It is pretty common when starting to use apps that don't depend on Google services to not get notifications. Many struggle with inconsistent and sub-optimal notification strategies such as background sync via polling or a custom notifications service and need battery optimizations turned off. UnifiedPush allows for push notifications from a server or your choosing so those other methods don't need to be used.
ntfy FTW.
The app was generally able to send notifications just fine, through whatever way they used back when I tried it. Probably a websocket, since UnifiedPush is only now being introduced.
Just when I used the database encryption specifically, the app was fully locked down, and wouldn't send notifications out, then.
I'm just wondering if that is by design, or if I maybe just missed a crucial setting.
