Hi,



I'm trying to block notifications for the BBC News app at my school (too many irrelevant pushes during the day).



When I go to configure the notifications for the app, I search in the Notifcations payload and an app called BBC News comes up with a bundle identifier of uk.co.bbc.news.



This didn't mute the notifications, sadly, so I eventually discovered that the UK version has a bundle identifier of uk.co.bbc.newsuk instead.



However, I can't edit the bundle identifier separately from the app name and it seems like the index for that pop ups might be built from a different country's App Store than the one I'm using.



Does anyone have a suggestion for how to work around this?



Thanks.

Why not just restrict the app itself from running?

Well, we do want to use the app, I just don't want its notifications firing off noisily.

Turns out the answer is just to type in and save the exact bundle ID you want into the notifications payload, whether it autocompletes or not.
