I need to implement push notification in my application.
Actually i have to receive messages from the server.
Kindly guide me how i can implement push notifications in my iphone application.

Answer 1

The client side stuff is easy, but if you want a good example we provide one that you can download http://bitbucket.org/urbanairship/push_sample/
You'll find the server side stuff to be a lot more difficult and for that I would recommend using Urban Airship because we provide a simple RESTful service you can use with lots of add-on features and the indie package is free.

caveat: I work there.

Answer 2

you need to implement these 2 delegate method in your application
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)devToken {
//NSLog(#"Entered into Method");
NSString *myDevTokenString = [devToken description];
NSLog(myDevTokenString);
self.tokenAsString = [[devToken description] stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:#"<>"]];
NSLog(#"token As String:%#", tokenAsString);
//const void *devTokenBytes = [devToken bytes];
//NSLog(#"My Token is : %#",devToken);
//self.registered = YES;
// UIAlertView *myAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"APNClient-GotToken" message:myDevTokenString delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
// [myAlert show];
// [myAlert release];
//[self sendProviderDeviceToken:devTokenBytes]; // custom method
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)err {
//UIAlertView *myAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"APNClient" message:#"called -Error- Method" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
// [myAlert show];
// [myAlert release];
NSString *errText = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"APN Error:%#",err];
NSLog(#"Error in registration. Error: %#", errText);
}
