I am also getting this error on RN 0.61.1 when I call await messaging().getToken();.

[cjishnu]

For iOS, add the following in Info.plist:
"FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled" set as "NO"
After this, I got the fcmToken.

Does this only happen on RN61? Is it fine on 60?

[dwyery]

I just rolled back to a previous release branch for my app which had RN60.5 and I still get this error. cjishnu solution did not work me.

Is there maybe some logic missing that we have to do now before calling this function? I have read the docs but can't see anything obvious.

I managed to get a workaround for now. Since I am on iOS >= 12 requestPermission() no longer prompts the user:

On iOS, messaging permission must be requested by the current application before messages can be received or sent.

On iOS >= 12, the app will be granted Provisional Authorization, and will resolve true. The user will be able to receive FCM payloads and Notifications immediately; but notifications will be displayed silently. The user, through Notification Center, then has the option of upgrading your apps notifications to no longer be silent.

So I use the PushNotificationIOS.requestPermissions() from the @react-native-community/push-notification-ios library to do this. Once the register event has been triggered I can successfully call messaging().getToken() which returns a token and no error.

I tried this workaround but got no lucky :( still got no token but error 1001

I can confirm this is a temporary workaround for now.

Does not work for me - register event is not getting triggered. It stops the error from showing up though.. because getToken is not getting called.

[dwyery]

@AdamGold have you added the required methods to your AppDelegate.m file?

Finally, to enable support for notification and register events you need to augment your AppDelegate.

These methods can be found on the README on the repo.

[AdamGold]

@dwyery Yes, I have.

[mikehardy]

react-native-permissions is also pretty good...anyone tried that?

Yes, I can confirm that using react-native-permissions is a workaround for now.
