I struggle to find a solution how can I send push notification to a mobile device from my web application. For Android there is no problem I use One Signal service. Is there a way for Iphone devices also
Thank you in advance!
Onesignal supports iOS platform too.
Using the browser app, you can call OneSignal API which in turn will trigger push notification to iOS app.
You need to have an iPhone app in conjunction with your browser app using which device token can be registered.

We are in the process of developing a PWA that should send out notifications that are visible outside the application and even when the application is closed. In other words, like when a native app would send out notifications.
However, at the moment this is only possible on Android devices, on iOS this is not yet possible.
So we are looking for ways to work around this problem.
One theory is to create a very small native app for iOS with the soul purpose to send out notifications.
Our PWA would create the notification and make it available via an API call.
The native app would do a request every x seconds to retrieve the notifications and display them on the phone.
The part where we are a bit in the dark about is if it is possible to make the notification that is displayed link to the PWA instead of the native app?
Yes maybe with OS X Push Notifications for Websites: https://developer.apple.com/notifications/safari-push-notifications/
I am not able to find a way to enable web push notifications for a PWA app. Does that work in IOS like it does on android?
No the web push api is not yet available on the iOS yet (as of May 2019)
refer here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PushManager
Now that Microsoft has deprecated Mobile App Services iOS SDK, which is referenced in some of their examples (1.2.4 vs. last 2.2.2), and is transitioning to Azure App Service, there is no clear explanation of what to link to a Swift4 (or Objective-C) Xcode 9 project to modify for the Notification hub name and ListenSharedAccess URL. Please advise with example code an reference documents. This is for iOS app push notification with Azure Notification Hubs as connecting with the backend to register tokens etc., not Xamarin iOS (for which there is an example on MSFT site).
The iOS SDK for Azure Mobile Apps has recently been updated to v3.4.0.
This page has instructions for adding push notifications to your Mobile Apps project. I would recommend the iOS app not know anything directly about your notification hub, but instead send the device's push token to your App Service, which in turn can register the device with the notification hub.
I struggle to find a solution how can I send web push notification to iOS devices? For Android there is no problem I use service worker and GCM.
But I found service worker for iOS push notifications is under construction.Is there a way for iOS devices?
If by web application you consider an app that opens in Safari the answer is: you can't send web notifications to iOS. Documentation:
Notifications for websites do not appear on iOS
If your web application is a native app with web view in it for content loading then you'll have to use native push notifications.
Is there a way for iOS devices?
It's not possible at the moment and there isn't any workaround for websites.
You need to create a native or hybrid app for iOS if you want push notifications.
Let’s ask Apple to add Web Push Notifications to iOS
I am developing NodeJS code to sendPush Notifications using Google's Firebase.
Currently it works for my Browser (I can get PN in my browser) and now would want to test the same on some iPhone app.
Is there a way to install some iPhone app to test Push Notifications?
Is there some Developer iPhone app that can serve for this purpose?
You can but it would be a static code with javascript,
It's called cordova, I've seen someone created an example of it at Android. You can export it to iOS & Windows Phone too.
