Howdy!

Going over the code I recalled that right now we somewhat nail the device-type for SimplePush clients down to just 'web' (see [1] and [2]).

However w/ the new Java-Client, [3], (e.g. for desktop environments) it would be pretty stupid to 'require' the 'web' there as well.

Instead of coming up w/ something else, I'd propose handle it like we do Android/iOS.

Basically: Feel free to register your device with a device-type what ever you are up to; Use the same for the sending/querying part, if it fits your backend/model.

Any thoughts?

Greetings,

Matthias
