IOS. Custom sound for push notifications by Expo API

Summary

I try to send push notification with custom sound property to IOS device using expoPushToken and Expo API and get error. Request: curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST "https://exp.host/--/api/v2/push/send" -d '[{"to":"ExponentPushToken[XXXXXXX]","body":"hello","sound":"ca_ching.wav"}]' Response: {"errors":[{"code":"VALIDATION_ERROR","message":"\"[0].sound\" must be one of [default, null, object].","isTransient":false}]}%

Am I rightly understand that exists only one way to use custom sound for push notifications for IOS - it’s use APNS API directly without Expo API?

Thanks! Expo the best! ❤️

I think all that is required is to change the validation in the SDKs and server-side to allow sound to be a custom string

You’re correct, Expo’s push service doesn’t support custom notification sounds yet, although the client-side API (expo-notifications) does, this way you can use FCM & APNs directly if you need that functionality. We’re looking into adding in support soon

Would love to see this supported in the Expo Push Notification Service! We’ve installed expo-notifications config plugins not knowing this is not supported 😂
