I apologize, but I couldn't find a direct answer to your specific issue about iOS browsers not asking for permission to enable push notifications in the provided information sources. However, I can provide some relevant information and suggestions based on the available documentation.
For iOS push notifications using Novu, the documentation primarily focuses on native iOS app implementations rather than web browsers (1) (2) . The process typically involves setting up Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) integration and requesting permission within the app (1) (2) (3) .
It's worth noting that web push notifications on iOS browsers have limitations. As of my last update, iOS Safari doesn't support web push notifications, which could explain why you're not seeing the permission prompt on iOS browsers.
For your specific case, here are a few points to consider:
1. Ensure you're using the correct implementation for iOS devices. The documentation provides examples for native iOS apps using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) (1) [(2)](https://docs.novu.co/guides/FCM-iOS-Novu/h

2. If you're specifically trying to implement web push notifications, be aware that iOS Safari doesn't support this feature, which explains why you're not seeing the permission prompt.
3. For Android, the process seems to be working as expected, which aligns with the broader support for web push notifications on Android browsers (4) .
