Can we send push notification to APNs from iOS device?

Question

I want to send push notification from a iOS device to another iOS device without using backend server. Is it possible for an iOS device to act like a server and send push no

Answer 1

You also need to consider Server costs (other than maintenance and development time if you code your own server).

By sending the push directly from the app device:
- you obtain a much better scalability (since you don't have to centralize everything on your server)
- you don't have to pay for server cost or other service's cost

You can use for iOS: - https://github.com/noodlewerk/NWPusher Pusher

And for Android: - Send push notification GCM by java
