Another idea: iPhone Pushy

May 29th, 2010

It’s kind of annoying me now, I have no time to work on these ideas and I think they are pretty useful and should be built. If you are bored, or are looking for something cool to do, read on… this is an idea I had and it would be awesome for someone to build it.

What is it?
Basically, it’s not fun nor easy to setup a push notification system for your iphone app to get push notifications from your server. There are complicated tutorials, but they make sense to nobody!

All the user has to do is sign up, and enter their iPhone Developer Center push notification stuff and then they can access the sites API by sending requests that include the data of the push, and their API key.

I haven’t looked deeply into the push notifications API from apple yet but I have a feeling this could work.

If you have any ideas, faults or want to build it, let me know if you are going to and I would love to test it :)

Well, you can sort of use http://pusherapp.com for that. Eg: http://lukeredpath.co.uk/blog/pushing-events-to-your-iphone-using-websockets-and-pusher.html

Might be cool to have a native Apple Push notification system though.

I think what you’re referring to already exists in the form of http://urbanairship.com/products/push/ and http://www.httpush.com/ – or are you thinking of something different?
