react-native-app-launcher's Issues

Cancel the push notification icon

An icon of alarm clock appears on the top bar when i am setting an alarm.
Is there a way to cancel it?
Thanks,
(great repository by the way - i was searching for 2 days for repo similar to that)

does not build with newer react native versions

Hi,

Here's a PR that fixes it:
#4

Just ran it locally with a project and RN at 0.59.5 and looks like it works fine. Probably can bump the peerDependency version of RN if you want too...

IOS launcher

How would you achieve something similar in iOS?

Can it also wake the device?

The module works very good with launching the app, but when the screen is off, it doesn't wake the device. How can this be achieved here?

I am doing an alarm clock similair like your motivational app which wakes the device. I've been looking all over the source code for the thing that wakes it but to no avail. :(
