Expo Notification with Image?

[NilsBaumgartner1994]

How to send an image in the expo push notification message?

const messages = expoPushTokens.map(token => ({
            to: token,
            sound: 'default',
            badge: payload?.ios_badge_count || 0,
            title: title, // Replace with the actual field name
            body: body, // Replace with the actual field name
            data: data, // Replace with the actual field name
            /**
             attachments: {
             identifier: string | null;
             url: string | null;
             type: string | null;
             }[];
             */
            attachments: [
                {
                    identifier: 'image',
                    url: 'https://www.fnordware.com/superpng/pnggrad8rgb.png',
                    type: 'image/png'
                }
            ]
        }));

        //console.log("Messages:")
        //console.log(messages)

        try {
            await axios.post('https://exp.host/--/api/v2/push/send', messages);
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(`Failed to send notification: ${e.message}`)
            input.status = 'failed';
            input.status_log = e.message.toString();
            throw new Error(`Failed to send notification: ${e.message}`);
        }

Does this work for you? The image doesn't display on the iPhone for me.

[NilsBaumgartner1994]

Well, that’s exactly what my issue is.

[williambroberts]

when I console.warn(notification.request.content); i see attachments:[], empty array. Is it the same for you?

[NilsBaumgartner1994]

Haven’t tested that yet. But I think expo currently just can’t send images with push notifications

as far as i know expo notification doesn't support image (no idea why)

Also having this issue. Seems like this should be a basic feature of Expo
