The update message I've not generally seen before, but nearly every app I've used asks for at least the first two individually. The modals to allow notifications, location access, and other granular permissions on iOS is a good-practice pattern.
- Cthulhu_ 11y agoGood onboarding will however prepare the user for the appearance of those dialogs, or ideally only present them when the user performs an action that requires access to e.g. location services or push messages.
- mattlutze 11y agoAgreed entirely, if it's just blasting them out on first-use then they could definitely tighten that up.
- dean_mcpherson 11y agoAgreed, we probably need to work on offsetting those prompts til after onboarding, and preparing the user. An implementation issue though, not a react native one. The two permissions modals are required by iOS to access those features, and RN definitely has the ability to defer when those are shown. The update prompt is actually from http://microsoft.github.io/code-push/ http://microsoft.github.io/code-push/ which allows us to push minor updates directly to the app without going via the app store. Say goodbye to 2 week time cycles. A newer release of Code Push actually doesn't prompt the user at all, and can download an update during use and load it when the app goes inactive.
