I have the same issue on iOS. As suggested elsewhere I added an event listener for registrationError to get more information.

PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener('registrationError', (e) => console.log(error);

In the iOS simulator it logs a message that onRegister is not supported in the simulator. That was expected.

I am bugsnag to keep track of my errors in production but strange enough the event listener is not triggered in a testflight build. I am sure onRegister is not called in production since I store the token in the component's state and print it in the render function of App.js.

• Entitlements are set in XCode (via capabilities)
• APNS is configured via the Apple Developer console

RN version is on 0.57.8

I have got it working on iOS!

Not 100% sure what fixed it though. I think that the trick was to move PushNotifictions.configure({) from componentDidMount to the constructor! I can't give a logic explanation why it works now.

Another important thing: if your onRegister function is NOT an ES6 array function you can not access the this context of a class component. So in other words, if you try to call this.setState or this.props.someReduxActionCreator it will not work.

class PushHandler extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    PushNotification.configure({
      onRegister: token => { 
        // Calling the redux action creator that was mapped to the props via mapDispatchToProps
        props.updateUserKey({ deviceToken: token });
        // Or store it in AsyncStorage, or in my case RNSecureStorage.
        RNSecureStorage.set('deviceToken', JSON.stringify(token), {
          accessible: ACCESSIBLE.WHEN_UNLOCKED
        });
      },
      onNotification: notification => {
        Alert.alert(JSON.stringify(notification));
      },
     ...

@timkuilman does this work for iOS simulator?

I had the same experience, my solution was uninstall the app and install it again, maybe it is something cached based on a different lib

I need help, I still can't get the device token, there are no more errors at all, the onRegister is not returning the token at all. I am using external device IOS.
