 @brugeman I have testing out nsec.app which I love the concept of.  I’m on an iPhone and things seem to be hit or miss. Having trouble with clients or the Push notifications. I’ve been able to connect to highlighter using the Nostr address and  connect to coracle but only using the bunker URL. But I can’t seem to get shipyard or Flare to connect. And there is no notification in shipyard or flare when attempting. Let me know if there is any information I can add. 

In the instruction on nsec.app I see the note on allowing push APi for iOS. When I created the PWA for nsec.app I did enable notifications for the app which I think is the same thing. But just a note that I couldn’t find anything in advanced settings to toggle “Push APi” I presume this would be on a Mac?

 Me too. Flare doesn't connect and that makes me angry. 
 Good morning 
 Thanks a lot for the input. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue with Coracle on iOS, but I know it's there, thanks for the reminder. Shipyard needs an update to support the up-to-date nip46, for now it seems to only support nsecbunker.com (their custom connection strings). Flare doesn't seem to take nip46 bunker relays signalled by a provider into account and tries to communicate over random public relays (cc @zach)

I don't have up to date iPhone to test properly, but it sounds like you have enabled the push API. The way to check it is - try using highlighter with all nsec.app tabs closed. if you're able to like/reply/etc then it's working fine (nsec.app PWA receiving push messages to wake up and sign events). If it's not working without an nsec.app tab open, then we need to look for some Push API button somewhere.

Please let me know if you actually do more tests. Thank you! 
 Here is a note from highlighter with nsec.app closed and not in the background.
 
 And I’m not sure what I am doing differently now but I can login to coracle with the Nostr address.  
 That's why I can't reproduce this issue, sometimes it does work and sometimes not :( 
 Awesome, so you have everything working on iOS, that's a win! Thank you! 
 It will take time for clients to catch up but it’s thrilling to see PWAs working, nsec.app replaces the nostr safari plugin which isn’t exposed for PWAs for some frustrating reason. Nice work.
