[PushNotificationIOS] Unable to request permission

[NishanthShankar]

I get the error registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: is not supported in iOS 8.0 and later.

I am able to request permissions if i change

if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED >= __IPHONE_8_0

to

if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED < __IPHONE_8_0

Line no: 141 in 8.0
Line no 155 in current master

I'm having issues with this as well, only my issue is due to RCTPushNotificationManager on L:16 of PushNotificationIOS.js being undefined. I logged out the contents of react-native.NativeModules and I don't see PushNotificationManager in there.

EDIT: I fixed my initial issue. Now I'm having the same issue mentioned above.

@NishanthShankar I tried making a pr for this earlier today. However, I am unable to get the tests to pass :( #2302

@potsypantsy made that minor change and it seems to pass the tests. Not sure why the earlier pr failed though

@NishanthShankar I think the fix I had was a little different.

EDITED: The above check should preferably be a runtime and not a compile time check. For example, we compile our app with support for 7.0 and the logic here fixes the app to a version of iOS. The current solution prevents people from targeting iOS7 and having their code work on iOS 8.

[NishanthShankar]

Will look into making the check at runtime then.
But I guess, based on what you said, the existing code prevents people from targeting iOS8 and have to build only on iOS 7

I am using 0.9.0 and iOS7.0 as a deployment target, but I still get this?

But I am building the project with xcode 6, so the sdk is 8.

I found that this is still an issue. Decides to use the wrong request function. Target is iOS 9 with Xcode 7.
