Will Parse4cn1 still work after Parse server retir

问题:

I've been looking for a way to send push notifications to Android, iOS and Windows phone devices. I've come across the Parse4cn1 library. This library uses Parse. However i saw on the Parse site that they will retire soon. I have the following questions regarding the Parse4cn1 library and the retirement of Parse.

• Does the Parse4cn1 library still work after Parse's retirement?
• Do i need to setup my own open source Parse server to support the push notifications and when i do this does it also support push notifications for Windows Phone? (http://blog.parse.com/announcements/parse-server-push-notifications/ says it doesn't but i'm not entirely sure.)

Kind regards,

R Visser

See this related SO question.

In any case, parse4cn1 will not support features that are not available in Parse Server. As far as I know, push is currently only supported for Android and iOS by Parse Server. So when parse4cn1 is updated, it will support those. However, I've not scheduled that update yet. Feel free to chip in if you have the time/resources to update the library and issue a pull request. I'll be glad to review and merge it.

By the way, I recently came across OneSignal which claims to offer free push notification on a wide range of platforms. I have my reservations though as they apparently sell your data and unspecified device info to third parties in return for the free push services. I'm yet to do a full evaluation so don't take my word for it. Have a look yourself and decide if it's interesting to you.

I hope this helps.
