Notice - Project may be abandoned - Alternatives List

If you check the issues, you’ll notice that react-native link only works for android, and will create a native module cannot be null error.

These issues have been open #603, #501, #428, #541 for a long time, once since 2016.

Additionally, key parts of both the example code (var PushNotification = require('react-native-push-notification');), and the Readme are dangerously out of date and have been for months - see #617

@zo0r I’m not knocking all the work that you put into this, you’ve done a fantastic job and are the go-to solution for pushing notifications right now.

Which is precisely what worries me. Looking at how long some of the repeat issues have existed for and the lack of maintenance (as of writing, 48 open pull requests and 333 open issues), maybe consider either marking the project as abandoned and redirecting people to https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase (which certainly has its own issues) or adding maintainers if the project is proving to cumbersome to maintain.

There already was an initiative to ask them nicely to turn over the maintenance of this library to someone else. https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/issues/575

There was one great suggestion. To hand over the maintenance to React Native Community. @zo0r what do you think about that?

This repo isn’t abandoned anymore. @zo0r had no more time to manage it but he gave me access to the repo some days ago. I’m trying to merge everything that has to be merged.

Don’t hesitate to help with the repo. 😉
