Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process

I sending push notification node-gcm to my token. Yey i have token. .configure({ }) is working. But the application crashes directly when I use the plugin and throw notification. This time I’m sending it again after the crash comes notification. When I try for the 3rd time, the app doesn’t come crashed.

Everyone said check xml file. I couldn’t find my fault. I think the readme.md file should be given piece by piece information about the xml file

For example; For Local Notification ... For GCM ... For FCM ...

I stumbled upon the same problem in android, and I was only using local notifications.

Seems that firebase is called when configuring the library with requestPermissions: true.

This fixed the problem for me:

PushNotification.configure({
//...
 requestPermissions: Platform.OS === 'ios'
//...
}

Hi @arqex Thanks for sharing this! It’s a good way to avoid crash for Android when you are not using Firebase 👍
