As with any React Native project, the first step is to add the project as an npm dependency.

The 2nd is to do some platform specific setup so as to be able to work with Apple and Google's services for push notifications.

Start by running this:

```
$ npm install react-native-notifications --save
```


Then, [Manually link](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries-ios.html#manual-linking) the library to your Xcode project.


To enable notifications support add the following line at the top of your `AppDelegate.m`

```objective-c
#import "RNNotifications.h"
```

Start monitor notifications in: `application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions`

```objective-c

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
	[RNNotifications startMonitorNotifications]; // -> Add this line

	return YES;
}

```


And add the following methods to support registration:

```objective-c

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
  [RNNotifications didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:deviceToken];
}

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error {
  [RNNotifications didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:error];
}
