Here's another fun f-u from apple. they still don't allow us to silence DMs from muted people when decrypting push notifications. This is an entitlement you have to get from them which we have asked dozens of times and they refuse to give to us without any explanation.
Right now we can do this on our push notification server for old style DMs: check the user's mute list and not send the push notification if the user has muted the person.
We won't be able to do this with more secure DMs like nip17. We can't see who's sending the DM until we decrypt it on device. Without the entitlement we have to show the notification when we receive it, so spammers can spam notifications at you with new style DMs. Thanks apple.
the bigger issue is with nip17 dms on iOS. you need a special entitlement to not show push notifications. apple has never approved this entitlement for us, even after literally years of back and forth.
We would need that for notepush to deliver nip17 dms. We need to check to see if we've muted the person after we unwrap it in the push notification process.
just a heads up danieldaquino (npub13v4…l3l8) tyiu (npub1yau…vjmf) when it comes to nip17 notifications.
