Removing notifications on iOS

[jozsefsallai]

Hello!

Currently, it is possible to remove individual notifications on Android by calling the .removeNotification(int) method and there's also a method called .clearOneSignalNotifications() which will remove all app notifications (however this also only works on Android).

A few years ago it was mentioned that there will be a major version which will add this functionality to both the Android and iOS SDKs (OneSignal/OneSignal-iOS-SDK#646 (comment)), however, currently I can't seem to find any methods I can use for iOS.

Is this still planned or am I missing something obvious? Searching for removeDeliveredNotifications in the iOS SDK doesn't yield any results, which makes me assume this functionality wasn't implemented yet.

Are there any workarounds?

@jozsefsallai Thanks for digging in, there isn't a method in the current OneSignal SDK to clear notifications on iOS. However this can be worked around by setting the app's badge value to something like 1 then back to 0, iOS has a side effect with this where it will clear all notifications for the app. I don't believe Flutter has a way to set the iOS badge value, however a 3rd party library could be used to do so. As an example flutter_app_badger, but I have not used this to confirm it will work.

Hi @jkasten2 , is there a plan to add it?

Our users are hyper-annoyed that their push notifications never go away.

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to share that the ability to clear all notifications on iOS is now supported in our User Model SDKs!

Please upgrade to our latest release to use the Notifications.clearAll method. Please refer to our migration guide for full details!
