Ok, ok, here I come!

First, my apologies for my English. I know it’s horrible. But it is what it is.

The Push Notification are basically composed of two big components, one server-side and other client-side or “app-side”.

So, your first big decistion is if use an existing service like PUSHWOOSH (http://www.pushwoosh.com) or Urban Airship (http://urbanairship.com) or develop your own sever.The server need to interact with Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) to send notification to Android Devices or Apple Push Notification (APN) Service for iOS. I’m now developing a Tomcat based open source service but is not ready. As I said, I’m a slave and do not have much free time.

App-Side: Because notification are in first time between the service and the device (not your application) you have to register your application on the device, a process through which you get a token for notifications (remember the token). This process requires a plugin and … bad news … MobiOne not have one!!! Why? I don’t know, is not complex. But reality is reality; not worth mourn.

Let me introduce “Phonegap build” (https://build.phonegap.com/apps), an Adobe service to compile in the cloud. “Phonegap build” has plugins for push notification. And good news, has a MobieOne plugin too, so, you can compile your MobieOne App in PhoneGap Build. Yay!

May be Pushwoosh is a good start point, has a free service and PhoneGap Build have a plugin (https://build.phonegap.com/plugins/150).

Therefore, the next steps are:

1) Learning to compile in PhoneGap Build. Try with Hello World done in MobiONe.

2) Study Pushwood plugin and service.

3) Build the future!

PD: In iOS you have to tell the AppId you usuará PushNotifications and generate a digital certificate for it. This is done in the Apple Developer Console

Thanks for your post Gustter,

but I need a little help here.

How do I implement the MobiOne PhoneGab plugin to my MobiOne project – where do I put the files?

You can create a twitter account for a business in 5-min. Then ask the interested users from the app to sign up to follow the twitter account? If they interested they will. Isn’t it much simpler? And of course its FREE!

I have many apps on my apple devices and I am sick of receiving push notifications. Quite frankly they are a pain in the ass and I turn them all off. In my opinion they are invasive and irritating and not worth the time and trouble.

[gustter]

I do not agree. The push notifications are very useful if properly used. On the other hand, if your customer requests it and pays for it, you have to do it 🙂
