I couldn't manage to find that piece of API which allows apps to alert the user with a custom screen, like what can be seen on an incoming (network) phone call over services like LINE or Viber, which even works ubder the lock screen.
Do they need similar registrations as push notifications?
What those apps are using is probably the VoIP APIs that are available. There is a full guide on how to implement such functionality here (including that incoming call screen): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj206983(v=vs.105).aspx
There is also a downloadable sample app available here: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wpapps/ChatterBox-VoIP-sample-app-b1e63b8b

I am making a push notification feature using reactnative push notification.
If I create a channel according to the reactnative push notification official statement, I can control it only when I enter the notification category in the application information of the application.
Can I use the reactnative push notifictaion library to control when I create a component within the app like Youtubemusic (below Image) and implement the push setting ON OFF control function? It doesn't seem to be in the official documentation.
I'm trying to implement this feature within the app, but I'm curious about how it's implemented in practice!
i'm not using local notification just remote
Basically, you have 2 way to achieve this: on backend side or on frontend side.
Backend
Send to backend current state of toggle settings inside your app. When backend want to send push to client, it is internally checks state of this toggle and make a decision send or not.
Frontend
All your push notifications must be send as data only and with high priority (contentAvailable: true, priority: 'high').
After that, only mobile app will control showing of push notifications, because data only push not display anything, just trigger mobile app about new message.
So, when your frontend app receive new push message, it check current user settings and make decision display it or not.
I am trying to integrate whatsapp in my react-native app. So far the resources that I have found only tell how to send a message or open whatsapp via Linkurl from react-native application. But I want to take a step further and perform action from whatsapp. Imagine like you trigger the notification and you select the Yes and No and that performs the respective actions I want to make similar functionality but on whatsapp. After a user perform certain activity from the react-native application I want to send notification on whatsapp and without opening the react-native application the user should be able to perform action. Is there a way I can achieve this functionality.
React Native/JS do not have support to 'whatsapp://' scheme.
The following Schemes Only:
mailto; //For Mailing
tel; //For Telephone
sms; //For SMS
http / https; //For Hyperlinks
You can use this method to send WhatsApp message direct to a number.
https://wa.me/<phone#>
first time asking here as i am looking for some guidance before i start coding.
I have been developing websites mostly in PHP/MySQL/Jquery for years. As I was requested to port a website to an app, I selected React Native in order not to learn 2 different languages for IOS-Android.
I subscribed to some react native lessons, as I found it very clear and fun to follow, and it indeed is.
But here I am finding that to replicate the website is a truly difficult task for me. A temporary version exists at https://app.thallo.care/app.php?language=en (view on mobile if you like). There are many fixed positioned things and floating menus that i cannot easily program on react native.
I tried webview, it works wonderfully, but i am not positive i will be able to implement notifications the way i want to, or custom app styling with inject javascript i am unsure it will work.
The only app difference comparing to the desktop version, is that the user will receive notifications. The website will have a calendar where he will add events, and i need to send notifications to the user device on the event datetime that he has set.
Now the question... Should i use webview and manage notifications on a third party app like amazon SNS or anything else, will i get per-user notifications on events with webview? (I dont need to open a specific page on the app, but it would be nice). Or should i insist on react native coding and try to replicate as much as possible, to be able to have proper notifications? Reminder - the events won't be sent by the app. they are stored in MySQL and should be stored on some other service as well (that i dont know of yet). I don't know also if the webview can handle the website programmed login-logout with $_SESSION php parameters.
I would really appreciate some guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Push notifications have been left out of tvOS (understandably so) but the docs seem to contradict themselves in alerting users to the fact that there is something new available in your tvOS app.
Here it seems to say that you can add an app badge: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Chapters/WhatAreRemoteNotif.html
Here it says they've been removed from UIKit: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/tvos/releasenotes/General/tvOS90APIDiffs/Objective-C/UIKit.html
Removed UIApplication.applicationIconBadgeNumber
Assuming the badge approach is not supported in this release, does anyone know the best practice for alerting a user that there is new content in your app without the user taking an explicit action? ie focusing on the app and showing them something in TopShelf?
I encountered the same problem and dived into this. Probably your best way is to update the topshelf with latest items, which is my way to solve this for now. You can use network calls to update the topshelf with content from your backend.
This depends on the type of application. E.g. showing the latest top movies for a movies app.
You can trigger an update of the topshelf after your network call completed using the following code:
NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(TVTopShelfItemsDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
Make sure to implement the TVTopShelfProvider which should be clear using the following documentation:
This protocol is adopted by the principal class of an app’s TV Services extension. Apps that implement this extension can provide dynamic content to the Top Shelf element rather than having the system use the static image submitted with the app. The topShelfStyle property specifies the interface style you want, and the topShelfItems property specifies the content items to display. Whenever you change the content provided by the extension, post a TVTopShelfItemsDidChangeNotification notification to prompt the system to reload your content.
Icon badges are removed for app icons, push notifications as well (except for silent push notifications).
I'm interested in seeing working code for how to compose an SMS/MMS programmatically using the latest iOS in order to include a sound file, taking into consideration that if the file is too big (unsure of the max size at this time, any info is appreciated) an error should be displayed to the user.
I know this can be done, because the built-in recorder for the apple iphone allows for sending audio files via a text message if they're not too big. I'd like to understand how it achieves this programmatically, what sound formats are available to me and what are the limitations if any.
You are not allowed to send MMS through the MessageUI framework, which is the framework iOS allows developers to interact with the Messaging interface. Apple uses private APIs in their apps, and any use of private APIs = automatic rejection in the App Store.
Raphael is right, there is currently no way in the current iOS version (iOS 5) to send an MMS using the MessageUI framework.
One potential workaround we've found was to create a "send MMS" screen, where a user can attach their selected audio / pxt, and then when the user hits the send button, make a call to a 3rd party MMS gateway to deliver the audio / image.
