notification permission support missing for android 13

[Adnan-Bacic]

i been looking into the push notification sections in the docs and it seems like it is missing android notification permission.

for ios there is this section:

https://github.com/exponea/exponea-react-native-sdk/blob/master/documentation/PUSH_IOS.md#5-authorizing-for-receiving-push-notifications

with a function called requestIosPushAuthorization.

the android part has no such functionality:

https://github.com/exponea/exponea-react-native-sdk/blob/master/documentation/PUSH_ANDROID.md

since android 13, android is now opt-in for notifications. a few examples from the android website:

https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications/notification-permission

https://source.android.com/docs/core/display/notification-perm

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/behavior-changes-13

i believe the sdk must be updated to support notification permission for android 13 with POST_NOTIFICATION

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>

so perhaps instead of just having a requestIosPushAuthorization function, there should just be a single requestPushAuthorization function for both platforms.

Hi @Adnan-Bacic we have a plan to update RN SDK with such a API method for android. Requesting for push permissions could be implemented by developer in final app, but we would like to help with this. Native Android SDK contains that API but it was delivered later than RN SDK. Next release should contains that method. Thank you for patience
