Why is this the case? I would have thought it's the same in principle whether it's a central Slack server, or a central FooMumble server running Let's Chat.
(Difficulty of implementation might be high, but that doesn't seem to be what you're talking about?)
- thedufer 12y agoThere are basically two options and they both suck. Either publish one app and distribute the push notification cert (terrible idea) or each hosted site needs it's own cert and thus an Apple account/published app (pain in the ass).
- scott_karana 12y agoGotcha, I didn't realize that APNS was involved here. :)
