iOS 13 Killing app because it never posted an incoming call to the system after receiving a PushKit VoIP callback

问题

After upgrading to iOS beta 13 I've noticed an unpleasant thing: my app crashes sometimes on incoming VoIP pushes.

In the crash report I see the following:

I can not understand how to fix the problem. Am I obliged to post CallKit incoming call screen whenever I receive a VoIP push? It sounds crazy because I check if the notification is valid before showing the screen with incoming call. Can anybody explain what should I do?

回答1:

On this thread from apple forums, someone from apple staff explained this:

On iOS 13.0 and later, incoming Voice over IP calls must be reported when they are received and before the didReceiceIncomingPush() method finishes execution, using the CallKit framework, or the system will terminate your app.

Repeatedly failing to report calls may prevent your app from receiving any more incoming call notifications.

Basically, you can no longer use VoIP pushes for non VoIP messaging, and will need to use regular push notifications for those.

This was announced during the WWDC session "Advances in App Background Execution" https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/707/

I've been searching for answers on how to adapt an app for this change, and what I could gather is the following:

Voip Pushes

When your app receive this kind of push, it will need to report a new incoming call using CallKit. Therefore, this kind of push will be exclusive for calls that use CallKit.

It's recommended that you set the notification's apns-expiration to 0 or a very small value, so you won't receive a push and be forced to present a call screen for a call that already expired.

Push Notifications

Regular push notifications are another option. If your server has all the information you need to write the notification text, you can send notifications that won't even run your app in the background. If you need to modify the content of the notification before presenting it to the user, you can use a Notification Service app extension, and if you need your app to be woken up and execute something in background, you can send silent push notifications.

Notification Service App Extension

To use this, you must set your notification's mutable-content to 1. This way, your extension will receive the notification before it is presented to the user, allowing you to change its content, with a 30 seconds time limit.

The cons are that your app will stay in the background, only your extension will be allowed to run. This might mean that you will need to share information and code between your app and the extension, either by using user defaults, keychain, or by sharing your entire database (which might not be a simple task if your app is not prepared for that).

Silent Push Notifications

To send silent push notifications, you must set your notification's content-available to 1 and remove it's alert, badge and sound. This notification will wake up your app in the background, and call your app delegate's didReceiveRemoteNotification.

The downsides are quite annoying for this option:

• You will only get 30 seconds to run.
• These notifications must have a apns-priority of 5, which might cause them to be grouped and delivered in bursts, and even throttled or not delivered.
• If the user force closes the app, it will completely ignore all silent notifications until the user opens the app again.
