Issue

On the server side we are using amazon sns service for the fcm communication with the devices, so the token returned from firebase.messaging().getToken() is just too long. So we've figured we should get the token with getAPNStoken call

import firebase from 'react-native-firebase'

const token = await firebase.messaging().ios.getAPNSToken() // null

only that this call returns null no matter what I try, the documentation isn't very clear about how to use and use cases, but I guess that it should be inferred from the name. anyhow, I've also tried to register first using

firebase.messaging().ios.registerForRemoteNotifications().then(() => 
const token = firebase.messaging().ios.getAPNSToken()) // null

still no success. Am I doing something wrong, or is that a bug?
