What's on your mind?

Where can I find how to send push notifications?
No tutorials, no examples, nothing regarding sending pushes from the app.
I can find examples for version 3.0.11.
Nothing for 5.0.1.

Sorry for the frustration

But in 5.0.x we decided to not support sending push notifications with the SDK

Version 3 will continue to be supported, however we in general recommend using our API on your server for P2P notifications rather than sending them on the device level due to the potential security issue of exposing another user's id on the device.

If this is not your use case, could you describe why you would like to send push notifications from the app

[shefich]

Need to send notifications from the app in order to get the user back in specific amount of time. To remind him. I am using only local user id, so you can't have other users id inside the app. To send this from the server is not an option for me. If we are talking regarding new version of the SDK I thought it was about fixing old issues and adding something new. But you cut support of the main activity. Also my issues (for the previous version) from your github have never been answered. ср, 30 авг. 2023 г., 01:58 Shepherd ***@***.***>:

Oh I see, sorry for misunderstanding you

You can still send notifications from the client/your app by hitting the Rest API. Here is our Rest API documentation for creating notifications https://documentation.onesignal.com/reference/create-notification
Let me know if you have any questions

Could you clarify what you mean by "cut support from the main activity”? Sorry we haven’t answered your other issues, unfortunately they are at a lower priority for us at this time

Closing this due to lack of activity. If this remains an issue, please open a new report with updated information and we will investigate. Thanks
