React Native OneSignal SDK

⚠️ Migration Advisory for current OneSignal customers

Our new user-centric APIs and v5.x.x SDKs offer an improved user and data management experience. However, they may not be at 1:1 feature parity with our previous versions yet.

If you are migrating an existing app, we suggest using iOS and Android’s Phased Rollout capabilities to ensure that there are no unexpected issues or edge cases. Here is the documentation for each:

• iOS Phased Rollout
• Google Play Staged Rollouts

If you run into any challenges or have concerns, please contact our support team at [email protected]

OneSignal is a free email, sms, push notification, and in-app message service for mobile apps. This SDK makes it easy to integrate your native React-Native iOS and/or Android apps with OneSignal.

Requirements

• React Native >=0.79.0 for 5.4.x and later. The TurboModule registers itself through the codegenConfig.ios.modulesProvider field added in React Native 0.79, so earlier versions will throw TurboModuleRegistry.getEnforcing(...): 'OneSignal' could not be found at runtime when the New Architecture is enabled. Apps on React Native 0.76–0.78 (including Expo SDK 52) should stay on 5.3.x, which uses the legacy bridge module and works on the New Architecture via the interop layer.

Installation

See the Setup Guide for setup instructions.

Disable Location Module

By default, react-native-onesignal includes OneSignal's native location module so OneSignal.Location works without extra setup. If your app does not use location features, you can exclude the native location module from iOS and Android builds.

Set ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true in the environment before resolving or building, for both CocoaPods (iOS) and Gradle (Android). The value is case-insensitive, and 1 is also accepted:

ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true pod install        # iOS, from the ios directory
ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true ./gradlew assembleDebug   # Android, from the android directory

In GitHub Actions, you can also set it once at the job or step level so pod install, pod update, and Gradle builds inherit it:

env:
  ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION: true

When disabled, OneSignal.Location.requestPermission() and OneSignal.Location.setShared() no-op on native builds without the location module, and OneSignal.Location.isShared() resolves false.

Applying the change (clearing cached pods)

The environment variable is only read when dependencies are resolved. CocoaPods pins the resolved pods in Podfile.lock, so after changing the variable on an existing project you must reinstall pods in a shell where the variable is exported:

cd ios
pod deintegrate
rm -rf Pods Podfile.lock
ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION=true pod install

Gradle re-reads the variable on each configuration, so a clean build with the variable set is enough on Android.

[!IMPORTANT] When using Xcode or Android Studio, launch the IDE from a terminal that has ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION exported. An IDE launched from the Dock/Finder does not inherit variables set only in your shell profile. On CI, key any CocoaPods / Gradle caches on the value of ONESIGNAL_DISABLE_LOCATION so a restored cache does not resurrect the location module.
