Platform(s)

Current Behaviour

run:

await LocalNotifications.schedule({
          notifications: [
            {
              id: Math.floor((Math.random() * 1000000) + 1),
              title: 'A Title',
              body: 'Some Body',
              schedule: {
                on: {
					weekday: w, // a day of the week
					hour: h, // some hours that week
				},
                every: 'week',
                allowWhileIdle: true,
              },
            }
          ]
        });

Expected Behaviour

Receiving a notification from the first occurrence.
So, If on Monday the 1st, I set a notification to go every Tuesday at 12pm.
I should receive a notification on Tuesday the 2nd.

What happen:

The notification is not sent on the First Tuesday of the occurrence.
It is sent the Tuesday the following week.
But not on the first Tuesday.
This happens to Android device.
So, the workaround is to manually set that missing notification.
But then iOS users will receive 2 notifications on the first Tuesday.

Thank you to fix this.

This issue needs more information before it can be addressed.
In particular, the reporter needs to provide a minimal sample app that demonstrates the issue.

Hi Ionitron,

It's too easy to reproduce to spend time making a new sample app.

Just create an empty project
add the @capacitor/local-notifications
add the code from the bug report to the onload function

Nothing else to do here.
You can even test it from an existing app.
