Well - Apple is pretty strict about "not following" best practices.

In iOS there is a notification centre. There the user will disable
"notification" per app (and users know that). And that's exactly why Apple
has a Feedback Service to query for "invalid" tokens.

Regardless if we all love things or not, I guess for the iOS SDK we will
not see a "unregister" hook (for those above reasons).

Kinda sucks if a developer's app got's rejected because AeroGear-iOS, and
its developers :-)

yes, I guess that's what the JIRA ticket is for, right ?


The UnifiedPush Server does have this API endpoint already:
