}

Sample initialization of notifications in the app

import * as Notifications from 'expo-notifications'
import * as MarketingCloud from '@allboatsrise/expo-marketingcloudsdk'

// ensure push notifications appear regardless whether app is active or not
Notifications.setNotificationHandler({
  handleNotification: async (_notification) => {
    return {
      shouldShowAlert: true,
      shouldPlaySound: true,
      shouldSetBadge: true,
    }
  },
})

export const App: React.FC = () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    let cleanup = () => {}

    ;(async () => {
      // request push notifications permission on load
      // ideally: show this elsewhere where it's more relevant instead of as soon as when the ap loads
      let result = await Notifications.getPermissionsAsync()
      if (!result.granted && result.canAskAgain) {
        result = await Notifications.requestPermissionsAsync({
          ios: {
            allowAlert: true,
            allowBadge: true,
            allowSound: true,
          },
        })
      }

      if (!result.granted) return

      const token = await Notifications.getDevicePushTokenAsync()

      // let Marketing Cloud SDK the value of current push token
      MarketingCloud.setSystemToken(token.data)

      // In rare situations a push token may be changed by the push notification service while the app is running.
      const subscription = Notifications.addPushTokenListener((newToken) => {
        MarketingCloud.setSystemToken(newToken.data)
      })
      cleanup = () => subscription.remove()
    })()

    return () => cleanup()
  }, [])

  // remaining app logic...
}
