Events pulling instead of push notifications #8

Open hardcodet opened 7 years ago

hardcodet commented 7 years ago

Since Xamarin Forms seems to be way behind with the implementation of push messages and the integration with Firebase, I turned to this app to find guidance, only to discover that - unlike the Evolve app - you completely dropped push notifications in favor of a manual pull implementation. Which is ... surprising ;)

Does that mean that the whole push messaging story is currently so broken that we shouldn't even try to get it running with Xamarin Forms at this point? I'd rather find out now then after days of trying to get things working :)

Thanks, Philipp

Hi,

There are different possibilities for integrating push notifications with Xamarin.Forms applications. After integrating in multiple examples and applications, options such as notification hub is more than recommended. You have documentation for each platform.

There are samples like ShoppingDemo with push notifications, maybe it will help.
