React-native-push-notification: onRegister the token null

[mikhi]

Hi,
great package so far.

I have a question which is related with an issue:
When i open the app for the first time (after install), the token is not generated. The token is null.

Which is the best approach to get the token if the onRegister method returns token as null?
Do i have to recall this function in other screen of the app?

Please help me with some code examples.
Maybe something like:

PushNotification.onRegister((token)=>{ console.log(token); });

Thanks,
Mihai

Same here

In XCode Capabilities tab you should turn on Push notifications

Same here, setup all as described, allowed push notifications but token is still null..

@mikhi have you found a way to make this work?

Are you using a real device ? Because on a simulator if will always be null apparently but I jsut tried on an iphone 6 and I got the TOKEN working.

My issue was caused by not turning on the Push notifications capability in XCode, but however iOS is a bit harder to setup than android, make sure the following:

1. correct implementation of this npm package as described in documentation
2. make sure the push notification capability is turned on in XCode
3. make sure you've correctly set up the certificates and provisioning profiles in Apple developer account (and also downloaded them inside XCode-Preferences-Account)

Hope this helps.

@hugoh1995 Yup its already working.. I use Reactotron for logging but somehow it doesn't show the token.. I just see it when I do console.log! I think its an issue on Reactotron... Thanks anyway..
