How to enable IOS Push Notifications (Flutter/Firebase)

When we implement push notifications for Android, everything seems so simple — you write the code and pushes instantly come to your device. However, with iOS, everything is far from being so easy.

This brief guide describes how to enable IOS Push Notifications to your Flutter application using Firebase Cloud Messaging.

To activate push notifications for your iOS app, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Configuring an app and adding a Push Notifications capability to it in XCode.
  2. Generating Push Notification Certificates. (now can be skipped!!!)

  4. Connecting Certificates and Key to Firebase.
  5. Final Flutter configurations and asking a permission.
