1354626 - Consider using remote notification alerts for send tab / push notifications

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: Firefox Accounts, enhancement)

Description

[James Hugman [:jhugman] [@jhugman]]

Currently we are using local notifications for Sent Tabs

Now Push Notifications are beginning to work, we should probably use the native mechanism to re-write the alerts as they are received (at RemoteNotification received time, rather than collection_changed time).

This requires a change on autopush.

For iOS9: 
Use a badge message in the push notification itself, along with the payload. Decrypt and parse the payload on startup. There is a diminishing return for supporting iOS9.
