Push Notifications without APNS

Question

I work perfectly with Push Notifications for iOS using APNS. So for some customers, I need an on-premise or local solution, where I could send notifications to the device without APNS and without dependence on the internet. Somebody knows? can you help me?

Answer 1

Not possible. You cannot get notification from APNS without internet.

What you can do to accomplish this is you send message from your server to the app while it is in background mode and generate local notification accordingly.
