404 generating vapid for web notifications

Expo Development Tools
1

I am trying to setup push notifications for web. I found this document (https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/master/docs/pages/versions/unversioned/guides/using-vapid.md) saying that I needed to generate a vapid so I run this command EXPO_DEBUG=true npx expo-cli push:web:generate --vapid-subject

and I get a request failed with status code 404. I also tried using a mailto link, but same result.

Update, according to Evan Bacon the docs were published before the feature was written.
