This is the message that is being sent:\n\n```\nmessage = messaging.Message(\n  apns=messaging.APNSConfig(\n    live_activity_token=live_activity_token,\n    payload=messaging.APNSPayload(\n      aps=messaging.Aps(\n        alert=messaging.ApsAlert(\n          title=\"Live Activity Ended\",\n          body=\"Your live activity has been ended\",\n        ),\n        custom_data = {\n          \"event\": \"end\",\n          \"timestamp\": int(time.time()),\n          \"dismissal-date\": int(time.time()),\n          \"content-state\": {\n              \"myAttribute\": False\n          },\n          \"attributes-type\": \"MyObjectAttributes\",\n          \"attributes\": {\n              \"name\": \"name\"\n          },\n        },\n      ),\n      headers={\n        \"apns-priority\": \"5\",\n      },\n    ),\n  ),\n  data={ 'type': 'mytype' },\n  token=token\n)\n```\nAll the responses of the `messaging.send_each` method are successful (`response.success =\u003e True`) but the live activity does not end.\n\n#### Steps to reproduce:\n\nCurrently these are the steps to reproduce the issue:\n- Start a live activity with the `start` message\n- Send the `end` message via the `messaging.send_each` method\n- Check the responses, they should be successful\n- The live activity still displays on the device\n\nPS: this might be an issue with Firebase itself and not with the sdk, but I am not entirely sure.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/dr-contributor","@type":"Person","name":"dr-contributor"},"datePublished":"2025-08-30T08:23:08.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/909/firebase-admin-python/issues/909"}
