Does longrange (or will it) support notifications? On my Iphone for example, even if app not opened, I get notifications (like new text message, a new paypal transaction, or new grade from kids school, etc). I can click on them which will open app and take me directly to it.
I would like to do this on longrange apps.

Re: Notifications
LongRange client does support notifications, however you'd need to have a custom version of LongRange to be able to receive notifications.
Note that LongRange does not provide any server-side API to send notifications. You'd need to either directly invoke the vendor-specific Web APIs (e.g. Apple, Google), or use one of the many cloud messaging solutions (e.g. Azure, Amazon) from your server-side code.
If you are going to do this from your RDML, the recommended approach is to use LANSA Integrator.

Is this still true no push notifications?
Re: Notifications
Push notification is only supported in custom version of LongRange, so you need to lodge an application for custom version to have push notification feature in app.
In addition to a custom version, an implementation of connection making and message sending to push notification service is needed on server as well. Each vendor has their own notification service, like Apple's APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) and Google's FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging).
If you are using RDML, you may need a third party cloud messaging service (for example, Microsoft Azure Notification Hub and Amazon SNS) because for Apple push notification, a ssl connection with certificate is needed during connection. RDML can't make a connection like this. Moreover, use a third party cloud messaging service can also help handle push notifications in different platforms.

Re: Notifications
What do you mean custom version?
We would like to move forward with a solution. Integrator programmer wants to know if class libraries can be included with app build so we can use 3rd party service (paid) rather than direct api with each provider (apple, google, microsoft).

It would be best if you contact LANSA Support to discuss your requirements.
