I try to implement expo notifications and I have an issue on the first step, ask permission.
On ios, I tried the exemple of the documentation (just this to ask permision) :

  let token;
  if (Constants.isDevice) {
    const { status: existingStatus } =
      await Notifications.getPermissionsAsync();
    let finalStatus = existingStatus;
    if (existingStatus !== 'granted') {
      const { status } = await Notifications.requestPermissionsAsync();
      finalStatus = status;
    }
    if (finalStatus !== 'granted') {
      alert('Failed to get push token for push notification!');
      return;
    }
    token = (await Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync()).data;
    console.log(token);
  } else {
    alert('Must use physical device for Push Notifications');
  }

  if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
    Notifications.setNotificationChannelAsync('default', {
      name: 'default',
      importance: Notifications.AndroidImportance.MAX,
      vibrationPattern: [0, 250, 250, 250],
      lightColor: '#FF231F7C',
    });
  }

  return token;
};

Here is my app.json:

{
  "expo": {
    "name": "green-got-preview",
    "slug": "green-got-preview",
    "scheme": "green-got-preview",
    "version": "1.1.2",
    "orientation": "portrait",
    "icon": "./assets/images/app-icon.png",
    "userInterfaceStyle": "automatic",
    "splash": {
      "image": "./assets/images/splash2.png",
      "resizeMode": "cover",
      "backgroundColor": "#ffffff"
    },
    "updates": {
      "fallbackToCacheTimeout": 0
    },
    "assetBundlePatterns": ["**/*"],
    "ios": {
      "bundleIdentifier": "com.green-got.preview",
      "buildNumber": "1.0.0",
      "supportsTablet": true,
      "infoPlist": {
        "NSCameraUsageDescription": "Nous avons besoin d'utiliser votre caméra pour la création du compte"
      }
    },
    "android": {
      "package": "com.green_got.preview",
      "permissions": [
        "CAMERA",
        "RECORD_AUDIO",
        "CAMERA_ROLL",
        "VIBRATE",
        "com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"
      ],
      "versionCode": 1,
      "adaptiveIcon": {
        "foregroundImage": "./assets/images/adaptive-icon.png",
        "backgroundColor": "#ffffff"
      }
    },
    "web": {
      "favicon": "./assets/images/favicon.png"
    }
  }
}

I have no prompt or alert to request / enable permission and the status when is not granted is always undetermined
Am I missing a configuration in my app.json ?
any idea?

Hm, this is working in Expo Go for me. Can you try a fresh install of Expo Go?

Ok so after remove completely expo Go, re-install etc … I got it :wink:
