Unable to receive push notifications

Hi!

I used to have everything setup correctly. But suddenly push notifications stopped working.
The interesting part is that I can no longer accept push notifications when adding a new server. (Tried to remove and re-add my server)
The following page in the "add wizard" is impossible to progress from, without pressing "skip". Pressing "continue" just flashes the screen, but does not advance.
I used to be able to do that, and a friend of mine still can...

Any ideas on what might be the issue?
I can receive push notifications from other apps just fine...

Thanks!

What is your phone? iOS users still push notifications, but almost Android users don't get them.

oh, so this is a general issue for Android users?
Anyone working on updating the app?

I have an android 12 phone.

Saw just now that they posted info about the issue: https://blueirissoftware.com/?p=879

But I just updated the app, new version was released yesterday (17:th of September) but the issue persists...

Looks like it has experimental automatic ptz following as well. Let us know if it fixes Push.

Have been getting the push notifications.. sometimes has a image attached sometimes not.. todays update didnt fix the issue..

Back door 9 minutes apart one push notification has image attached one doesn't. none of the others cameras in the back sent a image right now, but my kid was in the back yard earlier playing and i was getting images left and right...

everything was working fine until google did whatever they did and broke it.

Per Ken, I deleted all Mobile Devices on BI server, uninstalled the BI phone app and reinstalled, then reboot phone, then re-enable Mobile Devices on the BI server. Make sure phone has all the correct permissions for notifications. Right now all 5 of my Android Pixel phones are getting low latency notifications again, all the way down to Android 8.1 devices. I did notice some small changes to the BI app menu after reinstalling app, so you cannot do just an update. As far as pics, I never got pics of triggers for years. I use sms notifications with pic added. Most people use Pushover app for trigger pics. Thanks for all of Ken's help!

I had forgot to update the BI server. My plan had expired...

Just now purchased an extended support and updated to 5.9.7.4 and everything seems to be working again :)

(With both new server and new app)
