Today we are announcing the first beta release of our 1.0.0 version. After
the big overhaul, including a brand new AdminUI with the last release
<http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/2014/07/07/unifiedpush-0-11/> this
release contains several enhancements:
- iOS8 interactive notification support
- increased APNs payload (2k)
- Pagination for analytics
- improved callback for details on actual push delivery
- optimisations and improvements
The complete list of included items are avialble on our JIRA instance
<https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGPUSH/fixforversion/12323753>;.

interactive notifications
Besides the work on the server, we have updated our Java
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-java-client> and Node.js
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-unifiedpush-nodejs-client> sender
libraries to support the new iOS8 interactive notification message format.
If you curious about iOS8 notifications, Corinne Krych
<https://twitter.com/corinnekrych> has a detailed blog post
<http://corinnekrych.blogspot.fr/2014/07/ios8-interactive-notification-ava...
on
it and how to use it with the AeroGear UnifiedPush Server.

support for iOS
On the iOS client side Corinne Krych and Christos Vasilakis
<https://twitter.com/cvasilak> were also busy starting some Swift work: our
iOS registration SDK supports swift on this branch
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-push-ios-registration/tree/swift>;. To
give you an idea how it looks, here is some code:
func application(application: UIApplication!,
didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData!)
{
// setup registration
let registration =
AGDeviceRegistration(serverURL: NSURL(string: "<# URL of the running
AeroGear UnifiedPush Server #>"))
// attemp to register
registration.registerWithClientInfo({ (clientInfo:
AGClientDeviceInformation!) in
// setup configuration
clientInfo.deviceToken = deviceToken
clientInfo.variantID = "<# Variant Id #>"
clientInfo.variantSecret = "<# Variant Secret #>"
// apply the token, to identify THIS device
let currentDevice = UIDevice()
// --optional config--
// set some 'useful' hardware information params
clientInfo.operatingSystem = currentDevice.systemName
clientInfo.osVersion = currentDevice.systemVersion
clientInfo.deviceType = currentDevice.model
},
success: {
println("UnifiedPush Server registration succeeded")
},
failure: {(error: NSError!) in
println("failed to register, error: \(error.description)")
})}

To get easily started using the UnifiedPush Server we have a bunch of
demos, supporting various client platforms:
- Android
- Apache Cordova (with jQuery and Angular/Ionic)
- iOS
The simple HelloWorld examples are located here
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-push-helloworld/releases/latest>;.
Some more advanced examples, including a Picketlink secured JAX-RS
application, as well as a Fabric8 based Proxy, are available here
<https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-push-quickstarts/releases/latest>;.
For those of you who that are into Swift, there Swift branches for these
demos as well:
-
https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-push-helloworld/tree/swift/ios-swift
- https://github.com/cvasilak/aerogear-push-quickstarts/tree/swift

We hope you enjoy the bits and we do appreciate your feedback! Swing by on
our mailing list <https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev>!
We are looking forward to hear from you!
