IET Gen Development Blog

This is an occasional blog about IET's use of CA Gen for internal development as well as thoughts, tips and techniques on using CA Gen for application development. It is aimed at the CA Gen development professional, so please excuse the jargon and assumed level of knowledge about CA Gen. Reference will also be made to our products to put the development into context, so if you are not familiar with these, please visit the IET web site by clicking on the company logo.

Push Notification for Mobile Devices

The next release of Rapide will support Push Notification for mobile devices. Push Notification allows your device to receive messages via the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) for iOS and Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) for Android.

If the App is not active the device can display a notification message in the standard notification area and for iOS also set a badge number and play a sound to notify the user that some action is required in the app.
