Push Notification questions

Hi,
I have been undergoing some push notification issues and I would like to have some doubts cleared out before taking incisive action;
- it seems that we cant get push notifications for a Newsstand app working on iPad1 with the latest supported iOS for this device installed (5.1.1). Is it an unsupported feature? Because it seems that it works fine on other devices with latest iOS installed;
- Also, some users complain they dont get push notifications delivered. I believe this is an users iPads configuration issue, since I get them working on some devices I checked, but it would be nice to have better arguments for it.
I would like to know if the Notify feature on DPS works only if user had not yet opened the app and received the custom notification for a new issue available for download. If, after checking it and downloading the issue, it wont receive the Notification through DPS and app wont show the bullett counter (or, if newsstand subscriber, the NEW banner wont be displayed on latest cover). Having this feature working on this scenario would help me on testing users notification issues;
- users complain that exclusively iPad mini dont get any notification at all. Their iPad mini rendition is adapted from the normal iPad (1024x768) - due to similarity in screen size and pixel density. I suppose it operates the same as the iPad, but I would like to check it anyway.
Thanks,
Pedro

Universal Apps and Push Notifications (Question on both Store and Phone app)

I have a Universal App and trying to implement notifications. I have an Azure Notification Hub and the code in the app.xaml.cs (shared) file that is creating the channel and binding to my notification hub. This all works great for the Windows Store app.
However, I don't receive any notifications on the Phone app (running in the emulator). I am wondering if this is because the code to create the PushNotificationChannel is only registering once (the Store app) and has the same URI as the phone app. This line
of code is what I am referring to:
var channel = await PushNotificationChannelManager.CreatePushNotificationChannelForApplicationAsync();
Since this is by application, and I am essentially running the same app twice on the same machine, via the phone emulator, is only one URI being generated for this?
Thanks for any assistance.

When you created the push notifications in the Azure, you chose the code fr Windows Store, not Windows Phone. as you mentioned you having a universal apps.
Hint: Did you enabled push notifications for local testing ?
This is the 4 steps to have a successful Push notification integration with your app
Register your app for push notifications
Update the service to send push notifications
Enable push notifications for local testing
Test push notifications in your app

Free subscription/ Push notification question

I've been reading up on posts in regards to the notifications sent through the Folio Producer.
From what I understand, hitting notify will send the blue "A new issue of _____ is now available" notification that appears once they open the Newsstand app.
Is there a way for this notification box to appear without the user having to open the app?

Push Notification question

Would Gold Support be able to assist with an issue I'm having with our APNS Development Certificate? If not, besides the iOS forums where I've already posted, is there a good place to look for potential assistance? (The problem is I don't see a key associated with the certificate in Keychain Access so I can't generate the .p12 for my final step in the Viewer Builder).

You're using Apple's tools to create the certificate, so you might want to try the Apple developer forums. But first, I would try a couple things. Close and reopen the Keychain Access utility (you might even want to restart your computer). Then use the import command in the Keychain Access utility to import the .cer file you downloaded from the iOS Provisioning Portal. If the key stil doesn't appear under the certificate, revoke and delete the push certificates and try again.

Question about push notification

I am currenty on a cap plan with limited amounts of Internet. How much internet approx does push notification use? So that at least I have an idea of how much I can use mobile me.
Thanks

It depends on how much email you get, the size of messages, and how often you update contacts and calendar. In general push will use less data than fetch, because fetch establishes a connection every 15 minutes (or whatever you have it set to). Push only establishes a connection when there is an update to be synced. Unless you regularly get large attachments your email usage will be pretty small, and correspond to the total size of the emails you send and receive. Web browsing and use of data-intensive applications (like Google Maps) will be the vast majority of your data usage.

Question about push notifications for apps affect on battery life?

