Testing Notifications on macOS

Quick Test Commands

1. Test Notification Immediately

To test if notifications are working, call this command from your frontend:

// This will initialize the notification system and show a test notification
await invoke('test_notification_with_auto_consent');

2. Initialize Notification System First

If you want to initialize the notification system manually:

// Initialize the notification system
await invoke('initialize_notification_manager_manual');

// Then show a test notification
await invoke('show_test_notification');

3. Recording Notifications

When you start recording, the app should automatically show a notification. The system will:

1. Check if notification manager is initialized
2. Automatically grant consent and permissions for testing
3. Show "Recording has started" notification

Expected Behavior on macOS

When working correctly, you should see:

• A native macOS notification appear in the top-right corner
• Title: "Meetily"
• Body: "Recording has started" (or test message)
• The notification should appear like system notifications (microphone detected, etc.)

Troubleshooting

If notifications don't appear:

1. Check macOS Notification Settings:

   • Go to System Preferences → Notifications & Focus
   • Find your app in the list
   • Ensure notifications are enabled

2. Check Do Not Disturb:

   • Make sure Do Not Disturb is off
   • Or use: await invoke('get_system_dnd_status') to check

3. Check Logs:

   • Look for log messages about notification initialization
   • Check for permission/consent messages

4. Manual Permission Request:

   javascriptCopy

   await invoke('request_notification_permission');
   

Available Commands for Testing

// System status
await invoke('is_notification_system_ready');
await invoke('get_system_dnd_status');
await invoke('get_notification_stats');

// Permissions and consent
await invoke('request_notification_permission');
await invoke('set_notification_consent', { consent: true });

// Testing
await invoke('test_notification_with_auto_consent');
await invoke('show_test_notification');

// Settings
await invoke('get_notification_settings');

Development Notes

• The notification system is designed to work like native macOS notifications
• For development/testing, consent and permissions are automatically granted
• The system respects Do Not Disturb settings
• All notification preferences are saved locally
