Developed hybrid application using IBM mobile First studio as per windows phone application 8 is concerned I have upgraded this to Windows phone 8.1 using Visual Studio 2013.

In order to add push notification concept(WNS) to my application. Followed the following steps

  1. Imported project to VS 2013 --> Re targeted to 8.1
  2. Opened Package.appmanifest.xml --> Application Tab --> Toast Capable-->Enabled(yes)
  3. Lock screen notifications --> Enabled(Yes)
  4. Opened WMAppManifest.xml --> ID_CAP_PUSH_NOTIFICATION --> Enabled
  5. Selected WNS as the notification service in app’s Package.appxmanifest file.
  6. This is the architecture I am following.

Where else should I modify my Java coding to make it Push Enabled application.

Also what kind of cloud service should I use in here? Currently I have researched about AZURE mobile services will this be the only one, since it is recommended by Microsoft in my DEVELOPER DASH BOARD.

  • WNS is applicable only to Windows 8. If you are working on Windows Phone (Silverlight) , then you need to use MPNS notifications. While adding environments, which one did you choose? – Vivin K Nov 04 '15 at 17:25
  • Hi @VivinK I have chosen Windows phone 8 Environment and FYI [this link](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn642085%28v=vs.105%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) clearly shows that we can use WNS for Windows phone (Silver Light), I have also seen a Video by Microsoft where they clearly projected that in future windows(Desktop & Mobile) stays on WNS. – Naresh Gubbala Nov 05 '15 at 06:34
  • My response was with respect to what MobileFirst supports. In MobileFirst, WNS is supported only on Windows 8 and not Silverlight. Only MPNS works for Silverlight projects , in MobileFirst. The future shift to WNS is with UWP. There will be no Silverlight then. – Vivin K Nov 05 '15 at 09:57
  • Oh thanks for clarifying on that @VivinK – Naresh Gubbala Nov 07 '15 at 20:46

As mentioned by Vivin, in MobileFirst you cannot use WNS for the Windows Phone 8 environment.

First change your configuration to use MPNS as the MobileFirst user documentation dictates and open a new question if you have any additional issues after changing the configuration.
