Re: [aerogear-dev] UnifiedPush: Sending notifications from the AdminUI

I think it would be a huge win for the getting started experience - the docs can say 1) the iOS device will prompt the end-user (will you accept push notifications) - say Yes 2) now look for the device token in the admin console - is it there? 3) now send it a quick test message, with the app in the foreground, background, app shutdown, phone on lockscreen, etc - to learn about the behaviors.

Change it (add criteria / custom values) or just hit the "Send test Message" and it will send a push notification to the registred devices. :) On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 1:52 PM, Luke Holmquist <lholmqui(a)redhat.com&gt;wrote: > Let's do it.
