Re: [aerogear-dev] [SimplePush] Registration with the UnifiedPush

Hi, in the message spec discussions, a while ago, we agreed that for "triggering" notifications for registered SimplePush clients, the "deviceType" needs to match "web" (see [1] for the spec). Right now, only a few "metadata" items are submitted to the UnifiedPush Server, using the "registerWithPushServer" (perhaps we should rename it ?): https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-js/blob/Notifier/src/unified-push/ae... However, I have already filed a ticket for that (see [2]), since on Cordova (and similar things) a bit more "metadata" would be nice (since they are really treated as "native" clients, with APNs/GCM setup on the UP server etc) Now... talking about metadata (including the "deviceType"). The above statement, that the "deviceType" needs to match "web" for SimplePush clients leads to a question: * Do we want to have ALL SimplePush clients auto-submit the "deviceType":"web", or not ?

If NOT, I guess that means there will be NO deviceType for SimplePush clients, on the UnifiedPush server, which is fine. But once more metadata is possible (e.g. after AGJS-56), I think we than need to ensure that a SP client does not set it's deviceType to something like "winBROwsPhone" :)
