- Shared404 6y agoIsn't the issue getting notifications out through the OS notification system? Unless I'm misunderstanding something about the problem, I don't do iOS dev or any webdev complicated enough to require OS notifications.
- heavyset_go 6y agoThe Push API allows for efficient push notifications without polling, I believe, but don't quote me on it. The problem is displaying notifications like you would a message notification on iOS.

- sp332 6y agoIt would be opt-in like on every other platform, isn't that enough? As heavyset_go said, it's a huge pain when a user wants a notification and can't enable one.
