Steps To Reproduce

1. Start the app react-native run-ios The request permission popup displays, but the token is not logged (or alerted) I need to get the token to move forward with dev.

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. The token to be logged / alerted after permission granted (in onRegister as in your docs)

Reproducible sample code

/initialize.js

export const configureApn = () => {
    PushNotification.configure({
        // user accepted notification permission - register token
        onRegister: function (tokenData) {
            const { token } = tokenData;
            window.alert(token);
            console.log('APN TOKEN PLEASE', token);
            // handle device token
            // send token to server...
            // store in AsyncStorage...
        },
        // notification received / opened in-app event
        onNotification: function (notification) {
            notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
        },
        // outlining what permissions to accept
        permissions: {
            alert: true,
            badge: true,
            sound: true
        },
        popInitialNotification: true,
        requestPermissions: true
    });
};

app/index.js
import { configureApn } from './initialize';

configureApn();
AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

Im lost or this is just not working. I've followed the docs: npm install -> pod install -> using autolinking.

Thank you

Hi @digitlninja Are you testing on real device ?

[digitlninja]

yes

[Dallas62]

Did you follow the ios installation instructions ? (On the iOS repository)

[digitlninja]

Yes, from: https://github.com/react-native-push-notification-ios/push-notification-ios#install

• up until Migrating from the core react-native module It feels like onRegister isnt firing.

[Dallas62]

Not able to reproduce with the exemple project. Please double check your installation and take a look to the exemple project. And make sure you tested with a real device, simulator doesn't support notifications.

[digitlninja]

What example project ?? Yes Im testing only on a real device. I need to sort this urgently

[digitlninja]

Ive double checked my install many times... the way its done in the example project is a different more complex architecture. Ive simply initialized it as above and it should give me the token / fire onRegister when the app starts.... it doesnt.

Since I can't reproduce, I cannot help you more.

[digitlninja]

You havent helped at all though... what am I missing?

[Dallas62]

I don't know I'm not able to reproduce.

[digitlninja]

I think I fixed it.. The docs say not to invoke configure from a lifecycle method. so how can one pass the token to components???

[Dallas62]

You can store the token inside a variable, such as a global variable.
