I'm using v5.0.5 and have the same problem. Is there any update regarding this issue?

@v12cicd I solved my problem. It seems, that the error message FATAL: OneSignal AppId: (null) - AppId is null or format is invalid, stopping initialization. has no negative effects. My problem was the buildOptimizer when building on prod configuration. Setting it to false in angular.json solved the problem.

After changing OneSignal.Debug.setLogLevel(LogLevel.Verbose); to OneSignal.Debug.setLogLevel(6); I could activate the buildOptimizer and everything works fine. Try it and let me know!

Happens for me in Capacitor with 5.1.0 as well. As mentioned here, a small timeout seems to fix it.

Anyways it has negative effects, because the subscription id is null in the sdk if this happens.

On Ionic / Angular you can add the following line before the OneSignal Plugin Initialization:

await this.platform.ready();

This also seems to fix the error!

For anyone coming to this thread who uses Meteor (Cordova under the hood) I found this worked:

// Accounts.onLogin()
if (Meteor.isCordova) {
    console.log("isCordova - setting up push notifications");
    // This only runs when the device is ready - jQuery .ready() function shorthand (recommended)
    $(setupNotifications)
  }

function setupNotifications() {
  console.log("In setupNotifications")
  OneSignal.Debug.setLogLevel(6)
  OneSignal.initialize(oneSignalAppID)
  
  console.log("Logging into OneSignal with userID",Meteor.userId())
  OneSignal.login(Meteor.userId())

  OneSignal.Notifications.requestPermission(true).then((accepted) => {
    console.log("User accepted notifications: ",accepted);
});
}

Hi everyone, since you are using one of our cross-platform SDKs, this is a misleading error message that prints from the integration of our cross platform SDK with our native iOS SDK.

Please check your logs to see if the following prints after the FATAL log, that the App ID is successfully set, so you can safely ignore the error log.

VERBOSE: setAppId called with appId: abcd-1234-abcd-1234
VERBOSE: launchOptions is set and appId of abcd-1234-abcd-1234 is set, initializing OneSignal...

This is an alarming error log and misleading, we will work on suppressing or rewording the log.

If you are seeing other issues or side-effects, please open a new issue with your description.
