APNs ignoring overrides

Hey all! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm currently using the APNs provider to send notifications to iOS devices. I've been testing it on my own device and it doesn't seem to be accepting overrides? I initially tried to set it up so it would use a sound that I provided. The sound worked when using the Apple Push Notification Console, but not when providing it through Novu. I also noticed that I can't send Time Sensitive notifications despite my app having the entitlement. I can provide code if needed, it currently just follows the format of:

novu.trigger("<name>", {
  to: {
    subscriberId: <id_variable>,
  },
  payload: {...},
  overrides: {
    apns: {
      payload: {
        aps: {
          sound: <sound_name>,
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

novu.trigger("<name>", {
  to: {
    subscriberId: <id_variable>,
  },
  payload: {...},
  overrides: {
    apns: {
      payload: {
        aps: {
          sound: <sound_name>,
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

I might just be tired and unable to figure it out? Is there any way around this? Thanks in advance!

Het @sbeve! Are you getting any error message when triggering the event via Novu? Also, I've wrote this comprehensive guide on sending Push notification to iOS using FCM as a provider, but also triggering the workflow by calling Novu's API. Please have a look, maybe it should shed a bit more light on your situation: https://docs.novu.co/guides/FCM-iOS-Novu/how-to-send-PUSH-notifications-to-iOS-devices-with-FCM-using-Novu This API request should work:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.novu.co/v1/events/trigger' \
     --header 'Authorization: ApiKey <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data-raw '{
         "name": "untitled",
         "to": {
           "subscriberId": "12345678"
         },
         "payload": {
           "title": "Notification With Sound",
           "body": "Hello World from Novu"
         },
         "overrides": {
             "apns": {
               "payload": {
                 "aps": {
                   "sound": "default" // configure sound to the notification
                 }
               }
             }
           }
         }
       }'

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.novu.co/v1/events/trigger' \
     --header 'Authorization: ApiKey <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --data-raw '{
         "name": "untitled",
         "to": {
           "subscriberId": "12345678"
         },
         "payload": {
           "title": "Notification With Sound",
           "body": "Hello World from Novu"
         },
         "overrides": {
             "apns": {
               "payload": {
                 "aps": {
                   "sound": "default" // configure sound to the notification
                 }
               }
             }
           }
         }
       }'

Also, can you please verify that you have configured the subscriber's credentials? https://docs.novu.co/api-reference/subscribers/update-subscriber-credentials Also, please consider checking this section: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/generating_a_remote_notification?language=objc
