[aerogear-dev] [Push] Notification Actions (iOS8)

Hi, as Corinne mentioned on a different thread, w/ iOS8 Apple introduces new UIUserNotificationActions, that can be grouped into a category (UIUserNotificationCategory). For remote notifications (aka push) those actions can be trigger by sending this JSON payload to APNs: aps { alert: {...}, category: "SOMETHING" } I'd like to add that feature to the UnifiedPush Server and the Java/Node Senders. Our own message format (see [2]) has already a categoies element, but that is used for filtering/tagging; That element is NOT related to the actual payload of the message (which the apple action/category is all about). Now, I'd like to introduce an "action-category" element inside of the "message" object, like: message: { ....... "alert":"HELLO!", ....... "action-category":"SOMETHING" } This value will be send down to the actual device (by Apple) as part of the message. The name is perhaps a bit Apple-oriented, but I think it may fit other platforms as well... Looks like Summers/Passos want to do similar for Android (see [3]). What do you think ? -Matthias [1] What's New in iOS Notifications on: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014/ (caution, for lame reasons only works on Safari O_o) [2] http://aerogear.org/docs/specs/aerogear-push-messages/ [3] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGDROID-258 -- Matthias Wessendorf blog: http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/ sessions: http://www.slideshare.net/mwessendorf twitter: http://twitter.com/mwessendorf
