Push Notifications Options

• AppCenter
  • iOS: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/sdk/push/ios (we have this in place right now)
  • Android: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/sdk/push/android
    • From the docs Note: For all the Android developers using App Center, there is a change coming where Firebase SDK is required to use Push Notifications
• OneSignal: https://onesignal.com/
  • Pros: Free, super good admin dashboard, wide use/examples/tutorials
  • Cons: They sell data to advertisers :| but! that's only for the free version https://onesignal.com/pricing?utm_campaign=upsell&utm_content=blue-button
• Firebase Cloud Messaging
  • Pros: Great dashboard, probably easier Android setup
  • Cons: It's a whole thing
  • Notes: We'll likely use part of this via the Firebase SDK no matter what because it seems tightly coupled with Android
• AWS https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/sns-mobile-application-as-subscriber.html
• AWS Amplify https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/push-notifications
• Twilio
  • Pros: Good docs, good tutorials, good price
