Support put device token to life cycle events

[ghost]

Hi guys, My react native app need to implement push notifications that required put device token to segment life cycle events. Does segment react-native lib support to add device token to life cycle events?

Something like this: https://segment.com/docs/connections/sources/catalog/libraries/mobile/ios/#how-do-i-use-push-notifications
https://segment.com/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/customer-io/#device-token-set-up

@quyentran-agilityio I have the same issue.

The iOS native library auto-adds it, we use this middleware for android

import {
  Notification,
  Notifications,
  Registered,
} from 'react-native-notifications';

// global to store token
let deviceToken: string | null = null;

// called at startup
export const registerforPN = () => {

  if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
    Notifications.registerRemoteNotifications();
    Notifications.events().registerRemoteNotificationsRegistered(
      (event: Registered) => {
        deviceToken = event.deviceToken;
      },
    );
  }
};

// middleware for this library
export const pnMiddleware: Middleware = payload => {
  const {next, context} = payload;
  if (Platform.OS === 'android' && deviceToken !== null) {
    if (!context.device) {
      context.device = {token: deviceToken};
    }
  }
  next(context);
};

@adamjuhasz that is a VERY clever work around, I dig it. We're gonna make this easier though.

    }
  }
  next(context);
};

This is only working for custom events. Is there any wayout to set data in context for default lifecycle events?

I'm having a same issue. In our set up we have trackAppLifecycleEvents: true set up when creating the client. I'm not sure how I could add the middleware on the default lifecycles events.

Any idea?
