Firebase push notifications custom sound

Question

I am currently working on an app and I have implement firebase Push Notification service into my app. I am recieving notification on my iphone but I am unable to set the custom alert sound that I want.

• I added the sound as a .caf
• I added the sound to the Copy Bundle Resources

using print (userInfo) I have collected this data that is incomming from Firebase

aps: {
alert =     {
    body = MSG;
    title = Title;
};
sound = default;}, {...}, sound: alarm.caf

I understand where the problem is, I just dont understand how to fix it so that the app plays my custom notification sound.

Answer 1

Problem with Firebase is that you can not send sound parameter like custom parameter with Firebase Console, if you try this as you do, you will get this parameter in app outside of aps Dictionary and the system will not recognize it as a sound to be played although the sound file is into the project.

The only solution for this problem is you have some API/server through which you'll be sent a Firebase notification. When server send you a notification with sound param it will be within aps Dictionary and application will play this sound when the notification arrives.
