trying to understand why push notifications is failing

[netuser01]

Hello,

I'm new to XMPP and would like to use the Chatsecure app. I'm currently using the latest version of Chatsecure 5.0.4. I don't have the infrastructure to host a private xmpp server so I'm trying to use the public ones like jabber.de, or conversations.im, and jabber.5july.net. I go to test my ios device running IOS 15.5. What is happening is the push notifications even though they are enabled, I am not receiving the messages when Chatsecure is in the background or closed.

What is missing on the public servers to work to enable them to push to the ios devices when Chatsecure is not in the foreground? Is there special software they have to enable to allow this to work or am I doing something wrong or missing something? Or is there a public server that I don't know about which implements these features fully?

Thanks for your help.

Hi! I would recommend checking out alternative clients like Monal or Siskin instead

Hi! I would recommend checking out alternative clients like Monal or Siskin instead

Does either of those support omemo encryption?

Both do, groups too, yes.

From where you are using omemo encryption for iOS application?

  }

I am failed in case

@chrisballinger can you share how to come out from this?

Yes, switch already to Monal....
