[aerogear-dev] [Aerogear-users] Aerogear Unified Push registration through a server backend

[Erik Jan de Wit]

The problem is that you don't want/need to call unregister in a normal
flow. Unregister is used for instance when a new version of you app
drops support for push notifications.

I don't get why you are proxy-ing the requests to UPS, because you
cannot have 2 applications receiving the same push notifications. On
iOS the bundle id makes sure of that, and on android there is the
unique project id. So even if a second app would register with UPS it
will not get the push notifications.
