Hi there,
iOS makes up a relatively low percentage of devices in the world market. I can assume Glide can access the data on the percentage of devices are using iOS in the Glide software?
Further to this, Glide’s business model has evolved to be more focused towards B2B or at least geared away from high traffic social style Apps. Would this not mean that push notifications not functioning for iOS would only inconvenience a minority of people who pay for Glide paid subscriptions? If true, then why disadvantage the majority of paying customers? It was working wonderfully for us.
I can understand that there’s a race on for the lead in AI and Workflows but without basic App features like notifications, what defines the difference between a Glide App and a website besides being able to install it on your device?
Apple are not relaxing their requirements, the opposite is true. So exploring alternatives for a solution within Glide might be the best way forward. Have you explored Foreground In-App Notifications? (When the App is being actively used)
Can’t recall seeing this many votes for a deprecated feature in this community. Or any feature.
Hey, sorry I dont get it, my latest info is actually the Push Notification is working on PWA, only the deeplinking on iOS was the issue… Or am i misunderstood something ? In this case I dont understand why it cannot be part of GLIDE… this is extremely uncomfortable… Anyone know a workaround which actually works ?
Push notifications are a crucial feature in modern apps, and integrating them into Glide would significantly enhance its functionality. We use Glide to assign tasks to our field users, and it’s essential that they receive immediate notifications when a new task is assigned to them. Currently, relying on email or other indirect methods causes delays and inefficiencies in our workflow.
Real-time push notifications would ensure that our users are instantly alerted within the app, allowing them to respond promptly. With the introduction of workflows in Glide, having the ability to trigger push notifications based on table changes or scheduled events would be an invaluable addition, making Glide a more competitive and robust platform for task management and real-time collaboration.
I believe having a basic solution is always better than having none. If deep link notifications are problematic, a simple notification system would suffice for now. Similarly, if there are issues with iOS, enabling notifications for Android alone would still be valuable.
Simple Notifications: A basic alert informing users that something relevant has occurred and prompting them to check the app would be sufficient.
Android-Only Notifications: Research indicates that Android holds approximately 70% of the mobile market. By implementing this feature for Android users, you would still be providing value to the majority of mobile users.
Just to add on cause this is important - since Glide Apps are ‘fired up’ via a browser - can’t you use browser notifications instead of System notifications for iOS? Not as seamless but as a temporary solutions with Safari/Chrome. Add an extension for Glide until the real solution is solid.
Any news on this side? We really need them. A mobile App without any sort of push notifications is like a car without wheels. No sense to haven’t them!
