To continue hearing notification sounds on your iPhone even when your Apple Watch is on your wrist, you will need to disable Notification Mirroring for the Pushover application which will stop showing any Pushover notifications on the Watch.  You can do this by opening the Watch app on your iPhone, then select Notifications, then uncheck Pushover.

Open the Shortcuts app, and tap the + button.

Tap the Add Action button.

Tap Web.

Then select Get Contents of URL.

Tap on the URL, and enter https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json and change the Method to POST.

Tap Add new field and add new fields for each required API parameter, such as token, user, message, etc.

For certain fields such as message and title, you may wish to insert variables which can be taken from other Shortcut actions to chain actions together.

This separate API was created for a few reasons:

1. Messages (notifications) are generally much longer than the amount of data that can fit in most Apple Watch complications which are limited to one or three short lines of text, or sometimes just a single number.
2. Messages can be received at any rate, while Apple Watch complication updates are severely rate limited by watchOS.  Attempting to update a complication every time a notification was received may cause the Pushover application to exceed its complication "budget" on watchOS and stop updating.

To update text on a Watch complication, you will need to send a request to our Glances API endpoint or use a supported service such as IFTTT to make a Glances API request on your behalf.

On rare occasions, the notification extension may fail to start for some reason and iOS will show the unencrypted text of the original notification, which is just the string "(Encrypted)".  Unfortunately we do not yet have a root cause for the notification extension failing to start.  We have heard from users that this problem may coincide with recently updating the app from the App Store, so we recommend first restarting the device to see if the problem is resolved.  If not, we recommend proceeding with these troubleshooting steps.

If you are experiencing a bug in our Pushover app, the first step is to reproduce the problem.  If you can't reproduce it, we probably can't either and won't be able to fix it.

Once you are able to reproduce the problem, tap the menu icon in the Pushover app, then tap Settings, then scroll down and tap Resolve a Problem.  Scroll down to the bottom and tap contact our support.  Choose "Bug report - iPhone/iPad app" as the request type and then include all of the relevant information in the Message field such as your steps for reproducing the problem.

Debug Logs

If you've been asked by Pushover support to send debug logs, tap the menu icon in the Pushover app, then tap Settings, then scroll down and tap Resolve a Problem.  Tap the menu button in the upper right corner, then tap Send Debug Info.  You may want to follow up with Pushover support to let us know you've sent them so we can correlate them with your problem report.

Crash Report

If you are unable to open the Pushover app, or not enough information was found in the debugging logs sent previously, you may be asked to generate a full crash report.

Locate analytics data

1. Reproduce the issue that you’re seeing which causes Pushover to crash.
2. Open the main Settings app and tap Privacy, then Analytics & Improvements at the bottom.
3. Tap Analytics Data and you'll see a list of all crashes for all applications on your device.  Scroll down to Pushover and tap on the newest crash timestamp.  Tap the share button in the upper right corner, and e-mail the file to support@pushover.net.
