push-notifications

push-notifications is a skill for Claude Code from AnilBurcu/claude-code-react-native. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,111 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for setting up and debugging push notifications in React Native and Expo mobile apps. It covers Expo's notification service and direct Apple or Google delivery systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring APNs or FCM, debugging missing notifications, handling Android channels, or scheduling and displaying notifications.
Why use it?
It helps explain why notifications fail, especially when the app uses the wrong delivery system, missing credentials, or incorrect platform settings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

push-notifications scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Push notifications that actually arrive

Pick a lane and stay in it

  • Expo push service (expo-notifications with ExpoPushToken): easiest server story, one API for both platforms, good default for most apps.
  • Direct FCM / APNs (device tokens, often with notifee for rich display): full control, more moving parts, needed for some advanced delivery cases.

The classic self-inflicted wound is mixing lanes: registering an Expo push token but sending through FCM directly, or vice versa. A token only works with the service it belongs to. Decide once, document it in the repo, and delete the code paths of the other lane.

Expo Go is not a push test bed. Since SDK 53, remote push through expo-notifications does not work in Expo Go on Android at all; a development build is required. Local notifications still work there, which is why the gap gets blamed on credentials instead. Test push in a development build or a release build, never in Expo Go.

Credentials

iOS (APNs)

  • Use an APNs key (.p8), not certificates. One key serves all your apps and does not expire annually.
  • The key lives in EAS credentials (or your own server if sending directly). Missing or wrong-team keys produce zero delivery with no client-side error, which is why iOS push debugging starts at the credentials screen, not in code.
  • Simulators receive real APNs sandbox pushes on Apple Silicon and T2 Macs (macOS 13+, Xcode 14+), with their own simulator-specific token. Hardware is only required for production-APNs behavior and older Intel Macs. simctl push additionally covers pure display-logic testing with a local payload.

Android (FCM)

  • google-services.json must match the applicationId exactly, including build-variant suffixes like .dev.
  • Sending through Expo requires uploading an FCM V1 service account key to EAS. The legacy FCM server key era is over; InvalidCredentials or 403 responses on Android almost always mean the V1 service account step was skipped.
