Hi Lucas,

Following might do what I want (sending a "door bell" message in one shot to all variants)?  Send a unified message like the following one:


One slight deviation is that mobile variants like iOS and Android will get the message regardless of whether the the version number is "old" or not.  Is this correct?

So I revisited the SimplePush spec, and I noticed it describes support for subscription to multiple channels.  

Aerogear doesn't allow multiple channels per installation, correct?  I dug up an old post from Matthias:


If an installation can subscribe to multiple channels, then it would allow me to get what I originally asked about:

Me: 'My client application (javascript on browser) holds multiple types of data.  It would be nice if I can send a notification saying "there's an update for this data type", rather than just "there's an update".  Or, in general it'd be nice if I can send more information than just a monotonically increasing number. '

What do you think?

Thanks, Lucas.  I read the spec yesterday and ended up looking at disturbing auctions for 30 minutes.  I'll read it again.

Another question, is there a way to send a "door bell" message *in one shot* to all iOS, Android, and SimplePush variants?

well, iOS and Android notifications aren't really doorbells,  but you can send a "message" to all clients that are registered in your Push Server.

we have a Java client 

and a node.js client  for this

SimplePush works only as a "door bell" to tell your app,  hey,  you should go look on your server.

Hi,

Yesterday I managed to send my first message to a browser.  Thanks for all your help.

I've tried sending a few different types of messages, and it so far appears to me the only thing I can send to a simple push client is a version number.  Can a simple push client receive anything else other than version numbers?  If so, what does the sender need to do, and what does the client need to do?  (If there is a good example somewhere online I can work from that also.)

My client application (javascript on browser) holds multiple types of data.  It would be nice if I can send a notification saying "there's an update for this data type", rather than just "there's an update".  Or, in general it'd be nice if I can send more information than just a monotonically increasing number. 

Here's my setup:

  • AeroGear Push Server 0.10.0 hosted on OpenShift.
  • Sender is a JBoss app using org.jboss.aerogear.unifiedpush.JavaSender (unifiedpush-java-client-0.5.0.jar).
  • Client is a web browser using aerogear.js 1.4.0.

I read this documentation, but my wishful thinking refused to interpret it as saying: SimplePush variants use the "extra simple-push object" only.

Thank you,

Michi Oshima
