I am creating iPhone app where I want to send notification to users who have my app. When admin login add some building, I want to send push notification. (not by going to push notification website and then sending manually)

Any idea how to get this done?

I am new to push notification.

  • Do I need to do payment at Urban for push notification? – Fahim Parkar Mar 20 '13 at 08:25
  • no not necessary., first 200 push notification is free per app. if we need further then only need to pay. @FahimParkar – Dhruvik Mar 20 '13 at 08:58
  • ohh... 200 are not enough... I heard someone have free push notification till 1 millions. – Fahim Parkar Mar 20 '13 at 09:07
  • ohh.. can you tell me which site is providing this? Beacause i've implemented UrbanAirship notification functionality in my app, around 6 months ago. till the date m not aware about this, that we can get free bunches of push notifications.@FahimParkar – Dhruvik Mar 20 '13 at 09:11

  • I implemented urban (except I didnt make account for production). also ignored "DEVELOPMENT_APP_KEY" = "Your development app key"; "DEVELOPMENT_APP_SECRET" = "Your development app secret"; Still I dnt get push notification. – Fahim Parkar Mar 20 '13 at 15:41
  • have you download certificate from your developer account? once you 've downloaded it then upload it in airship? have you followed this tutorial? @FahimParkar https://docs.urbanairship.com/display/DOCS/Getting+Started%3a+iOS%3a+Push – Dhruvik Mar 21 '13 at 03:56
  • when you adding new data in database you can send push notification. for that first of all you have to activate "Allow Push From Device" for your app. refer this post :: @FahimParkar http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12592762/urban-airship-send-push-with-nsurlconnection – Dhruvik Mar 21 '13 at 04:15
  • I got reply from Urban as `-Our Developer Edition is free and includes up to one million notifications per month. Each message in excess of 1M is billed at $.001. Rich Push messages are billed at ($.0025 per message, there is no free RP).` Means I can send 1M for free? – Fahim Parkar Mar 21 '13 at 06:06
  • I did everything as per documentation. But still I don't get notification message. At start itself it don't ask for Notification setting... any idea what is going wrong? – Fahim Parkar Mar 21 '13 at 07:39
  • I am confused at this line now "Register Your Device, 2. Add the application to your phone." means what? I believe I need to add `3. Obj C Implementation` part in my app delegate method. – Fahim Parkar Mar 21 '13 at 07:49
  • it means you have to register your device unique number on the site., so that they can recognize particular device for send push notification, and for that you also have to install same app as you have created in urban airship's website in your device. (according to your app key). @FahimParkar – Dhruvik Mar 21 '13 at 09:27
