Native push notifications in Anvil app

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi there,

I was reading this great post by chad63e about integrating Firebase Cloud Messaging into an Anvil app.

I was wondering about Native Push Notifications rather than Web Push. With Native Push Notifications, there is no need for a 3rd party messaging service, since they are installed apps, right? Has anyone created an Anvil app and then wrapped it as a native app using something like PWAbuilder, which was then able to send native push notifications? If so, what would be the process for doing so? I would think it should be simpler than Web Push.

Thanks!

Oh, never mind… it seems PWAbuilder recommends using FCM for iOS push notifications in their official documentation: PWABuilder Suite Documentation

Seems odd that would be necessary when it’s a native app?