I've noticed that after installing certain "Push Notification Enabled" apps that my iPhone's battery drains very quickly even when said apps aren't running. I've read that if an app makes extensive use of push notifications that it can drain the battery, but I haven't received any notifications from said apps. Does simply having a number of push enabled apps installed drain the battery cause faster than normal battery drain?
I don't really care about the push notifications for many push enabled apps, but I do like to have it enabled for certain ones. Would disabling notifications for all but the apps I use actually save battery life? I would think that since push messages are sent from the app owners server to Apple's push servers to the phone, that disabling notifications on the phone for an app or even deleting the app itself would not prevent the actual data from being pushed to the phone. In other words does disabling notifications (or deleting the app) actually prevent the data from being pushed to the iPhone or does it simply tell the iPhone to ignore the pushed data? The former would not increase battery life while the later would.

I've learned that it's not the number of apps that use push notification that drains the battery, but the number of apps that actively use it to send messages.
If push is turned on, the battery will drain slightly faster since the phone needs to maintain a constant 3G (or GSM) connection open, but no data is actually sent or received unless you receive a push notification.
In the case of push email, a push notification triggers the mail app to make an outbound IMAP4 connection. Depending on how often you receive email, this can decrease the battery life. If you receive lots of emails every few minutes, using 15 minute fetch will be more battery efficient. If you receive emails every few hours, push is more efficient.
For apps, it doesn't really matter since the apps can't initiate a network connection unless they are running. I'm not sure if app servers constantly sending push notifications when the notification for those apps is turned off drains the battery any faster or not. From what I've read when push notification are turned off for an app, Apple's push servers will tell that app's servers to not perform a push. In other words, Apple won't push app notifications to the phone for apps where notifications are disabled or the app isn't installed.

Push Notification Service question

Everytime I try to start the Push Notification Service I get the following error.
2009-09-16 15:24:49.378 serveradmin[84545:1707] Exception in doCommand: * -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value (key: domain)
notification:error = "NILRESPONSEERR (* -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value (key: domain))"
Any ideas

This is what I got. I'm having the same error when I try to start Notifications:

Push notification service server question

can we use custom (not adobe) push notification service server for our apps with pro dps account?

thank, bob
when adobe-hosted push service will work correct?

Sending Push Notifications with Adobe DPS

Question.
I'm testing out all the Adobe DPS and Apple options. And one of the things I would like to test is Push Notifications.
I followed the iPad publishing guide to be able to get all the certificates so that's ok. Then I was looking for a way to send
push notifications. Because Adobe DPS doesn't really have a UI environment (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong ;-) to send push
notifications I have to do it 'by hand'. When I tested my app on my iPad I got the "app name wants to send you push notifications",
so i'm sure my certificates are working. Now I just need to send a push message.
So I followed this great tutorial:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/3443/apple-push-notification-services-tutorial-part-12
I was able to do everything and was able to send a push notification ... but I never received it. And the reason for this is because
I don't have the app device token, which is a 64 character serial number which acts as your app address. So I don't have any way of sending the notification
to my particular app. (which is a test sideload multifolio app).
Because the Adobe DPS is cloud based you don't get any code (which I love). But I think that is currently stopping me
from finding out my device token.
What I'm asking:
- Does this mean I can't send any push notifications to Adobe DPS created apps?
- If this is supported somehow, I suppose (again, correct me) I need the app device token for the created app. Where do I get this?
Thanks !

At this time, it's not possible to manually push notifications. When you enable push, only publishing a new folio displays the red badge. At some point, when third-party push is supported, manual pushes will be possible.

