Once your application is featured on the App Store and Google Play, you’ll be able to send push notifications!

First of all, to be able to send notifications, your app must be set as“published” (We can only do this after your app is live in the app stores). For this to happen, you need to contact the Gappsy team through the Live chat button in the right bottom corner of the Gappsy.com website, and tell them your app name + the email of the Gappsy account that created the app. The Gappsy team will change the Status of your app to published, so that you can send out push notifications with your app.

You also need to have your pem. certificate. If you published your app on the Apple Appstore on your own, please make sure that you send the pem. certificate to the Gappsy team. Without it, you can not send out push notifications on Apple.
