How to do the push notification?

by Harry Chow · in iTorque 2D · 08/29/2012 (7:42 pm) · 2 replies

I've been looking around but couldn't find the solution in forum, docs or tdn. The push notification I want is just push a simple information daily on the screen to ask users to go back and play my game.

Is there any one can help on this? Thanks a lot!

Here is some useful resource I found about iAd and in-app purchase, I've implemented iAd and it works very well in my app.

I added push notifications to my app a few weeks ago. 90% of it is actually handled server-side. Your app does not actually send a notification to the phone, it is sent by a server to the apple push server which then sends it to your device id. For my needs, when the user accepted push notifications, their device id is added to a mysql database, then when I need to send a notification to them, I look up the id and push it along to the apple servers. Here is the best tutorial I found to get me started. It's pretty straightforward.
