[aerogear-dev] UnifiedPush: Sending notifications from the AdminUI

[Burr Sutter]

I think it would be a huge win for the getting started experience - the docs can say
1) the iOS device will prompt the end-user (will you accept push notifications) - say Yes
2) now look for the device token in the admin console - is it there?
3) now send it a quick test message, with the app in the foreground, background, app shutdown, phone on lockscreen, etc - to learn about the behaviors.

Change it (add criteria / custom values) or just hit the "Send test Message" and it will send a push notification to the registred devices.
