Rich Media with Video-mp4

Introduction

Almost every app needs some way to communicate with the users. One of the main goals for the marketing team is to reach more users with relevant information, engage with them, and help to understand the value of the application. One of their favourite choices is push notifications.

When I started to work with notifications after a couple of tutorials I thought I knew everything. And with every feature request, I have found something new. This article will cover a really wide range of knowledge based on my experience.

Before we go into the details, here is a textual-based game I worked on a long time ago that uses notifications heavily. It is supported on iPhone, but more fun can be had on Apple Watch. Lifeline: Whiteout

This article will cover several topics like:

  • Local notifications
  • Push notifications
  • Silent push messages
  • How to add action buttons
