Push notifications in builds

Push notifications in production builds

Hey. I have an issue with push notification in the production builds of an app. I have tested many things including to switch from my own build server to expos server but that didn’t help either. With the expo app it gets the token, but with a production build it just does nothing.

Used code to get the token

pushKeyGet = async () => {
        const { status: existingStatus } = await Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS)
        let finalStatus = existingStatus

        if (finalStatus !== 'granted') {
            return Alert.alert("Fehler", "Ohne die Zustimmung können wir Ihnen keine Nachrichten schicken.");
        }

        let token = await Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync()
        await this.storeData(token, "@ep/notif/token")

        fetch(config.apiserver + "/addPushKey", {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
            body: JSON.stringify({
                token: token
            })
        }).then(result => result.json()).then(async res => {
            if (res.request.status != "SUCCESS") {
                await this.removeData("@ep/notif")
                await this.removeData("@ep/notif/token")
                return Alert.alert("Fehler", "Ein unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuchen Sie es später erneut.")
            }
        }).catch(async e => {
            await this.removeData("@ep/notif")
            await this.removeData("@ep/notif/token")
            return Alert.alert("Fehler", "Ein unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten. Bitte versuchen Sie es später erneut.")
        })
    }

Repo

The source code of the app is private but I can give you access to the part of the app, that makes problems.

Testing

I only tested the build on Android.

Building

I am building with turtle-cli but using the normal expo-cli to build didn’t change anything.

Many thanks in advance Fabian

Hey @AdamJNavarro, I made set the token through the command and it worked. Thank you so much for your help and your time.

Have a nice day and safe Fabian

Or do I have to upload like this?

expo push:android:upload --api-key <key>

Thank you Fabian
