Question

Good afternoon.
I'm just learning React Native.
Interested in the question is it possible to send push notifications in React Native without GCM and APN?
Or is it just for security reasons?

thanks in advance

As an option, there is also https://github.com/b8ne/react-native-pusher-push-n... Another option seems to be how you can keep the server yourself for push notifications. And another option is to generate a notification on the phone, the so-called local notification. But I would not advise using GCM after all, because the system has been working for more than one year, it works stably and does not ask for money.
