Push notifications support

Open omkarnathsingh opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

ios Seafile clients has push notifications support? Can we have the push notifications for Android client also using GCM/FCM?

I doubt that it has push notifications.

What do you want to get pushed?

I would suggest to use push notifications for all the alerts/notifications which are mailed or appear in web client like

  • When someone shares me a file / directory

  • When I am added to a group

  • Chat mention maybe?

Thanks

Ok, thanks. Didn't knew that. Still wondering where it is being configured because I'd expect sending push notifications on iOS require some sort of account / api key.

It might be using Apple Notification as mentioned on Apple's developer website. For Android, FCM can be used under similar conditions, should I raise a issue on seahub repo also to support and add details for FCM and Android device registration?

I think it is not needed. I currently do not develop for the Seafile project, but doubt that this will be addressed soon.

Oh okay. This change will require server also to send connect to google servers and send alerts. Just doing in client will not help.
