Re: [aerogear-dev] Possible to send anything other than version number to simple push?

Thank you, Sebastien. I'll try multiple registration. Although, I'm a bit confused. Because: 1. As far as I can see from the quick start example<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-simplepush-unifiedpush-qu...;, per SPS Client, there'll be one registration with the SimplePush server. That means I only get one endpoint. 2. So I'd use the same endpoint to register multiple times with the unified push server using different category each time. 3. When the SPS client receives a version number, how can it associate a given version number to a particular category? (I've not seen categories reaching the client.) Am I wrong somewhere above?
