Unable to use UserNotifications' framework with Theos app in a jailbroken environment

[Luki120]

What are the steps to reproduce this issue?

1. Make a theos app, either Objective-C or Swift, doesn't matter.
2. Paste this in a viewDidLoad method or the equivalent:

UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .badge, .sound]) { _, _ in }

What happens?

Nothing

What were you expecting to happen?

For the app to display a stock iOS alert that asks the user wether they'd like to give access to the app to send them notifications

Paste any relevant logs, error output, etc.

No response

Additional context

This same code works in the same app if it's compiled as an ipa and sideloaded. My guess is that since the sideloaded app shows at the bottom of the settings app like if it was a regular app, that's what makes it work since iOS thinks it's a stock app and treats it like so.

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Linux/WSL

What OS version does it have installed?

Kubuntu 21.04

What toolchain and version are you using?

Swift toolchain 5.3.2

Which SDK version are you using?

iOS 14.5

What OS is your client device running?

iOS

What OS version does it have installed?

iOS 14.5.1

Which device model is it?

iPod touch 7th generation

Which jailbreak is it using (if relevant)?

Add SBAppUsesLocalNotifications true to your Info.plist, then notifications will work

@opa334 like this?

<key>SBAppUsesLocalNotifications</key>
<true/>

I'm not getting the stock alert

[opa334]

Yes, there will be no stock alert, notifications will just work (and they can be configured inside Settings -> Privacy too)

[Luki120]

I've tried this code but there's no notification

func postNotification() {
	let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()

	content.title = "Cathal"
	content.body = "Well done! You've completed a Pomodoro session. Starting break now.."
	content.sound = UNNotificationSound.default

	let trigger = UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger(timeInterval: 5, repeats: false)
	let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "pomodoroDone", content: content, trigger: trigger)

	UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request, withCompletionHandler: nil)
}

I'm calling it in .onAppear, which is like a viewWillAppear: from UIKit. Also I'm not seeing my app on Settings -> Privacy, or what should I be looking for there?

[opa334]

my bad, settings -> notifications is what you want to look at, also you still have to request authorization for notifications at least once before sending one, this won't show a permission alert tho because it's a system app

[Luki120]

@opa334, Still no notifs with this code :/

.onAppear {
	timerViewModel.requestAuthorization()
	DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 4) {
		timerViewModel.postNotification()
	}
}

But the app ain't showing up at all in that menu either, so ig the problem is something else. If you want to try it out here's the app. Appreciate the help anyways
