Asking for Notifications Permissions

Expo SDK
1

In my component, I have:

  componentDidMount(){
    this.setNotifications();
  }

and

  async setNotifications() {
    try {
      const localNotificationObject = { title: "hey", body: "hello"};
      const dateObject = { time: new Date(new Date().getTime() + 5000) };

      let result = await   
        Permissions.askAsync(Permissions.NOTIFICATIONS);
        if (result.status === 'granted') {
           await Notifications.scheduleLocalNotificationAsync(localNotification, dateObject)
        }
        console.log(result.status) // =>'undetermined'
    } catch(error) {console.log(error)}
  }

My iPhone simulator on the computer is not asking for notifications permissions at all, just immediately returning ‘undetermined’. Any help is appreciated.

Notifications aren’t supported on the simulator, which is why you’re immediately getting “undetermined”.
