React Native

Step 1: Prerequisites

Android Requirements

All apps must have a Firebase project and matching credentials to capture subscriptions and send notifications. Follow the link below to create a Firebase project for your app and add the credentials to our platform.

Before you can integrate the SDK with your app the following requirements must be met:

• Android device or emulator running API 24+ (Android 7.0) with Google Play Store Services installed.

• An app that uses Jetpack (AndroidX)

• Firebase Sender ID and Server API Key or Service Account. If you do not already have these follow our documentation to generate them.

• SDK Key: Obtained from the Pushly Platform in the Domain Settings page under the Details > Domain Information section.

React Native SDK 1.7+

The bundled native Android SDK depends on androidx.core 1.17 and carries Kotlin 2.2 metadata, so a consuming project must build with a matching toolchain:

• Kotlin 2.2 or newer

• Android Gradle Plugin 8.9.1 or newer

• compileSdk 36

• minSdk 24

• JDK 17–21

React Native architecture

The SDK works with either React Native architecture. It ships both a TurboModule and a legacy bridge implementation, and selects between them using your project's newArchEnabled Gradle property.

iOS Requirements

In order to begin subscribing users to notifications you must have either a P8 Key (recommended) or a P12 Certificate; Either of these can be generated via the Apple Developers portal.

• An Apple Developer Account that has Admin privileges

• Your application's App Bundle ID (e.g., com.pushly.example)

• An iOS application or XCode project with the Push Notifications capability added

In addition to the above the following requirements must be met:

• An iOS 15.1+ device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) to develop and test on, or a simulator that meets the requirements in Testing on a simulator.

• A Mac OS device with XCode 15.1+ installed.

• An iOS P12 Push Certificate or P8 Key. If you do not already have these follow our documentation to generate them.

• SDK Key: Obtained from the Pushly Platform in the Domain Settings page under the Details > Domain Information section.

The iOS deployment target and XCode version are set by React Native, not by the Pushly SDK, so a newer React Native version may raise both above the floors listed here.
