Just interested if anybody is currently working on a push notifications modification for XF2?

Cheers,

You are working on a joint venture with another developer now?

No, it’s integrated in ForumApps for XF2.

Ok cool, I thought you were teaming up with someone else, glad that is not the case.

Thats good that there will be an option available, but my member base will be reluctant to download new apps.

I was looking for more of a native solution.

I am aware as of now, iOS doesn't support push notifications, is that correct?

 

[Aayush]

iOS was the one that popularized push notifications.

Something that uses OneSignal will let them have desktop browser notifications and android mobile notifications.

iOS doesn't have service workers, so you need a native app

It looks like someone is working on a OneSignal add on here:

Actually iOS does have service workers in iOS 11.3. Not that it would do anyone any good - they haven’t implemented support for the Push API. I guess that’d be in the next iOS at the earliest but I’ve been saying that for about 4 years...
