iOS - Images not showing following upgrade to v16.1.0

[yousrasd]

Hello,

In our app, we use firebase messaging to send push notifications. Our app has a notification service extension (https://rnfirebase.io/messaging/ios-notification-images) so that images sent along a push notification appear.
Previously, our app was using firebase/messaging v 14.10.1. Images in push notifications appeared.
But following the upgrade of our app to firebase/messaging v 16.1.0, images no more show up when a push notification is received on an iphone. This works fine on Android device. So the issue is only on iOS.
Ive been looking at ways to fix this, but so far I do not see what is wrong. I looked at the change log of react-native-firebase (diff between v14.10.1 and 16.1.0) but i didnt spot any major change related to images.

Is anyone running into the same issue or has any clue/idea on how to fix this?

🤔 hmmm

This sounds like an issue, but is missing all the details that could lead to anyone helping - https://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask / https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example

The main difference between v14 and v16+ is the move to firebase-ios-sdk versions that require use_frameworks! :linkage => :static - I'm not sure if that could affect this or not. It would be interesting to know exactly where the problem happens, with regard to versions. What I mean specifically is a bisect of the versions which (if I remember my math correctly...) will provably result in an answer in 7 or fewer tests, and typically more like 3-4. Our https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md contains details of every change for every release, so knowing which version breaks could help isolate why it breaks for you

Thank you @mikehardy for your reply

The issue is actually the use_frameworks!. When we upgraded to the latest version, we did not add it.
When I tried adding it, I run into bunch of linking issues with GoogleMaps, so had to upgrade to RN 0.70 first. And now, I retried upgrading to the latest react-native-messaging (I declared the use_frameworks!) and it works!! We are getting push notifications with images
