[Mainsite] Push notifications not working on second device

[Remocracy]

I signed up for push notifications on my first device and it worked great. On my second device and I'm not getting a single push notification. I have tried turning push notifications on and off again to no avail.

 

[rdn]

Which device is your second device?

Which device is your second device?

Both of these are Chrome on MacOS. The first was a laptop, the second is a Macbook

 

[rdn]

A short googling shows that iOS devices seem to have trouble with the Push notifications.

In any case, its not my job to fix Xenforo its Software and if that device isnt supported theres not much I can do. It seems to work for many other users well enough.

This isn't iOS it's MacOS. iOS doesn't support web push notifications to my knowledge. But Google Chrome shouldn't work differently for different devices.

You can give me your useragent and i can try to ask xenforo devs whats up with it.

Chrome is basically a re-skin of Safari.

I AM NOT ON A PHONE I AM ON THE DESKTOP PUSH NOTIFICATIONS HAS WORKED ON DESKTOP SINCE ALWAYS

So what?

read more here, thanks

Using Apple devices is a skill issue after all

I have never had problems with multi-device notifications from Reddit, Instagram, etc. Only this website doesn't work.

 

[Remocracy]

Blink is a fork of the WebCore component of WebKit

Also this literally doesn't make a difference. Chrome on Windows and Chrome on Mac use the same underlying codebase. There should not be too many differences between them.

 

[Remocracy]

Because they went out of their way to support Apple


Read more here, thx

Indeed a skill issue

If this were true then I never would have been able to setup push notifications on the first device. The only difference I can think of is that the first device is on MacOS 13 while the second device is on MacOS 12.

 

[Remocracy]

You found it out after all. You would have known from the beginning if you just read what I wrote in my first reply

But your link is talking about Safari on MacOS. Chrome on MacOS supports the Push API and has so for a long time. I have been getting Chrome push notifications from Reddit since Day 1 of owning this device.

 

[Remocracy]

Software updates exist, you know. Saying you "never had problems" or "since day 1" doesn't mean a lot.
It either really is some website problem because it didn't register your subscription (it doesn't work that way tho, it's your device making requests to a feed), or it's some change in macOS 13
The question now is just if you still get push notifications on your device with macOS 12. And are you super sure chrome didn't update on that device since macOS 13 was released?
Bzw reply to this so I can test notifications on my second device.

Testing, uno dos tres

I got a push notification this afternoon from Reddit, so I know it's doing something correct

 

[Remocracy]

Works for me lol

Bro I have no clue anymore. Is it because my Chrome profiles are synced? This is so annoying because my second device is my laptop for college and I’m in college for another 2 months at least before the next break

um

I don't know how you can possibly say this:

Chrome is basically a re-skin of Safari. It gives you the same experience like on Android phones, but it uses Safari's rendering engine and is probably limited by other Apple shenanigans.

So it's just a skill issue for using Apple devices

and then say this later

Blink is a fork of the WebCore component of WebKit

This literally means that Google Chrome is not a re-skin of safari. Also, just because the webcore is the same doesn't even mean that it's a fork of WebKit. Literally they just use some of the same components, where WebCore, in that same link that you shared is,

WebCore is a layout, rendering, and Document Object Model (DOM) library for HTML and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), developed by the WebKit project.

Meaning that it's mainly a visual component. If anything, it would be closer to say that Google Chrome has a similar 'skin' as safari, instead of google chrome being a 're-skin' of safari, which is not the same in any way.


Also, I don't know why you said this,

Software updates exist, you know. Saying you "never had problems" or "since day 1" doesn't mean a lot.
It either really is some website problem because it didn't register your subscription (it doesn't work that way tho, it's your device making requests to a feed), or it's some change in macOS 13

while also blatantly forgetting that you wrote this

@Remocracy @rdn from what I see on the xenforo forum, push notifications weren't supported on Apple devices for a long time (see here) since it just wasn't supported in Safari. But this was changed a few months ago (see also here), which means @Remocracy's devices are probably just too old to support it or Xenforo still needs "adjustments before it will work"



Chrome is basically a re-skin of Safari. It gives you the same experience like on Android phones, but it uses Safari's rendering engine and is probably limited by other Apple shenanigans.

So it's just a skill issue for using Apple devices

Like, if it worked for them before the change happened for Safari, then clearly Google Chrome is not the same as Safari.

Also, OP said they signed up for push notifications and it never came. If we disregard everything else, say that they're using safari, and just focus on the device being too old and say that their device didn't update past the point mentioned in the xenforo forum, then it wouldn't even prompt for a push notification.



So weird to me that you're so derogatory of OP by calling it a skill issue, when your main argument is "Safari = Chrome" , when it's not even close to being true.

 

[strangeirdo]

Works for me lol

You're being a bit misleading here. Is your second device a Mac? If not, are you just testing to see if a second device works?

 

[strangeirdo]

Why are you highlighting "android phones" when OP was talking about a Mac, not an iphone, so phones are literally irrelevant.

Y-you do know what "[software] fork" means, right?

Clearly, you don't know what a software fork is. Again, it's not a fork of webkit, like you claimed. It would only be a fork of webkit if they took a version of webkit and then modified it. What they did is use webcore, so at best you could call it a fork of webcore.

Edit: An example of what you're saying is that if I imported the same library that is used in another software, you're saying that my new software is a fork of that one, which wouldn't be true.
