Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/1079

🐞 Describe the bug
I'm having trouble receiving notification updates in my app. I'm able to send and receive messages from my ntfy app on my iphone, but I have to keep refreshing the topic for the messages to be updated. I've cleared all the permissions for the app on iOS and I still can't receive the messages.

💻 Components impacted
Own ntfy server, Iphone 15 iOS 17.3.1, app version 1.3 (4)

🔮 Additional context
The problem does not occur when I use my second Android smartphone. I don't have to keep refreshing the topic to receive or send messages and I don't have a problem receiving messages on the smartphone's notification screen.

To get notifications working on iOS, you need to:

make sure upstream-base-url is set to "https://ntfy.sh"
make sure base-url is set to your full domain, including "https://" and without a trailing slash (e.g., https://ntfy.domain.com)
make sure the default server URL in the iOS app is set to your full domain, I including "https://" and without a trailing slash (it has to exactly match the base-url)

@wunter8 commented on GitHub (Mar 31, 2024): To get notifications working on iOS, you need to: 1) make sure `upstream-base-url` is set to "https://ntfy.sh" 2) make sure `base-url` is set to your full domain, including "https://" and without a trailing slash (e.g., `https://ntfy.domain.com`) 3) make sure the default server URL in the iOS app is set to your full domain, I including "https://" and without a trailing slash (it has to exactly match the `base-url`)

Thank you very much! I ended up getting excited when installing and didn't even see this part of the docs. It worked now wunter8.

To get notifications working on iOS, you need to:
. . .

make sure the default server URL in the iOS app is set to your full domain, I including "https://" and without a trailing slash (it has to exactly match the base-url)

Will things still work if a device subscribes to a topic on a custom domain while the default server URL is still set to https://ntfy.sh?

@adebisi-fa I think that will work fine as long as you set the server for that topic to "your full domain, including "https://" and without a trailing slash (it has to exactly match the base-url)"
