[aerogear-dev] [SimplePush] Registration with the UnifiedPush

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hi,

in the message spec discussions, a while ago, we agreed that for
"triggering" notifications for registered SimplePush clients, the
"deviceType" needs to match "web" (see [1] for the spec).

Right now, only a few "metadata" items are submitted to the UnifiedPush
Server, using the "registerWithPushServer" (perhaps we should rename it ?):
https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-js/blob/Notifier/src/unified-push/aerogear.unifiedpush.js#L48-L52

However, I have already filed a ticket for that (see [2]), since on Cordova
(and similar things) a bit more "metadata" would be nice (since they are
really treated as "native" clients, with APNs/GCM setup on the UP server
etc)


Now... talking about metadata (including the "deviceType"). The above
statement, that the "deviceType" needs to match "web" for SimplePush
clients leads to a question:

* Do we want to have ALL SimplePush clients auto-submit the
"deviceType":"web", or not ?

If NOT, I guess that means there will be NO deviceType for SimplePush
clients, on the UnifiedPush server, which is fine.

But once more metadata is possible (e.g. after AGJS-56), I think we than
need to ensure that a SP client does not set it's deviceType to something
like "winBROwsPhone" :)
