FAQ

Working around missing device push token on iOS

If your devices are missing the push token, as a workaround you can set proxyDevicePushTokenCall plugin property to true. This will ensure you are calling HyperTrack SDK as soon as the device token is received in the AppDelegate.

Configuring permission purpose strings

iOS requires specifying permission purpose strings in Info.plist for app to build.

You can use plugin parameters described below to set the strings.

Every time you change the props or plugins, you'll need to rebuild (and prebuild) the native app.

• locationPermission (string): Sets NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription, NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription, NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription

• motionPermission (string): Sets NSMotionUsageDescription

Edit hypertrack-sdk-expo item in your app.json or app.config.js:

        "hypertrack-sdk-expo",
        {
          "locationPermission": "PUT_YOUR_PERMISSION_HINT_MESSAGE_HERE",
          "motionPermission": "PUT_YOUR_PERMISSION_HINT_MESSAGE_HERE"
        }
      ]
