Push Notifications Overview

The Appery.io Push Notifications feature allows sending push messages to users who have installed your app.

There is a difference when it comes to creating an app with Push Notification services in jQuery Mobile and Ionic apps.

🚧

Important Note!

The option of creating new apps with the jQuery Mobile framework was removed but we still support the projects that were created with it earlier.

In a jQuery Mobile app, all Push Notification services are created automatically, while in an Ionic app, importing the Apperyio Push plug-in with the further invoking its PushRegisterDevice service is needed to register a device in Apple/Google push services and add it to the Appery.io Database.

To send a Push Notifications message, the app must be installed on the device (Cordova/PhoneGap app).

While Push Notification messages be cannot delivered when running the app with the Appery.io Tester app, you are free to use Live Debug builds for testing pushes.

  • Before Push notifications can be sent, the service needs to be enabled in the app and in the backend services (server). Please check this link to find more details.
