Push notifications
Integrating push notifications in React Native requires setting up each native platform separately. Follow the respective guides listed to finish the installation.
Step 1: Complete native setup
- Android: Follow the Android integration instructions.
- iOS: Follow the iOS integration instructions.
Step 2: Test displaying push notifications
At this point, you should be able to send notifications to the devices. Adhere to the following steps to test your push integration.
important:
You can’t test push notification related app behavior on an iOS simulator because simulators don’t support the device tokens required to send and receive a push notification.
- Set an active user in the React application by calling
ReactAppboy.changeUserId('your-user-id')
method. - Head to Campaigns and create a new push notification campaign. Choose the platforms that you’d like to test.
- Compose your test notification and head over to the Test tab. Add the same
user-id
as the test user and click Send Test. You should receive the notification on your device shortly.
