Prerequistes

This article assumes you have created and configured a React Native project with the latest version.

Installing Necessary libraries

We need to install Notifee library for this to work.

npm install @notifee/react-native react-native-permissions @react-native-community/datetimepicker react-native-mmkv

After installing these libraries pod install in ios folder to install proper pod files.

cd ios

pod install

// For M1 Macs

arch -x86_64 pod install

Now we will dive into each Platform’s configuration

Android configuration

We will need to add required permissions in AndroidManifest.xml and call those permissions inside our application.
