Local notification showing in console, but not appearing on device

[vemundeldegard]

Hello!

I am trying to test out Push Notification in my app. I can see the notification in the console like this:

'NOTIFICATION:', { foreground: true,
  userInteraction: false,
  message: 'My Notification Message',
  data: {},
  badge: 10,
  alert: 'My Notification Message',
  sound: 'default',
  finish: [Function: finish] }

But nothing appears on the device. I am debugging on iPhone X with iOS 11.

I have also tried on my own iPhone X with iOS 12, but then I run into this issue that I can't seem to solve. .

I have linked everything according to the guide from React Native, as well as linking manually.

App.js

import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification';
import {PushNotificationIOS} from 'react-native';

PushNotification.configure({

  onRegister: function(token) {
    console.log( 'TOKEN:', token );

  },

  onNotification: function(notification) {

    console.log( 'NOTIFICATION:', notification );

    // process the notification
    // required on iOS only
    notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
  },

  permissions: {
    alert: true,
    badge: true,
    sound: true
  },

  popInitialNotification: true,
  requestPermissions: true,

});

In my component I try firing an local notification like this:

handleOnPress = () => {
     PushNotification.localNotification({
       title: "My Notification Title", // (optional)
        message: "My Notification Message", // (required)
        playSound: true, // (optional) default: true
        soundName: 'default', // (optional) Sound to play when the notification is shown. Value of 'default' plays the default sound. It can be set to a custom sound such as 'android.resource://com.xyz/raw/my_sound'. It will look for the 'my_sound' audio file in 'res/raw' directory and play it. default: 'default' (default sound is played)
        number: 10, // (optional) Valid 32 bit integer specified as string. default: none (Cannot be zero)
        repeatType: 'day', // (optional) Repeating interval. Check 'Repeating Notifications' section for more info.
        actions: '["Yes", "No"]',  // (Android only) See the doc for notification actions to know more
     });
   };

I'm facing the same issue. It works fine on Android, but not on iOS. Using version 3.1.2

@vemundeldegard on IOS you can't get notifications when the app in in foreground (opened) try to send a scheduled notification for 5 seconds and close the device once you trigger it, should work..
That explains why it worked for you on android
also you can get local and scheduled notifications on a simulator

@verybluebot it is certainly possible on iOS it's just not supported out of the box.
