the notified message remains visible in RocketChat after opening and restarting the iOS app.
