Support for iOS interruption-level API

[itayAmza]

Hi,
Is there a way to set interruption-level value like time-sensitive for APNSDevice?
Send communication and Time Sensitive notifications for more context if needed

example payload:

{
    "aps" : {
        "alert" : {
            "title" : "Urgent",
            "body" : "Your account requires attention."
        }
        "interruption-level" : "time-sensitive"
    }
}

hello @itayAmza, at the moment, support for interruption-level on iOS devices
is not currently supported internally. I have also just reviewed the underlying
library that we use for the iOS SDK, PyAPNs2 and it does not support this feature either.

This would make for a new feature request, so I will go ahead and edit the tags appropriately.

Hi, @50-Course, @GonzaloAvilez do you guys know if any progress has been made for this feature request? and if not if there is some way of a workaround to set time-sensitive for iOS payloads?

Hello @itayAmza , I opened the Pull Request but it seems that this library doesn't have support anymore. I worked in other libraries that make use Golang . Maybe it could help you (https://github.com/appleboy/gorush). It's like a proxy service, this is working wonderful.
In the other hand you probably can try to do a fork from this rpository and create your own version and pointing out in your requirements.txt to that forked library. Or maybe you could make use my forked version https://github.com/GonzaloAvilez/PyAPNs2 . I guess that could works very well because I based my changes using iOS documentation and I did this before for gorush.

@itayAmza after to a fast review in this repo (django-push-notifications) I notice that is prepared to set interruption level as part of payload in the NotificationRequest class as showed below.

	request = NotificationRequest(
		device_token=registration_id,
		message={
			"aps": {
				"alert": alert,
				"badge": badge,
				"sound": sound,
				"thread-id": thread_id,
				**aps_kwargs,
			},
			**extra,
			**message_kwargs,
		},
		**notification_request_kwargs_out,
	)

This is achived using aioapns internally in the module apns_async.py, ; then, you only need to instance your data following the definition of NotificationRequest. ans should be work.

I dont know exactly why at some point they make use aioapns or pyapns2 XD

Thanks for the quick response @GonzaloAvilez!

I ended up using aioapns directly for time-sensitive notifications, bypassing django-push-notifications for those specific cases. Built a small wrapper that checks if notification needs is_time_sensitive, constructs the payload manually with "interruption-level": "time-sensitive" in the aps dict and sends via aioapns NotificationRequest directly

aps_payload = {
    "alert": message,
    "sound": sound,
    "interruption-level": "time-sensitive",
}
# ... then send via APNs(key=...).send_notification(NotificationRequest(...))
