Because Facebook and Google are well known for not making
arbitrary changes to public apis and configurations.
More importantly as an Open Source project hitching our code to
the configuration of a third party proprietary system is
terrifyingly bad karma.
I disagree. We offer free OS code for these services, and users are
likely using them, therefore it's nice to have these explicit config
Yes it is
nice to have.
Push is an exception ONLY because there isn't an equvalent open
solution which has the same reach to devices.
I don't think that push is an exception due the lack of an OSS
service, which the same range. Even in the case there was something
like that, we'd still have same config for GCM/APNs, for a good reason
You are
conflating the two arguments. If Push had a simple standard
configuration that didn't require propriety APIs and code then I would
make the same argument. Test their providers for compatibility, show
examples using those providers, and document how to do it. We would NOT
hard code their proprietary configuration into our libraries.
As it stands there is NO standard for Push that is available to 99% of
devices in the same way OAuth2 over HTTP is. The open source solutions
do not have the breadth that we need RIGHT NOW. So we link against and
include explicit in code support for proprietary services. Each Push
implementation is its own bespoke implementation that we hide behind
PushRegistrar interfaces.
