I am about to build my first iPhone app.
I have some general questions about the way things should work, and I hope someone could help me out with some information and where I should look.
-
Regarding Push notifications. I understand that the UUID is no more allowed in apple store, and should not be used in apps anymore ? How can I send a specific user a Push notification if I don’t have his or her UUID ?
-
Regarding Terms of Use of my app, is there anything covered by apple agreement that should already cover things that I should not worry about once I am on the AppStore?
-
When the app is “Minimized” to the background, How can I still exchange data with my server
and send a push notification if something seems important on the server side ? (seen on apps like Viber, WhatsApp)
Thanks alot in advance, every piece of information/your own wisdom/link to relevant info would be great help.
1 Use Apple Push Notification Service
” A device token is an opaque identifier of a device that APNs gives to the device when it first connects with it. The device shares the device token with its provider. Thereafter, this token accompanies each notification from the provider. It is the basis for establishing trust that the routing of a particular notification is legitimate.”

2 Make a separate question for this with more detail as to what you mean.
3 Use Local Notifications
