React Native Push Notifications

ReactComponentTreeHook.purgeUnmountedComponents is not a function. (In 'ReactComponentTreeHook.purgeUnountedComponents()', 'ReacComponentTreeHook.purgeUnmountedComponents' is undefined) I have used CRNA and ejected. I have also used react-native-push-notification and react-native-beacons-manager and followed the instructions of both. The project works when I run it in Android.

The push notification package I'm using has a requirement that you don't configure the library inside any components, even App, as the listeners won't fire properly.

Hey, I need help/advice. I'm just getting started with react native and so far, so good. I just reached the point of setting up push notifications for users and I was able to successfully push notifications from FCM, thanks to the react-native-push-notification package.

I'm using https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification.

On top of that, the way you register a device to receive notifications is vastly different between Android and iOS devices. So, documentation and support become even more important because of the inherent complexity that no library can completely eliminate. The GitHub page for the react-native-push-notification library provides excellent support and documentation.

This notification package has scheduled notifications.

We need to send users reminders to complete some actions inside the app, but cannot implement zo0r/react-native-push-notification or wix/react-native-notifications because they have the Firebase SDK included.

Hey, have you tried using react-native-background-fetch? It works amazingly with periodic background tasks (Android & iOS) even when the app is terminated! Just set your desired interval (15 mins), the library will take care of app termination and background state scenarios. Happy coding!

But I've tried something similar before and i noticed that background activities/fetches not always work. Sometimes it works a few times after opening the app and after that it stops working. In this case I really want them to work every single time (at least ones a day). I used https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch for the background fetch the previous time.

But for the former, I'm wondering what's the best option here. I'm deciding between Expo's BackgroundFetch versus react-native-background-fetch. Are there any differences I need to be aware about?

Go for it mate! Currently, I got discouraged because of how background tasks in iOS are handled. I am using react-native and this library specifically for Android - https://github.com/transistorsoft/react-native-background-fetch . But it is not working for iOS on terminate and restarts.
