Expo Notifications Setup

Current Status (Development with Expo Go)

The app is configured to work with Expo Go for development, with warnings suppressed. Local notifications will work in a development build or production app.

For Production: Creating a Development Build

When you're ready to test full notification functionality, you'll need to create a development build:

1. Install EAS CLI

npm install -g @expo/eas-cli

2. Configure EAS

eas login
eas build:configure

3. Build for Android (recommended)

# For Android APK
eas build --platform android --profile development

# For Android AAB (if publishing to Play Store)
eas build --platform android --profile production

4. Install the development build

  • Download the APK from the EAS build page
  • Install it on your Android device
  • Run npx expo start --dev-client instead of the tunnel command

What Works in Each Environment

Expo Go (Current)

  • ✅ App functionality
  • ✅ UI components
  • ❌ Push notifications (suppressed warnings)
  • ❌ Remote notifications

Development Build

  • ✅ App functionality
  • ✅ UI components
  • ✅ Local push notifications
  • ✅ Remote notifications (with proper setup)

Notes

  • The current notification service gracefully handles Expo Go limitations
  • All error messages are suppressed to avoid confusion during development
  • The app will return mock notification IDs in Expo Go to keep functionality working
