What's Wrong?

Push notifications that Claude Code sends to the Claude iPhone app through Remote Control (the PushNotification tool) show up in Notification Center, but they arrive silently: no sound and no vibration.

This is the same symptom as #53709 ("Remote Control push notifications have no sound or vibration on iOS"). That issue was closed as fixed on 2026-05-26 and locked on 2026-07-23, so I can't comment on it, but the problem is still happening for me.

What Should Happen?

The notification should play the alert sound and vibrate, as notifications from other apps do with the same iOS settings.

Error Messages/Logs

No error. The tool reports success: "Terminal notification sent. Mobile push requested."
Example push: 2026-10-05, around 19:47 UTC.

Steps to Reproduce

Run Claude Code on macOS with Remote Control connected to the Claude app on an iPhone.
Have Claude send a push notification, for example by asking it to notify you when a long-running task finishes (it calls PushNotification).
The notification appears on the iPhone with no sound and no vibration.

iOS settings for the Claude app: notifications allowed, Sounds and Banners on, no Focus mode active, and Claude not included in Scheduled Summary.

Claude Model

Opus

Is this a regression?

I don't know. It was reported before in #53709 and closed as fixed.

Additional Information

#53709 suggested the APNs payload is sent without sound, which would make the notification silent whatever the iOS settings are.
