# How to Avoid Common Push Notification Issues on iOS Devices Using iOS Objective C version 9.x.x?

> Troubleshoot push impression and image rendering problems on iOS with Objective-C SDK 9.x.x. Ensure appgroupid is set correctly in MoEngage.

## Problem

Common issues with Push notifications, including Push Campaign impressions not being tracked and images not rendering even though Push notifications are successfully delivered to device with Objective C version 9.x.x.

<Info>
  For Push Campaign impressions to be tracked, verify that the **Show iOS impressions** toggle on the MoEngage dashboard is turned on.

## Solution

Perform the following steps:

1. **Check for app\_group\_id in your project’s main target for each configuration**: You can add the same app\_group\_id or different ones across configurations.
   <Info>
     Issues may arise if your configurations use different Bundle Identifiers but share the same app\_group\_id. Specifically, the Notification Service Extension may fail if two apps with different Bundle Identifiers but the same app\_group\_id are installed on the same device.
     To avoid this, you can use the same app\_group\_id across multiple configurations, but be aware that you won't be able to test all apps simultaneously on a single device.

2. **Check for app\_group\_id during SDK initialization**:
   * If the SDK is initialized using info.plist, the APP\_GROUP\_ID key must be there inside the MoEngage key in your info.plist file.
   * If the SDK is initialized using sdkConfig, the APP\_GROUP\_ID must be in the sdkConfig variable inside the AppDelegate file.\
     **app\_group\_id in info.plist:**

     **app\_group\_id in sdkConfig variable:**
   ```objective-c Objective-C wrap theme={null}
   MoEngageSDKConfig* sdkConfig = [[MoEngageSDKConfig alloc] initWithAppId:@"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" dataCenter: MoEngageDataCenterData_center_0X];
   sdkConfig.appGroupID = @"group.com.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
   ```
3. **Check for a Notification Service Extension Target**:
   * **Enable Push Notifications**: In the extension target's Signing & Capabilities section, make sure to enable Push Notifications and add the AppGroupId.

   * **Align the Minimum Deployment iOS Version**: Ensure that the minimum deployment iOS version of the Notification Service Extension matches the iOS version of the main app. <img alt="support.png" src="https://mintcdn.com/moengage/dLyLAwgfsm1v6_MY/images/moengage_812799.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=dLyLAwgfsm1v6_MY&q=85&s=d2b92bdfffd8d7a74d517bb53d479592" width="1920" height="563" data-path="images/moengage_812799.png" />
4. Integrate the MORichNotification framework into the Notification Service Extension target.
   ```objective-c Objective-C theme={null}
   target 'MoEngageDemo' do
     use_frameworks!
     pod 'MoEngage-iOS-SDK'
   end
   target 'MoEngageNotificationService' do
     use_frameworks! #use use_frameworks only if included in main target as in above scenario
     pod 'MoEngageRichNotification'
   end
   ```
5. NotificationService.m file looks like this:
   ```objective-c Objective-C theme={null}
   #import "NotificationService.h"
   @import MoEngageRichNotification;
    
   @interface NotificationService ()
    
   @property (nonatomic, strong) void (^contentHandler)(UNNotificationContent *contentToDeliver);
   @property (nonatomic, strong) UNMutableNotificationContent *bestAttemptContent;
    
   @end
    
   @implementation NotificationService
    
   - (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent * _Nonnull))contentHandler {
       @try {
         	[MoEngageSDKRichNotification setAppGroupID: @"group.com.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"];
           self.contentHandler = contentHandler;
           self.bestAttemptContent = [request.content mutableCopy];
           [MoEngageSDKRichNotification handleWithRichNotificationRequest:request withContentHandler:contentHandler];
       } @catch (NSException *exception) {
           NSLog(@"MoEngage : exception : %@",exception);
       }
   }
   /// Save the image to disk
   - (void)serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire {
       // Called just before the extension will be terminated by the system.
       // Use this as an opportunity to deliver your "best attempt" at modified content, otherwise the original push payload will be used.
       self.contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent);
   }
   @end
   ```
6. **Check Build Phases for the Main App Target**: In the Build Phases section of the main app target, locate the Embed App Extensions / Embed Foundation Extensions section. Ensure that the **Copy only when installing** option is unchecked.

7. **Ensure Consistent appGroupId Across Configurations**: Verify that the appGroupId is consistent across all schemes and configurations (e.g. Debug/Release/QA/UAT) in the project.
8. **Align Build Configuration**: When running or archiving the project, ensure that the Build Configuration for the Main Target and Notification Service Extension Target points to the same scheme/configuration.
