iOS Question B4X Push server not generating notifications

[wl]

Hi,

I try getting a B4X push server to push messages to my iPhone. Everything seems ok (certficates, B4J push server and b4i ios app), but I'm not receiving any notifications on my device.
I'm using
- a B4i-bridge release app
- the sandbox gateway API

Application_PushToken is beign called an I receive a token.
But Application_RemoteNotification is never called.
I allowed the application to receive notifications when I first ran it.

When sending a message the B4J server reports:

Waiting for debugger to connect...
Program started.

Should the B4J Push server run on an internet address ? It's currently running on my local 192.168.1.x subnet and not accessible from the internet.

I looked at https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/push-notifications.48562/#content where Alberto seemed to have the same problem.

Thanks !

There is no reason to use B4X push server. Use Firebase. It is simpler and will work better.
