Hello,

now that the 1.0.0-final is pretty much out for the UnifiedPush Server,  i’m starting to look at the new API that Chrome apps use for sending push notifications.

the TL;DR of it is,  it’s basically the same as Android now.( no more refresh tokens and access tokens and such )

 

Maybe stupid and totally undoable but could we not use the current Android infra in UPS also for Chrome Apps, is there any difference ? In this case we could have a variant type "GCM" (just renaming the android type)  , a Chrome App Variant will then just be a of the type GCM like an Android variant.

I just ran a quick test using an android variant as a "chrome app”,  and all worked perfectly.  was able to register with AeroGear.js to the UPS and get sent a push notification to my chrome app.

no code changes needed on the UPS side of things!!

We might want to rename the Android Variant to GCM or something similar similar since the network is now used for both types of applications.

This will probably also be the same thing when adding Safari Push notifications since it also uses APN’s,  although there are some slight differences

So, really,  some one can use the new Chrome API stuff today with the UPS,  they just need to create an Android Variant

 

So the question is,  do we need to have a deprecation period on what is currently there?

The v1 of the chrome pushMessaging api has become legacy and it is recommended to use the new stuff.  https://developer.chrome.com/apps/cloudMessagingV1

While i have looked to deeply,  it’s possible we can use the same “Variant” structure for Chrome Apps,  Since they will be using the same Network

wdyt?
