Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by locating the iOS implementation of the Firebase notification plugin and compare its permission APIs with the referenced diagnostic methods. Done means exposing checks for remote-notification registration and notification-banner status, with coverage for both results.

Description

Problem description

There is no way to check if the push notification permissions have been enabled. It is a common use case to check if the user really did grant the permission or not in order to display a corresponding message to him and would be required for apps, which primary rely on push notifications to function properly.

(Currently, this could be done using a plugin like cordova-plugin-diagnostics, however it declares generic description for various iOS permissions, which might not be desired for production apps.)
