[aerogear-dev] iOS Push Client: REGISTRATION

[Christos Vasilakis]

Hi

not sure either about providing a category and hiding the lifecycle methods. I guess, with an Xcode template that adds a "Push Support Enabled" option (with URL and ID fields if enabled), most of the code can be generated, leaving the users to edit at will if they wish.

Thanks,
Christos
