extension UNUserNotificationCenter { | |
func removeDeliveredNotificationsAsync(withIdentifiers identifiers: [String]) async { | |
// Calls to `UNUserNotificationCenter.current().removeDeliveredNotifications` schedule work | |
// on a background thread, with no completion handler or async/await interface. There is no | |
// way to know whether the work completed or not. If the notification service extension exits | |
// before the work has been completed, the work is cancelled and notifications are not removed. | |
// | |
// This is really poor API design on Apple's part, and even poorer documentation | |

removeDeliveredNotifications(withIdentifiers: identifiers) | |
// It appears that deliveredNotifications waits for the background work to complete before | |
// returning itself (tested on iOS 16). If this proves to be unreliable, then a timer (sigh) | |
// or iteration over deliveredNotifications will also work. | |
await deliveredNotifications() | |
