Re-enable push notifications

[burakson]

We would like to allow users to disable and enable their push notifications from our application. Disabling push notifications for specific device works fine with disableDeviceForCurrentUser. However, there is no equivalent to re-enable the device.

We do have autoPushRegisteration: true in the configuration but calling setEmail when the user re-enables push notifications does not seem to do the job. Can you please tell us how this could be achieved?

In the Rest API documentation, POST /api/users/registerDeviceToken seems to be the way to go but we can't see this method being exposed in this sdk.

Thanks.

Thanks for bubbling this up, it looks as though only disableDeviceForCurrentUser is exposed in the RN bridge. We'll get a ticket logged to exposing that function on RN.

Hello, any updates on this? Users controlling their push notifications is a pretty standard practice, and there seems to be no easy way to re-enable after disabling.

Hi @ecroce,

We have cut a ticket for the request internally. Thanks for following up. We will follow up with any relevant updates in this thread.

In the meantime, calling setEmail when autoPushRegisteration is true should have the same effect, as it calls registerDeviceToken.

We ran into this issue as-well. You may need to end up specifying the env

config.pushPlatform = ENV === PRODUCTION ? IterablePushPlatform.production : IterablePushPlatform.sandbox

or the send might silently fail and your user might be registered as uninstalled when its not.... very frustrating.... this should be added to the installation docs

This ended up fixing it for me, also force setting autoPushRegistration = true even though that's supposed to be the default.
