IPhone push notfication for webapp?

Question

Is it possible to implement the IPhone push notification feature for Webapp, which has a desktop icon? If so, how?

Answer 1

It depends on what you mean by Webapp, which has a desktop icon?

Not if you mean a web application in which you saved a link that says "Add to Home Screen" in accordance with this Apple instruction .

Yes , if your webapp is a thin CocoaTouch shell using webkit .

I have an alternative solution for this:

1) create a gmail account and get the gpush application on your iphone (configure gmail in the application).

2) notify of sending direct notification to iphone, you can send an email from your web server to your gmail account.

3) within 5 seconds. You will receive a push notification.

hope this help.

You can always delegate messaging to third-party notification applications. One great example is Boxcar (http://boxcar.io/). You can submit your web applications through your APIs and deliver them to the application. Finally, you can use deeplinks in your message to open the webapp to indicate to the user the content element that you want to pay attention to.

Answer 4

No, It is Immpossible. This is for cocoa touch apps only (AppStore). If you want more information, see the documentation .

Answer 7

You can use HTML5 to submit your own push messages. From wikipedia

"For the client side, WebSocket was supposed to be implemented in Firefox 4, Google Chrome 4, Opera 11 and Safari 5, as well as the mobile version of Safari in iOS 4.2. 1 The BlackBerry browser in OS7 WebSockets is also supported."

To do this, you need your own provider server to send messages to clients.
If you want to use APN (Apple Push Notification), you must have your own application, which must be downloaded through the App Store.

From iOS 6.0, I noticed that the WebApp icon, located on the main screen, is automatically updated after each webapp website is opened. Of course, if you change this icon on the web server. Therefore, theoretically, you can display any informative content in this icon (numbers, status, etc.), but it will not be updated instantly - only after opening and closing webkit webapp.
