Steps To Reproduce

1. Follow steps to install and link push-notificaiton-ios
2. insert reproducible sample code below into app.js componentDidMount

Describe what you expected to happen:

1.App loads and ask for push notification permissions (this works) 2.Console logs the device token (does not work and no token is printed)

Reproducible sample code

async componentDidMount() { console.log('component did mount PushNotificationHandler') PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('register', token => { console.log("***** PushNotificationHandler CALLLEDDD ********************* ", token) Alert.alert(token) })

    PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('registrationError', registrationError => {
        console.log(registrationError, '-- *********************')
    })

    PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('notification', function(notification) {
        if (!notification) {
            return
        }
        const data = notification.getData()
        Alert.alert(JSON.stringify({ data, source: 'CollapsedApp' }))
    })

    PushNotificationIOS.getInitialNotification().then(notification => {
        if (!notification) {
            return
        }
        const data = notification.getData()
        Alert.alert(JSON.stringify({ data, source: 'ClosedApp' }))
    })
    PushNotificationIOS.requestPermissions()

}

Hi, I think this issue is not only related to register. Same issue seems to occur on notification event and is not triggered.

[schumannd]

Experiencing the same issue. Using react-native-push-notification which in turn uses this package. Any updates?

Edit: So the callback is only not triggered, when building the app in debug mode. Release build works.

Same issue +1

[hpiso]

I managed to make it work by requesting the permission first, then calling the listener in the callback of checkPermission()

Example:

PushNotificationIOS.requestPermissions();

PushNotificationIOS.checkPermissions(function () {
    PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('register', (token) => {
        console.log("MyAPNSTOKEN", token)
    })
});

I always get the apnsToken now, hope it can help

Rebooting my device helped. Following this note: https://github.com/react-native-community/push-notification-ios/pull/97/files

[bragovo]

Same thing. Old project (worked fine few months ago) without any commits not working anymore — no errors, no token. Reboot not helped, trying another device — not working. I try to create new empty projects (0.62.0 and 0.62.2) only with this package — same result. My current project (0.62.2) working fine yesterday morning stoped working at evening )) How I can find APN log? Console, Flipper, Analytics Ddta show nothing.

Putting listeners in checkPermissions not helped too.

[lumberman]

certificates are up-to-date?

[bragovo]

Sure.

Capabilities enabled:

I can upload empty example app on github.

[bragovo]

https://github.com/bragovo/push-example - this is example app. Alert in simulator and nothing on any real devices (7, XS, SE).

I'm using [email protected] and [email protected]. And the following codes are working for me.

// e.g. 1
PushNotificationIOS.requestPermissions();
PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('register', (token) => {
    console.log("MyAPNSTOKEN", token);
});

// e.g. 2
PushNotificationIOS.requestPermissions().then(() => {
    PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('register', (token) => {
        console.log("MyAPNSTOKEN", token);
    });
});

Thanks for @hpiso's comment.

[titoasty]

Any news on this issue? Facing the same problem.

EDIT: Ok after many investigations, I concluded it's a phone/apple cache problem. I had to uninstall the app, uninstall test flight, stop wifi & reboot the phone 2 times. (messing between testflight version & dev version probably didn't help).

And tada! It magically worked again! So as said @lumberman, rebooting phone/uninstalling app and trying to clean the phone should help. Hope it'll help, good luck!

I was able to get the token by making changes to my AppDelegate.mm file. Removed all notification related code recommended by README install section and replaced with: //top of file: #import <RNCPushNotificationIOS.h> #import <UserNotifications/UserNotifications.h>

//bottom of file before @end #pragma mark - Notifications

// Required to register for notifications

• (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings { [RNCPushNotificationIOS didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings]; } // Required for the register event.
• (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken { [RNCPushNotificationIOS didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:deviceToken]; } // Required for the notification event. You must call the completion handler after handling the remote notification.
• (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler { [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:completionHandler]; } // Required for the registrationError event.
• (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error { [RNCPushNotificationIOS didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:error]; } // Required for the localNotification event.
• (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification { [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveLocalNotification:notification]; }

Hope this helps others who are having the same issue of not producing an APNS token.

this is EXACTLY the same code as the documentation

I had the same problem, I checked AppDelegate and checked a few "fixes" and I found a solution. I'm firstly set up a listener and after that, I requestPerrmissions (previously I've used listeners when an alert from requestPermissions was true). I found this idea here. So currently (pseudocode):

const registerPushNotifications = async () => {
  PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('register', deviceToken => {
    I'm saving Token from here
  })
  PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('notification', showNotification)
}

const unregisterPushNotifications = () => {
  PushNotificationIOS.removeEventListener('notification', showNotification)
  PushNotificationIOS.removeEventListener('register', registerTokenCallback)
}

const someFunction = async () => {
  await registerPushNotifications();
  
  PushNotificationIOS.requestPermissions().then(def => {
     if (!def.alert) {
      unregisterPushNotifications()
     }
   })
}
