@amitbravo In response to each of your issues:

1) requestPermissions() is now requestPermission() to match the web SDK.
2) subscribeToTopic() is currently not a Promise, but will be changed for the next release candidate so that it is

can I still use subscribeToTopic() without .then(.... ?

You can indeed

I'm facing the exact same issue with the syntax given in the docs.

Here is the description -

Package.json -

"react-native-firebase": "4.0.0-rc.3",

Usage -

    componentDidMount(): void {
        this.connectToFirebase();
    }

    connectToFirebase = (): void => {
        // I've tried using this with async-await, tried 
        // resolving the promise using .then. I also tried calling hasPermission. Same issue. 
        firebase.messaging().requestPermission(); 

        registerNotificationListener(this.onNotification);
        registerMessageListener(this.onMessage);
    }

Error -
When calling requestPermission directly (Without resolving the promise) -
