I have an app version 1.0 which is on Appstore, now I want to update this app and also want to integrate push notifications to this app. Now my question is since the provision profile, that signed with last version ,has not been configured for push notifications, now If I configure the push notification ,will push notifications will be available on updating the app.
You need to recreate the profile, redownload it and resign the new version with this in.
You can verify it is enabled by creating an ADHOC profile and doing some live testing (which you should be doing anyway!)

Am converting apk to bar with push feature with reference of the below url,
http://developer.blackberry.com/android/apisupport/creating_push-enabled_android_apps.html.
I installed the app in Blackberry Z10 and getting the device token. But my installed app is not listing the notification enabled apps section.
Is there any other parameter to be added "android.cfg" file to make it push enabled app ?
Thanks in advance,
JRH
If your app is push enabled then it is not automatically added to the notification section of BlackBerry settings. You have to implement notifications.
Notifications
I am currently updating my App, and I am planning on including Push notifications.
The main purpose for my push notification is to let users know that the app has been updated and they should check out the new features. Now with iOS7 automatically updating apps, users are less likely to open apps after they have been updated, let alone KNOW it has been updated. As a lot of users will just clear their notification centre's with out paying any attention.
So my question is...if a user has not launched my app yet to see the alert "[myApp] would like to send you Push Notifications" - Don't Allow / OK.
Will they see my push notification before they have had chance to allow or not allow?
Do push notifications work until "not allowed" has been pressed? Or do they not work until OK has been pressed???
Thanks for your help.
If they never launched your app, your app never registered to Apple Push Notifications on their device, so you can't send them push notifications.
In addition, your server is not likely to have the device token for a device in which your app was never launched (since it's the app's job to send the device token to your server).
And if you push a notification to a device token of a device on which your app never registered to push notifications, the notification won't be delivered (even if the app is installed on the device), and that device token will eventually be returned to you in the feedback service.
Lets suppose some app developers use our SDK. Can we send push notifications to devices that use our SDK independently, without the help of hosted app?
I know that push is unique to every app , multiple push keys , settings can't be made.
But I just like to know if any other options are available.
Our goal is to send push for devices that use our SDK.
Thanks.
This is not possible using Apple Push Notifications. Sending an Apple Push Notification to an iOS Application requires a certificate that is unique for each application. You would need to receive the certificates from the developers of those apps.
In addition, the apps would have to register to APNS and send the device token to your server. This part can be done as part of your SDK, assuming the users of your SDK call some SDK method that performs the registration and sends the token.
If i wanted to test an app with push notification service, does it have to be approved in the app store?
No. You can use push notifications without ever submitting to the App Store via development or "Ad-Hoc" builds. You will however need a signed certificate from Apple, as push messages are routed through their network. Certs can be acquired with a paid Apple developer account.
I am going to upload my app at app store, n will have to upload next version of app after some time, how i can update to users regarding newer version of app?
should i implement push notification or apple will take care of this?
If your app already has support for push notifications, you can send out a notification, but it's to late if your app is published without a push notification implementation.
When your new version of the app is accepted and published by the App Store, the App Store will notify your users that an update is available. Don't bother with push notifications just for telling your users that a new version is available.
