React-native-push-notification: Illegal State Exception in Production for Android 8.0 using latest master commit

[braydo25]

Hello!

We're testing out 3.1.1 which doesn't seem to be on NPM just yet. We seem to be getting crashes on version 8.0+ of android in production related to the requestPermission call of the react-native-push-notification's library.

I've attached a screenshot of the crash.

I've a similar issue with Oreo.
Running version 3.1.1 on RN 0.56.

put a try catch works for me!
try {
GCMService.putExtra("senderID", senderID);
reactContext.startService(GCMService);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.d("EXCEPTION SERVICE::::::", "requestPermissions: " + e);
}

in -->
node_modules/react-native-push-notification/android/src/main/java/com/dieam/reactnativepushnotification/modules/RNPushNotification.java:115

I opened a PR at wix/react-native-notifications about this.
https://github.com/wix/react-native-notifications/pull/244

Something similar should fix this lib as well.

Can someone test the patch from @diegolmello ? We can merge after that.

[JakeRawr]

(Issue #803) #809 doesn't seems to solve the problem. It prevented the crash. But I don't think notification are received for 8.0+

we need to have implementation like @diegolmello

How can we make this work, having the same problem.

[martinzangl-santexgroup]

Hi all, any news when this fix would be released? thanks!

[AleXzpm]

Same here this is a problem on android 8.

[zabkwak]

Hi guys,

it seems the issue disappeared after I put

<meta-data android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name" android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME"/> <meta-data android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description" android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL DESCRIPTION"/>

into manifest.xml.

Tested just on Android 8.

[zabkwak]

@martingalovic is it related to this issue?
I can't be sure but it seems you're missing some dependencies according to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.

[martingalovic]

@zabkwak already solved it in #910
