I'm a bit late to this, but I'm also a little curious.

Are you planning on using SimplePush the way you'd use any data delivery channel? (e.g. for a given message event, you'd include a SimplePush remote app wake event?)

If so, that might not be the more efficient means.

You can do the same thing with the other platforms as with SimplePush, no? Won't it work the same way by sending a selective send that includes all necessary info for android, iOS and SimplePush but don't specify any particular devices and just a category, you then get a broadcast to all devices of all types for that category, correct? That is why I think the broadcast is pointless.

Your point is to remove for all platforms, or just for SimplePush ?

Yes but again when you want to do a broadcast to all the devices types and broadcast is not anymore available for SPS, does that mean that we must send 2 messages : one broadcast for "native" clients and a "empty" selective send for SPS , not sure this is effective ? I must be missing something.

that's a good point

It would be two request to the UnifiedPush Server:
* broadcast for Android/iOS
* 'selective' send for the SimplePush client

I guess having the implicit 'broadcast' category does not hurt, since this (as it is today) allows sending the broadcast to _all_ platforms via one request

I think this does make sense.

I think (and I had similar thoughts) that Kris thinks the 'explicit' (JS client side) registration for the broadcast category seems odd;

But now, after some more thoughts, I think it's a feature and we should keep it

The reasoning was that a broadcast can be done via selective if you just send to a category and don't list any specific endpoints. To do a broadcast, you specifically have to register a broadcast endpoint but then your category doesn't have any meaning so it seems like more loss than gain IMO.

Concretely what does that means ? removing "simple-push" field from the broadcast message ? 
The jira mention that we can achieve the same with a selective send but on the client side when I want to send a broadcast and being agnostic from the receiving clients I still want to use the (Unified) broadcast format. 
So my question is will SimplePush Clients still receive my message if I broadcast it (and not using the selective send) ?

+1 I agree that it makes sense to remove broadcast now.

Following up on [1], to catch a wider audience, than JIRA.

I do agree that it feels odd, for SimplePush.
