A small prototype to pioneer the use of web-push notifications to iOS and Android devices in my hacker clan.
Apple first announced web-push support for Safari in June 20221, but only added iOS support in March of 20232. Apple published documentation on the matter which conforms to web standards3.
You don’t need to join the Apple Developer Program to send web push notifications.
To learn about web push, you need to understand service workers.
Notes
- Registering a service worker
- Microsoft article on push notifications
- Article on push notifications
- Service Worker Cookbook entry on push clients
- Served with NGROK
