Set up iOS notifications

[alanmoo]

It would appear that in order for notifications to properly work on a self-hosted mattermost instance that we need to compile and distribute the app ourselves, and configure a push proxy.

It's important for adoption to make it easy for users to install the app, so we may need to distribute it thorough the App Store. This is because of the way push notifications work on iOS- they need to be delivered from a server to a client app that are signed with the same key.

• [ ] Set up notification proxy server
• [ ] Build iOS application with our keys
• [ ] Submit to app store or distribute using alternate method
• [ ] ...
• [x] non-profit!

I have an Apple Developer account (and a Mac, I'm not sure @cadecairos has access to one), so I'll take a swing at this.

@simonwex does MoFo have its own iOS dev account?

I don't have access to a mac. We're going to have to create a way to deploy the notification proxy to heroku. I can whip up an inline buildpack like I'm doing for mattermost that will work.

Sounds good, and I'll get familiar with building the iOS app so we know how to deploy it
