I'm using Appcelerator's cloud services to send push notifications.
I'm sending notifications from both their web admin console as well as using their REST API. 2 iOS devices successfully subscribed, and i sent them notifications, but the devices never get the notification.
All ceritificate and provisions on Apple's dashboard seems correct. all Appcelerator's cloud responses seem successful, but still the notifications never display on the devices.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I am using AWS SNS to send push notifications to all of my Android and iOS devices.
On Android when I send push notification to all my devices, SNS correctly disables inactive endpoints, i.e. endpoints pointing to the app which was uninstalled by the user.
However, on iOS, this is not working. Even if a user deletes the app and then I send a push notification to all devices - the endpoint is still enabled. On iOS endpoints never become disabled even if the app is uninstalled.
Does anyone have any idea, why endpoints are not getting disabled on iOS devices?
I have built an application using phonegap. So far, all of the application features work in both Android and IOS. Now, I would like the app to receive push notifications.
I plan to use Firebase but a friend has warned that FCM can only send push notifications to IOS if a user manually types a message into the FCM console (As in there is no API which would allow my server to send push notifications to IOS manually). The docs haven't helped me prove or refute this warning. Can anyone tell me if I can programmatically send push notifications to IOS using Firebase?
Yes, it is possible to send messages to iOS through Firebase Cloud Messaging through its (server-side) API. You can either just target iOS devices, or send a message to both iOS and Android devices with specific details for each platform.
For full documentation, see https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/send-message.
I have implemented push notifications in my application and receiving them without any issue. Problem occurs when my app is in offline, if I send more than one notification at that time (eg.5 notifications), when my device comes to online it is receiving only the latest notification.
Even when I checked with the apple documentation it is clearly mentioned that APNS will retain only the latest push notification received from 3rd party server.
But how all the other apps like(social networking and chat apps) could able to send multiple notifications when device goes to online from offline.
Do we have to implement specifically or we have any 3rd party providers or frameworks which gives the service.
If any 3rd party providers are giving the service, how they are doing? does apple gives any feedback server whether the notification is delivered to the device or not so that our 3rd party server can send the undelivered message again?
You can resolve this by external services which gives you several advantages:
1) send push notifications asynchronouslly
2) send multiple push notifications
3) easilly subscribe unsubscribe
I have used Urban Airship and have been sutisfied.
Just wanted to conform if my understanding is correct. As per my understanding, the mechanism involved in delivering the push notification to iOS App is Server -> GCM -> APNS -> iOS App. I am an iOS developer and I know that Apple strictly never allows a server other than APNS server to send a remote notification to iOS App. So, just wanted to know whether the notification is directly pushed to the iOS App from GCM or, via APNS.
Push messages are always sent by APNS.
What services like Google Cloud Messaging or Parse.com do is facilitating the administration of push messages - eg enabling an app to switch pushon or off for an app, or group users so you can send push messages to certain user groups instead of all of them.
GCM is not involved in Push Notification in iOS.
It is carried out through APNS.
Please refer

It will clear all your doubts.
Everything will be clear if you just look at image:
Its showing complete APNS process. This is the process for iOS, no GCM included for iOS.
Hi my team is implementing IOS MDM. We have Enterprise license. We are able to send payloads and commands to the iOS device.We are receving result from IOS Device.But while send the push notification it is not performing any thing. Even in IPCU log also no issues are showing.
We are using JavaPNS for sending push notification.Almost every thing we implemented in IOS MDM except push notification.
But when i install IOS application and sending push notification using JavaPNS it is showing push notification.
1) is it possible to send push notification for IOS MDM services ?.
2)Can we send push notifications without installing IOS application on the IOS device.
Any advice would be appreciated.
We are able to send payloads and commands to the iOS device.We are
receving result from IOS Device.
How do you send payloads and commands to iOS device? Are you sending them through MDM?
If so, the only way to let device get new commands, profiles from a server is to send "wake up" oush notification through APNS.
But while send the push notification it is not performing any thing.
That's where I got confused. In the case, if it doesn't do anything, device will never contact back a server and it will never receive commands. However, you said that it does.
But when i install IOS application and sending push notification using JavaPNS it is showing push >notification.
I believe this is your problem - confusion with terminology.
MDM protocol doesn't require any iOS application to be installed. iOS operation system has mdm agent built in. As soon as you configured MDM (installed MDM payload) and a device received "wake up" push notification (through APNS) then MDM agent will contact your server and request new commands.
On other hand, you can create some application (which has nothing to do with MDM) and send push notification to it.
The only common thing between this and MDM is push notification transport. However, the push notification message which is send for MDM purposes ("wake-up" message) and to applications ("badges", "sounds" , 'messages") are different.
Please, can you review your question and try to separate out what works and what doesn't.
