I am developing an application to display push notifications.From different website I have learned that there are 2 types of push notifications (essential and plus). I would like to know the usage cost for these 2 push notifications.

i have wordpress website and create own PWA based on wordpress.
now i want to use push notification on my web app!
how can send push notification to my ios users?
[resolved in android pwa]
Unfortunately, push notifications are not yet available on IOS.
Right now, Safari only supports push notification on Mac.
If you want push notifications on IOS, you have to develop native app.
There is a workaround,the Wise Notifications plugin
It takes 5 min to setup and the website visitors can subscribe with 2 taps maximum. It uses a notifications hub app to make it possible.
While not as easy to subscribe (if the visitors don't have the hub app already installed) as usual web push notifications, it is the only quick way to reach your iOS audience.
The alternative is for you to create a native/hybrid iOS applications, publish it to the AppStore, implement Apple Push Notifications in the app and server and send notifications via APNS (Apple Push Notification service). This requires a quite a lot of effort (time or money or both).
Currently, push notifications are supported (not yet) on IOS.
Safari only is the only browser in IOS, others use webview (based on Safari) with just a UI.
I would like to use VoIP push in one of my apps. I am using it for regular notifications as well. I was wondering if Apple puts any limit to how many VoIP push can be sent in any given period of time?
No there isn't any limit for sending voip push to a device, bcz whatsapp,imo etc do the same way, and i havent faced a single problem for receiving voip calls.
So it means you can send as many pushes as you want.
Once our server ran into a bug that sending VoIP push every second to my app.
My app was rapidly filled by thousands of push records in the log in a few hours.
So I think the answer is no.
Maybe this is the reason that apple limited PushKit in iOS13: any VoIP app can abuse VoIP push as they want.
Does anyone know if iOS has a budget for remote push notifications?
That is, if an app or device receives too many remote push notifications in a day, is the app or device "cut off" or limited in some way for the remainder of the day?
I know that the Apple Watch has a budget for complication updates. I also know that there is a budget for the number of background refreshes an iOS app can request during a day. This varies depending on the iOS's determination of that app's usage patterns, being a "good citizen", battery life, etc.
If there is a budget for remote push notifications, is it at the app level, or device level? Is there any way to know when it has been exhausted?
The reason for the inquiry is that I'm considering forcing regular background activity in an app via remote push notifications. Not ideal, but more reliable than background refresh intervals.
Thanks for any help / insight you can provide.
If you are sending multiple notifications to the same device within a short period of time, the push service will send only the last one. For that reason, I do not recommend to use the push notification to trigger the method or background activity.
Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) does not warranty that push notifications are arrived all the time, it is risky!
I am working on an app that needs reliable push messages (like any voip) under ios9.
Here it says, that with IOS8+ one should use apns (registerForRemoteNotifications):
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplication_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/UIApplication/setKeepAliveTimeout:handler:
In the Optimize VOIP Apps document, Pushkit is preferred:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Performance/Conceptual/EnergyGuide-iOS/OptimizeVoIP.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40015243-CH30-SW1
Does anybody have a clue on this?
Or do they run the same code in the background?
From the documentation for VoIP Push Notifications:
The device is woken only when VoIP pushes occur, saving energy.
Unlike standard push notifications, which the user must respond to before
your app can perform an action, VoIP pushes go straight to your app
for processing.
VoIP pushes are considered high-priority notifications
and are delivered without delay.
VoIP pushes can include more data
than what is provided with standard push notifications.
Your app is
automatically relaunched if it’s not running when a VoIP push is
received.
Your app is given runtime to process a push, even if your
app is operating in the background.
The biggest advantage of VoIP Push Notifications over regular ones is in my opinion, that the app gets relaunched if it was force-closed.
In general, if you wan't to use the push notifications for VoIP functionality, e.g. to notify about an incoming call, use PushKit. It was developed for this purpose. For all other cases, use regular push notifications. Your app won't go through the review if you use PushKit for an app without VoIP functionality anyways.
I'm reading App Store Review Guidelines, and I am curious about point related with push notifications rules.
This is the rule, that confuses me, and especially second part:
Apps that send Push Notifications without first obtaining user
consent, as well as apps that require Push Notifications to function,
will be rejected
First part is clear :
Apps that send Push Notifications without first obtaining user
consent...
That means,that alert for registering of push notifications needs to be shown, but what is a meaning of second part :
... as well as apps that require Push Notifications to function ...
Is that means,that if I have messaging app, that uses Push Notifications for wake up it will be rejected, because Push notifications are heart of app like this?
