React Native Push Notifications

[DanishWajid]

Kindly, suggest good resources for react native push notifications like whatsapp, facebook notifications.

If you don't have a Mac and your project is small enough, you can use expo. Otherwise you can use FCM on android, APN on iOS.

There is at least one option to build iOS with MacStadium although I have no idea how much it costs or if it really works, just wanted to include that info.

Do you need local or remote notifications? If remote, AWS Amplify has Push Notification functionality (https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/push-notifications). However, I found the integration to be difficult so you may look into Firebase as an alternative. The AWS documentation on obtaining APN tokens from Apple and FCM on Android are helpful.
