[success] Android looking great! 👌

Platform(s)

• Android

Current Behavior

Each time when it do the check as expect and reach to the line PushNotification.register shows an error on the Android studio logcat (using the 'Run' app option with a USB mobile conection) and then close the app itself !

that occurs when it pass after PushNotifications.requestPermissions().then promise and checking if it is a 'granted' in the return response

Currently it was tested on this android devices:

1. HUAWEI GRA-L09 (Close the App, tested in 'Run' app option and release)
2. 5048Y_EEA (Close the App, tested in 'Run' app option and release)
3. SM-G935F (First attemp 'stop working', the followings works right, tested only in release)

Expected Behavior

As the PushNotifications plugin works, it should start to do the request and then if is right to be registered (by the promise response with a 'granted' value) and next register it.

@kingdox i've having the same issue - have you managed to solve it all?

@kingdox i don;t know how / why but i have managed to get past this issue.
I added import { Capacitor } from '@capacitor/core'; to my file and then checked if the platform was 'web' or not....

if (Capacitor.getPlatform() !== 'web') {
PushNotifications.register();
}

But i removed the import and code - and it still works.. no idea why, but i have managed to get pas thtis which is great.

hope it helps you as well

Yes I did it, in my case of desesperation just redo with npx cap init android in a new android project and adding one by one the things that knows it needs

My conclusion after that is it might be some libraries or another internal element who keeps obsoletes but it wasn't cleared at all after a update of a plugin or any other thing what Android manages 🤔

I'll close this thread, I'll hope that my response can solve your problem 🚀
