After a super quick scan, I did not see anything related to the iOS8 background location tracking -

For sure, each lib platform will provide some "extras" but before that we should agreed on a first common/unified API set accross the platforms

it is important that location-based pushes support both:
a) a static lat/long (here is my home address, here is my work address)
b) a traveling lat/long (here is where I am at right now…and right now….and now)

Interesting, this kind of features make it even more obvious to have a complete independant (Unified) Geo Server.

Hi Folks !
During our last f2f we agreed on adding some geolocation support for the next UnifiedPush Release (1.1). I would like to start here a thread to discuss this topic.
Let's keep in mind : Crawl, Walk, Run
I would like to start with a concrete proposition and initiate the discussions from there :
Installations
Model Change
The idea is to add 2 new fields to the Installation Object :
double longitude;
double latitude;
These field should be optional !
Registration
When the device registers, along with alias, categories etc ... it will also be possible to pass a latitude and longitude.
Later, we will probably offer a endpoint to update these properties. PUT /registry/device/{token}
Sender
Server Side
We need to extend the current sender API to be able to add geolocation as a criteria. I see that as something like :
{
  "message":{
    "alert":"HELLO!
  },
  "criteria":{
   "geolocation":
       {
      "latitude" : 40.2566
      "longitude": 2.36556
      "within" : 5 
      "unit" : "Km" // optional, default is Km  
       }
  }
}
In this example, the Push Notification will be sent only to devices within a radius of 5 km of the supplied location.
On the implementation side, I think it make sense to use Hibernate Search since it has nice support forSpatial queries.
Sender Client
The different Sender Clients (Java, Node.js, .net) should be updated accordingly.
Client SDKs
In this fisrt iteration, the registration code would to be updated to include latitude and longitude for :
iOS (Including Safari ? )
Android ( Including Chrome Apps ?)
JS UPS-SPS Lib
Cordova Plugin
Amazon
Windows
Retrieving the current position of the device is not in scope of this first version, later we could offer some features around that.
There are some jiras to track these tasks : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AGPUSH-828
Comments and questions welcome !
