yes, alias/clientIdentifier "luke@force.org"


however... that assumes, that the device did register "luke@force.org" as the "value" for the alias/clientIdentifier "metadata. (see [1] as well)

here is what we have come up with:




Draft for the AeroGear Push Message Format

The Unified Push Server allows two different ways to send message to the native Push API, of the supported devices:

  • broadcast
    • to all MobileVariants and their MobileVariant Instances (devices)
    • to one specific MobileVariant and its MobileVariant Instances (devices)
  • selective Send

Broadcast

curl -v -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" 
   -H "ag-push-application: {PushApplicationID}
   -H "ag-mobile-variant: {MobileVariantID}
   -X POST
   -d '{"key":"value", "alert":"HELLO!", "sound":"default", "badge":7,
       "simple-push":"version=123"}'

http://localhost:8080/ag-push/rest/sender/broadcast 

If the ag-push-application header is used, a message is send to a 

will the selective send also be able to send to 1 instance.  so send to my device not yours

Message Format

Besides the actual payload the API accepts a few classifiers to select a subset of registered devices.

Query component

Currently the Server will support the following query criterias:

  • alias: A list of email address (or usernames) to send messages to ALL devices of the users. Thealias needs to be stored, when the device is registering itself with the server. See here for details
  • deviceType: A list of raw devices types that should receive the message (e.g. Coupon only for iPad and AndroidTablets). The deviceType needs to be stored, when the device is registering itself with the server. See here for detailsNOTE: For SimplePush, the deviceType is ONLY web. No specifics on the actual device are used due to general limitations on "user agent sniffing".
Message Payload

The message format is very simple: A generic JSON map is used to send messages to Android and iOS devices. The applications on the devices will receive the JSON map and are responsible for performing a lookup to read values of t
