Hi, I'm developing a mobile app for android and ios for our University. It will use AeroGear Unified Push Server to send notifications to students when a new announcement is sent in our LMS.

We are developing the app with ionic framework and we are using the register and unregister process through a custom backend service instead of direct from device.

We use the cordova plugin and we call registers and unregister JS methods, but we don't point to the push server endpoint, but backend server instead. Once the Backend server gets the requests it creates a new request to Push server providing variantSecret and variantID; the response received is sent back to the app.

We would like to use this flow for security reasons. We want to avoid that the users do their own apps and use those values to register and supply alias to get users notifications. So backend handles the security (tokens, deviceids, usernames, ... ) and if everything is ok then proxies then backend generates a new request fullfilling alias and real authentication parameters and the received parameters from app. We achieved the registation and unregistration, but when unregistration process is done if we do a new re-registration then we got a success response, but then notification didn't arrive.

Has anybody did something similar to this approximation? Do you have any advise or trick that would be useful for us?

Thanks in advance

Alex
