ACS Push-Notifications with UDID?

You must Login before you can answer or comment on any questions.

Hey there,

I'm managing my push-users with one channel (friend_request) and one user (admin) to automate it server- and clientside. So is it possible to notify the user by the UDID of the user instead of the UID / Channel-Name?

I've already read the docs for it but cannot found any solution: http://cloud.appcelerator.com/docs/api/v1/push_notifications/notify#rest

Thank you!

Can you please explain why you can't use ACS user id as the id for push? Any particular reason you need UDID?

  • I just have one ACS user to manage all my push-users because the register of a unique cloud-user for every push-user would not match my plans.

  • Ok that makes sense. right now our push is associated with acs users. We will make it more flexible but can you please tell me that how you want to use udid? How do you want to manage device with udid?

  • the udid can be given in the callback of the push-register. From there i can transfer it to the database and would send the cloud-notifications from there. But when the api is not ready for this operation, i need to go back to Urban Airship. Damn.

The docs you linked to reference the "to_ids" property. Looks like what you want, right?

Hi Hans,

as Shannon wrote, you can use the 'to_ids' property for sending the push to a specific user.
The UDID (which is actually a unique device identifier) cannot be used.

  • Thank you (both)! So the user_id of the push-user is not the id of the user who is logged in as the cloud user? that would solve a lot!

  • EDIT: The user_id is the user_id of the logged in user. So the service cannot be used, because the push-messages must be delivered to single people. Then i need to go back to Urban Airship, damn :-(
