Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/629

Unifiedpush dont works on iodeos with microg.
Ntfy Github fdroid Version.
Push messages with curl from terminal works great.

But unifiedpush dont works. Tested with fedilab, tusky and fluffychat.

If I use unifiedpush with conversations an its integrated pushserver it works perfekt.

Additional information:
ntfy also stopped working on Samsung devices after the latest firmware update (Android 13).
Tested with Tusky and Fedilab on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

This is not enough information.

Both ntfy on Android and the ntfy server have significant logging capabilities. Please post some logs or investigate further:

ntfy Android: Settings -> Record logs
ntfy server: Turn "log-level: DEBUG or TRACE"

Well the log file doesn't show anything except for the NtfySubscriberConn entries telling "Connection is active" which show up every 30 seconds.
I received some notifications in the meanwhile, but none of the show up in the log in any way.

It worked perfectly fine until I guess last week when I received the latest Samsung firmware updates.
After that update ntfy stopped working.

Edot: In the meanwhile some additional entries showed up.

So here is the link to the log

Perhaps it helps...

@S1m approached me and explained the actual problem. It seems that some app servers send an Authorization header to ntfy, even though they do not need or should. As of 2.0, ntfy treats the existence of that header as an attempt to authenticate.

In order to support these faulty servers, I'll make a change to treat any headers that are not Basic or Bearer as if they did not exist.
