Does Push notification support in IOS?
No browser on iOS supports web push notifications, not even Safari. This is still a WIP. Safari did start supporting PWAs on iOS but without push notifications.
For Firebase we need unique APNs device token, this token allows you to target notification messages to this particular instance of the app.
In IOS PWA not able to get token for a particular device browser, so not identify the proper device to send the message.
