Bug Report

Reproduction

1. Open the app and navigate to the Activity Center (AC).
2. Ensure there are no notifications in the All tab.
3. Observe the content displayed in the All tab.

Expected behavior

The All tab should display an empty-state illustration and message, similar to other tabs when they have no notifications.

Actual behavior

The All tab appears completely empty, without an illustration and message, unlike other tabs.

All tab	Other tab

A few new notification types were introduced in this PR: status-im/status-go#6255

You can see the newly introduced types here:
https://github.com/status-im/status-go/blob/f281ca0a805b5482fc071bf9760e26e18b02118d/protocol/activity_center.go#L45-L48

These were implemented on desktop in this PR, but as far as I can tell, they haven’t been implemented on mobile yet. This seems to be causing the "All" tab to appear empty, even when there's notification data available.

One thing I don't quite understand is that this seems like a process that should only happen when recovering an old account, but it's happening even for newly created accounts. I'll create a detailed issue in the desktop repo.

Update:
Desktop Issue: status-im/status-desktop#17852

[ajayesivan]

We already have an open issue (status-desktop#17555) to address the unexpected notification data problem. Since this is related to status-go, I believe the fix will apply to mobile as well.

What we now need is implementing the missing AC notifications for fetching profile details.

@Horupa-Olena, do we already have an issue tracking this?

[Horupa-Olena]

@ajayesivan Thanks for your work!
We don't have any issue for this type of notification because it isn't implemented on mobile. Honestly, there are more notifications like this that are not implemented on our side. For example:

ActivityCenterNotificationTypeBackupSyncingFetching
ActivityCenterNotificationTypeBackupSyncingSuccess
ActivityCenterNotificationTypeBackupSyncingPartialFailure
ActivityCenterNotificationTypeBackupSyncingFailure

I can create a ticket for implementation if needed. @ilmotta What do you say?

[ajayesivan]

Also need designs for the AC notifications.

Thanks @Horupa-Olena, it's important to have the issues ready with the correct requirements for @ajayesivan.

Good catch @ajayesivan on finding the issue from desktop where new AC types were implemented.

Do you have access and can you find the new notification designs from this new public index in Figma? https://www.figma.com/design/aS0Yx5Un99ZXAQWciP3Dy1/Status-Design-Index?node-id=2-14211&m=dev

If there are no designs yet for Mobile then you can request them to the design team via @xAlisher.

[ajayesivan]

Thank you @ilmotta! I have access to the design file but couldn’t find the designs for the new “Fetching profile details” notification.

@xAlisher Could you please help me with the relevant designs or share them if they’re available? Thanks!

[ajayesivan]

From what I understand from status-go, we have a total of 29 notification types, out of which only 11 are currently supported on mobile. I'm not sure which additional notifications we plan to support in the near future.

In the meantime, @ilmotta, what do you think about filtering out the unsupported notification types to avoid showing an empty screen and prevent the original bug reported in this issue?

All notification types:

	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeNewOneToOne
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeNewPrivateGroupChat
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeMention
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeReply
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeContactRequest
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeCommunityInvitation
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeCommunityRequest
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeCommunityMembershipRequest
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeCommunityKicked
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeContactVerification
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeContactRemoved
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeNewKeypairAddedToPairedDevice
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeOwnerTokenReceived
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeOwnershipReceived
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeOwnershipLost
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeSetSignerFailed
	ActivityCenterNotificationTypeSetSignerDeclined

what do you think about filtering out the unsupported notification types to avoid showing an empty screen and prevent the original bug reported in this issue?

Good suggestion 👍🏼 @ajayesivan, just that instead of filtering out (blocklist) we can go for an allowlist of notifications, which will guarantee we never again see this type of bug due to missing notifications.

I'm not sure which additional notifications we plan to support in the near future.

Ideally all Status' clients support almost identical notification types, but there's no plan to add support for more notification types in mobile right now due to other priorities.

If you are interested in adding support for more notification types in the mobile app, the Mobile CCs can re-analyze the types we want to support and align with the Design team, create GH issues, and add the relevant acceptance criteria. Let me know if that's of interest to you. Thank you
