    Hi there,

    I’m getting requests from clients to be able to send push notifications to their apps and wondered if there were any tutorials on how to setup a server to send push notifications to Apple and Android devices?

    I’ve configured a few apps in Apples provisioning portal to be able to receive notifications and am looking for a php solution on the server to send them.

    Any tips appreciated.

    Steve

    I’m wondering if Mobione can work in conjunction with Parse cloud’s (https://parse.com) push notification service?

    Parse appear to require a small tweak to the build (ios, android, js, windows) in order to integrate their service.

    Here are their examples

    IOS

    Open up the ParseStarterProjectAppDelegate.m file and uncomment and edit the first line in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: to be like so:

    [Parse setApplicationId:@”U90tIKrkC6qLwSPrJE6TwX9haGPngAl5IPG6UwxH”
    clientKey:@”NM1ElywEFdLp2WuXNwIgTWkPdZ1wBiAaaPzdbiTY”];

    Android

    Specify your application id and client key in the onCreate method:

    public void onCreate() {
    Parse.initialize(this, “U90tIKrkC6qLwSPrJE6TwX9haGPngAl5IPG6UwxH”, “NM1ElywEFdLp2WuXNwIgTWkPdZ1wBiAaaPzdbiTY”);
    }

    JS

    Open index.html and update the initialization call with your Application ID and JavaScript key:

    Parse.initialize(“U90tIKrkC6qLwSPrJE6TwX9haGPngAl5IPG6UwxH”, “noUOfZBv9Dg4gUUev1U6dvsklQlVXSRupCpNQjoX”);

    Windows (js and .net options)

    Open default.js and update the initialization call with your Application ID and JavaScript key:

    Parse.initialize(“U90tIKrkC6qLwSPrJE6TwX9haGPngAl5IPG6UwxH”, “noUOfZBv9Dg4gUUev1U6dvsklQlVXSRupCpNQjoX”);

    or

    Specity your application id and Windows key in your App constructor in App.xaml.cs:

    public App()
    {
    this.InitializeComponent();
    this.Suspending += OnSuspending;

    ParseClient.Initialize(“U90tIKrkC6qLwSPrJE6TwX9haGPngAl5IPG6UwxH”, “a9NAVAT0zPpuWtGfVxp787IxjUHsx86LSJRIon1r”);
    }

    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for sharing this service and example with us. As you have probably already identified there are at least 100 different approaches/solutions to a notification service and app notification configuration and processing. We are evaluating how best to provide an open-ended model to enable users to choose an approach that works best for them. It’s not clear that this can be accomplished in a simple coherent manner. We will soon share more details as we make progress on a solution.

    Hi Wayne,

    as I’ve been looking into this further I’m wondering if you’ve cheked out Pushwoosh
    http://www.pushwoosh.com?

    They seem to have a great free/paid push service that can be integrated into apps using various methods.

    This page is worth a look if you have a minute
    http://www.pushwoosh.com/programming-push-notification/

    Be great to know what you think.

    I’ve started a new thread dedicated to Pushwoosh

    Thanks
    Steve
