app42 chat realtime

Question

Hi, stephertz team:

  I use app42, I want to write a chat function in our app, I send message to a friend by push notification, beacuse it is real-time.

But if a user close the push notification of my app in the iphone, he will not receive any message real-time.

Is there a way to solve it?

Hi,

There is no way to recover lost notifications. Also, there is no guarantee that you sent a push and that will be delivered even if the app is open.

But there is another way here using App42 StorageService. What you can do is when you send a push notification, save the same on the storage when you open the app you can check the storage for the messages, if there is message you can fetch. That way you can maitain the chat history also if required.

Hope it will help.

Hi,
We do have a product called AppWarp( http://appwarp.shephertz.com/ ) that supports message sending using tcp/udp protocols. You can get more details here( http://appwarp.shephertz.com/game-development-center/ios-game-developers-home/ )

Let me know if you have any other doubts regarding this.

Thanks.
