I am looking for a simple push notification option. Had used Parse once, was not easy, and they are going away... any suggestions? Thank you, Clint

I haven't found one yet. But I think I will go with the Amazon route because they will be here forever! Check out this tutorial of how to migrate from Parse to Amazon Push.. https://mobile.awsblog.com/post/Tx3NE69QDHI7LJK/Migrating-from-Parse-Push-to-Amazon-SNS

Thank you for your response, I will check that out. In looking around, my favorite so far is Urban Airship:https://www.urbanairship.com

It's a great pity that the Buzztouch push notifications dont work. As there is hopefully more investment coming in from subscribers is this something that will be fixed?

I spent days trying to get the Buzztouch option to function. Gave up on it and that is why I am looking to other sources.

I have Push working on BuzzTouch Self-Hosted --- at present I'm only using iOS and only in Design mode. Note: There was one bug (one line of code) that had to be edited in a PHP page in self-hosted. I found the tweak noted in the forums. I will see if I can relocate the info. Again, I absolutely have push working in Design mode iOS devices, and as soon as my app goes live in the App Store I will expect to also have it working in Live mode iOS devices. Note that your self-hosted BT server must be hosted on a server that has the correct ports open in order to communicate with Apple's servers.

I mentioned one bit of code needed edited in a PHP file to get Push working on self hosted.

Hi there option going back to Parse SDK ? I have good news, for all of you who loved Parse backend, I just wanted to let you know that we’ve found out a nice BaaS service which offers 1GB free and hosts a Parse Dashboard, it’s called back{4}app and allows you to use the Parse SDK. Enjoy! Site: http://back4app.com
