Web Push notifications on iOS don't route user to any URL on click

Falco · February 22, 2023, 6:01pm

When you receive a push notification on the iOS PWA it will correctly open the correct PWA for you.

However, if it’s open already, it won’t route you to the correct target URL of the notification, like for example the post URL on a notification for a reply.

Probably an iOS incompatibility on the code at

          event.waitUntil(
            clients.matchAll({ type: "window" }).then(function (clientList) {
              var reusedClientWindow = clientList.some(function (client) {
                if (client.url === baseUrl + url && "focus" in client) {
                  client.focus();
                  return true;
                }
          
          
      if ("postMessage" in client && "focus" in client) {
                  client.focus();
                  client.postMessage({ url: url });
                  return true;
                }
                return false;
              });
          
          
    if (!reusedClientWindow && clients.openWindow)
                return clients.openWindow(baseUrl + url);
            })
          );
