'sharedApplication' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension) - Use view controller based solutions where appropriate instead.

See original GitHub issue

I added the Notification Service Extension as specified in the Remote Notification Support page for iOS, and all of a sudden builds fail and I get

'sharedApplication' is unavailable: not available on iOS (App Extension) - Use view controller based solutions where appropriate instead.

error on react-native-safe-area-context.

I rolled back the installation steps for notifee and the build succeeds.

Any idea what is causing this error ?

I’ve seen this. You can “fix” it temporarily with a Podfile workaround turning off a specific compiler flag

Here’s firebase-ios-sdk dealing with the same thing, that might shed light on a strategy to make the library more extension compatible https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/1357

I think adding this config.build_settings['APPLICATION_EXTENSION_API_ONLY'] = 'NO'

In a Podfile stanza like this (but you don’t have to use our other settings of course) would get you building https://github.com/invertase/notifee/blob/4a720dc8ac52506b302f6d9252a99cefc1d8cb28/tests_react_native/ios/Podfile#L48-L56

Hi, sorry you faced this. Would you be able to provide some more details, code snippets or a reproducible app by cloning our example app?
