Not getting a push to start token

Minimal Reproduction

  useEffect(() => {
    const updateTokenSubscription = LiveActivity.addActivityTokenListener(
      ({ activityID, activityName, activityPushToken }) => {
        console.log(`Activity id: ${activityID}, activity name: ${activityName}, token: ${activityPushToken}`);
      },
    );

    const liveActivityStartTokenListener = LiveActivity.addActivityPushToStartTokenListener(
      ({ activityPushToStartToken }) => {
        console.log(`Push to start token: ${activityPushToStartToken}`);
        recordPushNotificationTokenMutation.mutate({
          type: 'push-to-start',
          pushToken: activityPushToStartToken,
          platform: Platform.OS as 'ios' | 'android',
        });
      },
    );

    return () => {
      updateTokenSubscription?.remove();
      liveActivityStartTokenListener?.remove();
    };
  }, []);

I am not receiving a push to start token unless I manually start an activity first. Should I still be able to fetch the token without manually calling startActivity so I can use push notifications to start an activity?

I also have push notifications enabled in the app config.

Hello! Thanks for your contribution!
This seems like a bug in iOS and I'm afraid we can't solve the issue in the library. On Apple Developer forum you can find a workaround for this issue https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/741939.
