Open Source C# (Mono Compatible) Library for Sending Push Notifications To iOS Apps



http://maniacdev.com/2012/08/open-source-c-mono-compatible-library-for-sending-push-notifications-to-ios-apps/


Here’s a C# library (Mono Compatible) that allows you to send push notifications to iOS apps along with Android, Windows Phone, and some support for Blackberry applications.
Here’s a list of features from the readme:
- Supports sending push notifications for many platforms:
- Apple (APNS – iOS – iPhone, iPad)
– Android (GCM/C2DM – Phone/Tablets)
– Windows Phone 7 / 7.5 (and 8 presumably when it’s released)
– Blackberry (Not fully functional)
- Fluent API for constructing Notifications for each platform
– Auto Scaling of notification channels (more workers/connections are added as demand increases, and scaled down as it decreases)
– Asynchronous code where possible, use of library is very event oriented
– 100% managed code awesomeness for Mono compatibility!
You can find the library PushSharp on Github here.
You can find a tutorial illustrating how to use PushSharp with iOS applications in the Wiki here.
