React-native-onesignal: IOS: how to remove notification request on app launch?

[Luckygirlllll]

Description:
I want to delay requesting push notifications. How to do this?

(your description here)

Environment
"react-native-onesignal": "^3.2.12",
I added oneSignal using nom, I have ExpoKit project

I have tried to add this line to AppDelagate.m, but I got Xcode error:

"Property 'oneSignal' not found on object of type 'AppDelegate *'

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import <React/RCTPushNotificationManager.h>

@implementation AppDelegate

// Put your app delegate methods here. Remember to also call methods from EXStandaloneAppDelegate superclass
// in order to keep Expo working. See example below.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.oneSignal = [[RCTOneSignal alloc] initWithLaunchOptions:launchOptions
                                                           appId:@"your-app-id"
                                                        settings:@{kOSSettingsKeyAutoPrompt : @NO}];

    return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];

}

@end

Hello,
It sounds like you are following the native SDK reference. Please make sure to look at React Native's SDK docs which has a bit of a different init process. This is actually done in your App.js or whatever your root component file is.

@rgomezp yes, I followed that documentation and that exactly how I added One signal push notifications library, everything is in App.js file, my question is how to delay notification permission request in that case? or remove it?

@rgomezp take a look here https://github.com/geektimecoil/react-native-onesignal/issues/108#issuecomment-491276096

Hello,
You shouldn't need to do anything in any of the native files. Everything you need can be done in JS. In your initialization, call OneSignal.init(appId, {kOSSettingsKeyAutoPrompt : false}); and then simply register for push in your own custom timer.
