Unity RemoteNotification userData empty where I expect CustomData

Hello,

Currently we are trying to implement Remote Push Notifications through CloudScript.

We are executing the following CloudScript function extending the basics article:

var testObject =
  {
  	"TestKey" : "TestValue"  
  };
  
  var jsonString = JSON.stringify(testObject);
    
  try {
    server.SendPushNotification({
      Recipient : currentPlayerId,
      Package : {
        Message : "Test challenges you for a battle!",
        Title: "You have been challenged",
        CustomData : jsonString
      },
    });
  } catch (ex) {
    // Target player has not registered for Push Notifications
  }

On Android we properly receive the CustomData in the MessageReceivedEventArgs.Message.Data field.

However on iOS with Unity's built-in RemoteNotification I can't seem to find the Custom Data anywhere. The alertBody is present, but the userData Hashtable is empty.

Are we missing something or are we suppose to use a custom plug-in/native implementation?

Are we perhaps suppose to use AdvancedPlatformDelivery instead of Package to get custom data to iOS users?

Cheers,

Ted

Yes, you can use AdvancedPlatformDelivery if you know the structure of the JSON you should be receiving from the device. We have added a work task to support it properly.

Thank you for the reply,

I have tried AdvancedPlatformDelivery, however it seems that for iOS it wraps the AdvancedPushPlatformMsg.Json value in the aps dictionary. Meaning that I can only supply it with valid aps keys as documented here:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/PayloadKeyReference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH17-SW1

If I read the documentation correctly to supply additional data, I would have to add data in addition to the "aps" dictionary. This is an example from Apple's documentation.

{
    "aps" : {
        "content-available" : 1
    },
    "acme1" : "bar",
    "acme2" : 42
}

Of course I can try to write my own native solution to parse the data manually, but if possible I would like to avoid that. Would it be possible to get a confirmation for if that is how the AdvancedPlatformDelivery currently works for iOS?
