Appcues Expo Module

Appcues Expo Module allows you to integrate Appcues push notifications into your Expo app alongside the Appcues React Native Module.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

  1. Ensure the Appcues React Native Module is installed in your app and the SDK is initialized:

    import * as Appcues from '@appcues/react-native'
    
    await Appcues.setup('APPCUES_ACCOUNT_ID', 'APPCUES_APPLICATION_ID')
  2. It is recommended to have configured your Android and iOS push settings in Appcues Studio before configuring push notifications in your app to allow you quickly test your configuration end to end.

  3. Copy your Firebase configuration file into your project and set the path to the file in your app.json file, in the android.googleServicesFile (doc) property:

    {
      "expo": {
        ...
        "android": {
          "googleServicesFile": "./google-services.json",
        }
      }
    }

    Note that Appcues iOS push notifications do not use Firebase.

Usage

  1. Install the Appcues expo config plugin
    npm install @appcues/expo-config
  2. App @appcues/expo-config to the plugin list in your app.json file:
    {
      "expo": {
        ...
        "plugins": [
          "@appcues/expo-config"
          ...
        ]
      }
    }
  3. Test locally with a new development or EAS build:
    npx expo prebuild
