There appears to be no clear answer to this specific question, so I’m hoping someone can point out if remote push notifications on the client device (specifically iOS and Android) can be enabled if using PhoneGap Build and not using plugins like UrbanAirship. So the requirements are:

  • Remote (not local) push notifications on client device
  • Ability to enable remote notifications without 3rd party plugins
  • Using PhoneGap Build to compile the client application

Building the server-side won’t be a problem, but I really do like the PhoneGap Build service. If this is possible to do, what are the rough requirements on the client source (i.e.: Apple/Dev cert, special directory outside of www, etc.)

Thanks for the input!

    Ok after a lot of time and research, as well as changes in the PhoneGap Build service, the definite answer is no this cannot be achieved without a plugin. It requires native code to execute the request for a device token.

    As of August 2012 the progress on the PhoneGap Build service has been slow but there is a lot going on in the background. PGB will host/developed plugins themselves, and since a non-Build plugin for push notifications already exists it’s likely that a new plugin will be developed for the Build service.

    In the meantime, you’ll need to build your app locally or simply play the waiting game.
