Push notifications in MAUI iOS App - how to reach Azure Notification Hubs?

Ben K 61

I am working on upgrading a Xamarin mobile app to MAUI. So far, things are mostly going smoothly, but I've run into trouble on the iOS side of things.

The old version of the app needed to receive push notifications from the remote server. I accomplished this by using Azure Notification Hubs, and the Xamarin.Azure.NotificationHubs NuGet package.

The Android version of this package is compatible with MAUI, so there's no trouble there. However, the iOS version of this package is not (it's based on Xamarin.iOS), so I need to find a MAUI-compatible way to interface with Azure Notification Hubs on iOS.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Any news ? Even an approximation on the quarter would be appreciated.
We are porting our Xamarin application to MAUI. The Android version is ready and we're just missing the notifications on IOS.

It's still not time to move to net7 mobile platforms. I tried and discovered bug - SSL Stream is broken on Android 8 and lower - I'm glad that at least good old Xamarin.Android is working. On iOS I miss Azure Notification Hubs or crash reporting - App center.

Any update on this from the product team? We want our .NET MAUI app to receive push notifications via Azure Notification Hub, since our app will run on all 3 platforms.

Sorry, this was a question (again), not the answer.

Edited: I converted it to a comment my previous post.

Thanks

HI Team,

Could you please confirm on Xamarin.Azure.NotificationHubs.IOS NuGet package support in MAUI or not and also suggest any package which is relevant to IOS package if the above package is not available.

Thanks

It's been more than a year since the question was asked, any updates on MAUI iOS support library for Azure Hub notification, I am also trying to migrate from Xamarin Forms to MAUI - would need the support for both Android & iOS.
