Pull request overview
This PR adds comprehensive documentation for implementing push notifications in the Sobers Expo application. However, there is a critical discrepancy: while the PR description states "the code implementation is complete," this PR only includes documentation - the actual implementation files (lib/notifications.ts, contexts/NotificationContext.tsx) and required dependencies (expo-notifications) are not included in the changes.
Key Changes:
- Added detailed push notification setup guide at
docs/PUSH_NOTIFICATION_SETUP.md - Documentation covers FCM/APNs credential setup, implementation examples, testing procedures, and troubleshooting
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

This documentation describes implementation files that are not included in this PR. The PR description states "The code implementation is complete" and "This feature requires the repository owner to complete the credential setup steps," but the actual implementation files are missing:
lib/notifications.ts- does not exist in the repositorycontexts/NotificationContext.tsx- does not exist in the repositoryexpo-notificationsdependency - not added to package.json- App integration in
app/_layout.tsx- NotificationProvider is not added
This PR only adds documentation but no actual code implementation. Either:
- Add the missing implementation files to this PR, or
- Update the PR description and documentation to clarify that this is a documentation-only PR and implementation needs to be done separately
The current state is misleading because it suggests the feature is ready to use after following setup instructions, when in fact the core implementation is missing.

The statement "iOS: Requires physical device (not simulator) and FCM configuration" is misleading. While iOS does require FCM configuration when using Expo's push notification service, iOS primarily uses APNs (Apple Push Notification service), not FCM. FCM is Firebase's service that acts as an intermediary.
The correct information should clarify that:
- iOS uses APNs (Apple Push Notification service) as its native platform
- Expo's push notification service routes through FCM for both Android and iOS
- Both platforms require FCM credentials configuration in the Expo setup
Consider rewording to: "iOS: Requires physical device (not simulator) and APNs/FCM configuration" or clarify in the overview that Expo uses FCM as an intermediary for both platforms.
| **Platform Support:** | |
| - **iOS**: Requires physical device (not simulator) and FCM configuration | |
| Expo's push notification service uses FCM as an intermediary for both Android and iOS, so FCM credentials must be configured for both platforms in the Expo setup. | |

The dependencies section lists packages that are not actually added to package.json in this PR. The documentation instructs users to install expo-notifications, but this dependency is not included in the changes. Additionally:
expo-device: "~8.0.10" is listed in the documentation and matches package.json (line 62)expo-constants: "~18.0.11" is listed, but package.json has "~18.0.12" (line 60)expo-notifications: "~0.32.15" is listed but completely missing from package.json
Update the documentation to either:
- Match the actual versions in package.json (if these files will be added in a separate commit), or
- Include the installation step in the PR's changes to package.json
Also note that the minor version mismatch for expo-constants should be corrected to "~18.0.12" to match what's currently installed.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The shouldShowList property used in the notification handler configuration is not a documented property of the Expo Notifications API. According to the Expo Notifications documentation, the valid properties for the notification handler return value are:
shouldShowAlert(notshouldShowBanner)shouldPlaySoundshouldSetBadge
The properties shouldShowBanner and shouldShowList do not exist in the Expo Notifications API. This code will not cause an error but these properties will be ignored.
Update the code example to use the correct properties:
- Replace
shouldShowBannerwithshouldShowAlert - Remove
shouldShowListas it's not a valid property

The documentation instructs users to add the Expo project ID, but this is already configured in the repository's app.config.ts file (line 28 shows projectId: 'd17ee0bf-d2d6-4a29-9348-8dc79fffb815').
This section should be updated to note that the project ID is already configured, or changed to a verification step rather than a configuration step. For example:
"The Expo project ID has already been configured in app.config.ts. You can verify it by checking the extra.eas.projectId field."

The documentation does not mention that the expo-notifications plugin needs to be added to the plugins array in app.config.ts. According to Expo's documentation, when using expo-notifications with EAS Build, you should add the plugin to your app configuration.
The current app.config.ts plugins array (lines 84-122) does not include 'expo-notifications'. This should be added after the dependencies are installed.
Add a note in the Configuration section instructing users to add the plugin:
plugins: [
// ... other plugins
'expo-notifications',
]

Testing Checklist
References
Note: This feature requires the repository owner to complete the credential setup steps before push notifications will function. The code implementation is complete, but external configuration is needed.
Questions? Please review the video tutorial and documentation links provided. If you encounter issues during setup, check the Expo documentation or reach out for assistance with credential configuration.
