Installation
npm install pushwoosh-react-native-plugin --saveiOS Setup
cd ios && pod installAndroid Setup (Firebase Cloud Messaging)
Push notifications on Android require Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
Option A — Android Studio (recommended):
Open the android/ folder in Android Studio, then go to
Tools > Firebase > Cloud Messaging > Set up Firebase Cloud Messaging.
The wizard will automatically add all required configuration.
Option B — Manual setup:
- Create a project in Firebase Console
- Download
google-services.jsonand place it inandroid/app/ - Add the Google Services classpath to
android/build.gradle:classpath("com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15") - Apply the plugin in
android/app/build.gradle:apply plugin: "com.google.gms.google-services"
The Pushwoosh plugin already includes the firebase-messaging dependency, so you do not need to add it manually.

import { DeviceEventEmitter } from 'react-native';
// Listen for push notification events
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('pushOpened', (e) => {
console.log("Push opened: " + JSON.stringify(e));
});
// Initialize Pushwoosh
Pushwoosh.init({
pw_appid: "YOUR_PUSHWOOSH_APP_ID"
});
// Register for push notifications
Pushwoosh.register(
(token) => {
console.log("Registered with push token: " + token);
},
(error) => {
console.error("Failed to register: " + error);
}
);2. Set User Tags

dateFormat: "dd.MM.yyyy",
accentColor: processColor('#3498db'),
backgroundColor: processColor('#ffffff'),
titleColor: processColor('#333333'),

listEmptyMessage: "No messages yet"
});
// Or load messages programmatically
Pushwoosh.loadMessages(
(messages) => {
messages.forEach((msg) => {
console.log(msg.title + ": " + msg.message);
});
},
(error) => console.error("Failed to load: " + error)
