Push notifications are not working when a new user is added to an ongoing call.

"@stream-io/video-client": "^1.27.0"

Describe the bug

Push notifications are not working when a new user is added to an ongoing call.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

First, we start the call using the following method:

await call.getOrCreate({
ring: true,
data: {
members: [
{ user_id: agentId },
{ user_id: callUserData?.userId ?? '', role: 'admin' },
],
},
});

This works correctly and the initial users receive the call notification as expected.

Then, we try to add another member to the existing call using this method:

await this.call.updateCallMembers({
update_members: [
{
user_id: this.driverId,
role: 'admin',
},
],
});

The user is successfully added to the call, but no push notification is sent to the newly added user.

Expected behavior

We expect the newly added mobile user to receive a push notification indicating that they have been added to a call, and that they can join the call directly from the notification.

Additional details

We are using different SDKs/libraries for each application (web, mobile, and backend).

We would like to know if using different libraries/SDK versions across platforms could be affecting push notification delivery or causing any unintended side effects.

SDKs used per platform:

Web:

"@stream-io/video-client": "^1.27.0"

Mobile:
stream_video (Flutter): ^0.11.0

Backend:
"@stream-io/node-sdk": "^0.5.1",

Hi @mbustamante-tg, thanks for reaching out and filing this issue.

This is the designed behavior. Updating the call members on the fly doesn't emit a push notification, as we can't know the actual intent. But we understand the need, so we have additional APIs to support these use cases:

Can you check the guide and let us know if it helps?
