I want to develop a push notification receiving app for BlackBerry.
I have made few apps for iOS and Android platform. In both of these platforms client app has to register with APN/GCM to receive the notifications. In return APN/GCM returns a DeviceToken/RegistrationID that uniquely identifies the device.
I am not able to find whether the same process is applicable for BlackBerry also. If yes, how can we get a unique ID in this case.

I'm trying to find a way to access content of all push notifications through notification center.
In other words I want to know what my employees/kids have received from WhatApp and SnapChat etc.
I have done some R&D to see which port of apple receive the message or to see how smart watches access push notification.
Has anyone done something similar or any hint or lead can be greatly appreciated?
In Android there is an API to access notifications but not sure about iOS!!
Ports used by apple:
https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT202944
Ports on APN
https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT203609
Access to push notifications through Bluetooth:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/CoreBluetooth/Reference/AppleNotificationCenterServiceSpecification/Introduction/Introduction.html
I am sorry to inform you that such a system is not possible in iOS . All iOS apps are sanboxed and data of one app cannot be read by another. Thats the reason you cant find any apps to read OTP password form message except the native keyboard app.
Apple will not allow any apps/service even in future as Apple devices are designed for more security and privacy. It violated basic privacy of end user and it should not be done.
Having said that , you can always control installing of apps / removing app remotely etc through MDM . You can take more control of your employees devices through a MDM software .
The documentation on ANCS is pretty clear that you can react to notifications when they are coming in, have come in, and when they are cleared from the Notification Center; however, what if I wanted to give a user the ability to configure my Bluetooth 4.0 accessory to only respond to notifications coming from a specified app?
The ideal UI for this would be a simple list of apps they either have installed or apps that have been granted access to the notification center with an on/off switch.
Thanks for editing! I wasn't sure if we were "allowed" to link to Apple documentation or not.
To get a list of the installed apps, there is no dedicated API. You can use the URL scheme trick to detect whether an app is present but its enabled state in the notification center is not detectable in any way. However, based on the URL scheme app list, you can configure your peripheral for a subset of the installed applications and you can provide additional options for the user for other apps. (Though, I think most apps that come into consideration for you should have URL schemes.)
I know about x-callback-url, and how it's possible to e.g. send a string to an app in iOS.
But is it possible to do this the other way around, e.g is it possible for an iOS app to fetch the song currently playing in Music.app? Can an app fetch a message with a specific caller ID from Messages.app?
I believe, you need to have access to their API/backend to do that. Talking directly to another iOS app is not possible.
No, I'm not a crook ;) I want my app to read the content of an SMS that my gateway has sent, for device authorization.
register a scheme for your app. add a link with that scheme in your sms, with the registration code as uri-path. by clicking that should open your app and you can process the uri.
I have a basic web app that is able to send push notifications (via UrbanAirship) to my iOS app.
My questions is, how can my webapp know that I have a new iOS app user? So I can then put the push DeviceID into a database (along with other data as required).
i.e. what is the interface for getting data into the Webapp, is it new code in the iOS app, or is there some other interface from UA?
Thanks..
I'm not an iOS developer, so it's hard for me to be too specific, but I'm assuming you need to store a device ID and (possibly) a token so that you can send messages to that device. I'm assuming (also) that you have access to this information on the device.
The correct way to do this would be to create datastore table of devices and the information associated with them (tokens, various IDs, I also like to have the last time I sent them a message, etc.) Then you send a request (should be a POST request, semantically) to your app when the user registers their device. Send the information you need in the POST request, then store it in your datastore through a handler.
Hope that helps? That's how things are done with Android Cloud to Device messages, and from my quick perusal of Urban Airship, that's how their service works, too.
This may be a pretty basic question, but here goes. I develop an iPhone app that is a third-party client for a popular webapp. This webapp has it's own iPhone app to which it publishes push notifications. Is it possible for my app to register to receive push notificatons Sent by the webapp and intended for the webapp's native iPhone app? Or is this prevented by certificate magic as I suspect?
Apple allow you to have apps with either a generic app ID in the format:
12345678.*
Or an explicit app ID in the format:
12345678.com.myCompanyName.myAppName
However, they only allow applications with explicit app IDs to register for APN (Apple Push Notification) Service. Therefore it is not possible for more than one specific iPhone app to receive the same notification.
As Farcaller says, this is not a technical limitation but an imposed one.
Hope that helps
From the technical point of view, you can register at another server with device token. You just need to know, where to register and what protocol does it use. Still you wouldn't be able to receive notifications, as they are routed depending on the application id, and you can't mimic that.
