I have created a Push Notification service for my IOS app using the code from the link below. http://woutercx.com/2013/05/09/sending-push-notifications-iphone-with-pushsharp-csharp-monotouch-client-server-side/

I have coded every thing and set up the certificates correctly for push notification in my IOS app.

The question is how do I schedule the push notification to be sent to the registered IOS devices periodically. Lets say I want my users to be notified every hour? In short i do i make use of the methods of Pushsharp to schedule a Remote notification at a specified intervals.

Since pushsharp is a library, not a service, it has no ability to send notifications periodically or delay them. The library is only able to communicate to APNS (apple push notification service). APNS does not provide the ability to delay/repeat notifications, so neither does the library.

If you need to send notifications basing on time (say, hourly), you have to set up your own service that will wake up hourly and post a notification to devices that need it. I'm afraid there is no other way to do it without external services.
