Since iOS 11, iPhone notch has appeared. Use React Native to check whether iOS device has notch. Two methods are introduced below.

1. According to the device model

Use the hasNotch() method of react-native-device-info to tells if the device has a notch. It is suitable for Android and iOS. Check the source code of deviceinfo.js, and find the hasNotch() method. We can see the devicesWithNotch variable, which lists all brands and models with notch. The code is as follows:

const devicesWithNotch = [
  {
    brand: 'Apple',
    model: 'iPhone 11',
  },
  {
    brand: 'Apple',
    model: 'iPhone 11 Pro',
  },
  {
    brand: 'Apple',
    model: 'iPhone 11 Pro Max',
  },
  {
    brand: 'Apple',
    model: 'iPhone X',
  },
  {
    brand: 'Apple',
    model: 'iPhone XS',
  },
  {
    brand: 'Apple',
    model: 'iPhone XS Max',
  },

];

2. Custom iOS Native Modules

Create a iOS Native Modules, check whether the value of window.safeAreaInsets.bottom is greater than 0, export the constant, the code is as follows.

  • Objective C

NotchNative.h

//  NotchNative.h

#import <React/RCTBridgeModule.h>
@interface NotchNative : NSObject <RCTBridgeModule>

@end

NotchNative.m

// NotchNative.m

#import "NotchNative.h"
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@implementation NotchNative

// To export a module named RCTCalendarModule
RCT_EXPORT_MODULE();

- (NSDictionary *)constantsToExport
{
  NSMutableDictionary *dictionary = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
  BOOL isBangsScreen = NO;
  CGFloat topPadding = 0;
  CGFloat bottomPadding = 0;
  if (@available(iOS 11.0, *)) {
    UIWindow *window = [[UIApplication sharedApplication].windows firstObject];
    topPadding = window.safeAreaInsets.top;
    bottomPadding = window.safeAreaInsets.bottom;
    isBangsScreen = bottomPadding > 0;
  }
  [dictionary setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:isBangsScreen] forKey:@"isBangsScreen"];
  [dictionary setObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:topPadding] forKey:@"topPadding"];
  [dictionary setObject:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:bottomPadding] forKey:@"bottomPadding"];
  return dictionary;
}

@end
  • Reactjs
import { NativeModules, Platform } from 'react-native'

if (Platform.OS === "ios") {
    const notchModule = NativeModules.NotchNative;
    console.log({notchModule});
    const data = {
        isBangsScreen: notchModule.isBangsScreen,
        topPadding: notchModule.topPadding,
        bottomPadding: notchModule.bottomPadding
    };
    console.log(data);
}
