flutter notification iOS TestFlight

Question

I made an app in Flutter with notifications. on my physical device they arrive correctly, but I have published the app on TestFlight and the testers are unable to receive the notifications. the token is saved successfully. Does anyone know if I need to change/add anything once the app is published?

AppDelegate.swift

import UIKit
import Flutter
import flutter_local_notifications

@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
  override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.setPluginRegistrantCallback { (registry) in
        GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: registry)
    }

    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
      UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self as UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate
    }
    
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }
}

Since you are able to receive the notifications on your physical device, it seems like that APN and FCM tokens are configured properly.

You haven't added the request authorisation for Push Notifications in your AppDelegate file, this is required for all iOS devices to allow the app to receive push notifications.

You can use following code snippet to add the request prompt:

import UIKit
import Flutter
import Firebase


@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate, MessagingDelegate {
override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
 FirebaseApp.configure()
 Messaging.messaging().delegate = self
 GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)

  if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
    // For iOS 10 display notification (sent via APNS)
    UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self
    let authOptions: UNAuthorizationOptions = [.alert, .badge, .sound]
    UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(
            options: authOptions,
            completionHandler: {_, _ in })
} else {
    let settings: UIUserNotificationSettings =
    UIUserNotificationSettings(types: [.alert, .badge, .sound], categories: nil)
    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings)
}
application.registerForRemoteNotifications()
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }
   }