Newsstand Subscribers and Push Notifications

We have a free publication on the newsstand which is getting good attention and downloads from users, we are facing two major challenges to keep the readership of the magazine as high as the downloads, those are :-
- Not knowing who subscribed, we have looked everywhere and even asked the support team and it seems there is no way for us to know who subscribed to the magzine (free in-app purchase), so we can contact/communicate with, which is creating a huge gap between us and the readers, we are pretty active on social networks, but with the fact that we have no clue who subscribed, this is very challenging, any recommendations on this issue ?
- Push Notification, unfortunetly being a pro member we cannot send a messege to the subscribers/app downloaders about new issues, we can only send a notification which will will show a red badge/ribbon, and this does not sem to be effective and is not helping in increasing the number of downloads per issue ! and this is actually not to Adobe's advantage because this will end up slowing folio downloads which adobe sells in bundles !
I would love to hear from the Adobe guys and other fellow members on how to tackle those challenges, and would also want to hear from Adobe if there is any option for Pro customers to send 'messege notifications to drive higher folio downloads.

Very interesting questions!
First: in DPS Dashboard you see only the user id (not the Apple id)... the same also in iTunes Connect.
Second: How is the message that Enterprise admin can send to subscribers? Can you send a screenshot?
Many thanks!

Viber can't access Push Notifications

I deleted Viber from my Iphone 4, after it duplicated and scrambled the Viber address book. Reinstalled the App, and now get a error message saying "Viber can't access Push Notifications". Checked Settings/Notifications, and Viber is "On". Tried the solutions offered by other Iphone users a) Entered 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 into my wifi DNS. Does not work. b) Depressed the power button and home button at the same time to "force" the App. Does not work. c) Installed Ipush Test App. Does not work.
My phone is not jailbroken, Viber worked before, every App that uses Push Notifications work, reported the problem to Viber, no response!! Can somebody HELP me. This App is driving me CRAZY!!

Hi,
This is an official representative of Viber Media.
Please try to uninstall>reinstall Viber, make sure you have the latest version available (2.3)
Viber requires all Push Notification settings to be enabled. Otherwise, it will show the error message requesting to do so. In addition, another possible cause for this problem might be the fact that your iPhone is jailbroken/hacktivated, and that interferes with Push Notifications in your iPhone. Our support team might be able to assist you further with this issue - please thoroughly read this page in our official Help Desk: http://bit.ly/uRG1Dw
(At its bottom you may contact our Support Team if the solutions outlined in it were not sufficient).

Push Notifications to end users and Conditional Success Screen Name ?

Hi,
Scenario: PO Approval
Description: I am developing a PO approval application with 3 levels of approval. The HWC application is based on the push notification ( DCN with payload ). When a PO ( Purchase Order ) is created/modified the end user will get the notification. Once the first 2 levels of approval is done from the mobile devices the notification should reach the 3rd level for approval. And Conditional Based Users only View there Profiles, If an User1 Approved PO Approval then only User2 Will get Push Notification but for User3 it will not Visible, Oncethe User2 Approved then Only User3 will get Push Notifications and these 3 Profiles have to be log in Based on Condition Name & Conditional Success Screen Name.
Question: How to set to which user the notification should reach. In the "to" field of JSON when I am providing "supAdmin" means the notification will reach all the devices who has the application. Once a PO is created the notification should reach only to user in the first level. Once he approves the PO, then only it should reach to the user in the 2nd level. And finally 3rd level.
Here Conditional Name is the best way to Log In or is there any other way to show the User based Log in Details, Because Here I am showing a List of Items Based On Log In, and Based On Log In user Has to view there List of Products and Status.
How to manage this situation.
Midhun VP can you please help me on this.
Thanks,
Vamsi K

Yes, DNS is is fundamental for networks, even for Windows networks. The DNS is working well for the existing Windows network and there are no problems in distributing certificates etc.
There are more than 150 users and 180 devices on the network without DNS problems.
I don't know how to discover a DNS problem... Windows works well.
DNS resolves fine... dig does it for "a" records and "ptr" records. nslookup resolves, too.
When the problem is a faulty DNS, why does the usage of users/devices from OD work with Profile Manager?
Renaming and/or migrating the ActiveDirectory is not possible. First, I want to be sure that there is a faulty DNS.
The .local TLD is not optimal for Bonjour/mDNS but I can't believe that there is no workaround
