Switch TRC push notifications from alert to background type. Alert-type pushes are silently dropped by iOS when Trio has not been granted notification permissions. Background push with content-available: 1 and priority 5 is delivered regardless, which is the correct mechanism for remote command delivery.

Summary
apns-push-type: alert(priority 10) toapns-push-type: background(priority 5)alertandinterruption-levelfields from the APNS payloadProblem
Remote bolus commands sent via Trio Remote Control appeared to succeed (APNS returned 200) but Trio never received or acted on them. Trio's logs showed no trace of an incoming push notification.
The root cause: when
apns-push-type: alertis used, iOS silently drops the notification if the receiving app (Trio) has not been granted notification permissions by the user. The command never reachedAppDelegate.didReceiveRemoteNotification.Fix
Background push notifications (
content-available: 1,apns-push-type: background, priority 5) are delivered by iOS regardless of notification permission status, which is the correct mechanism for remote command delivery. This matches Apple's documentation requirements — priority 5 is mandatory when usingapns-push-type: background.Test plan
