Hello,

In the architecture of Local push connectivity, how can I implement the Provider Server in my local network. Currently I want to implement local push connectivity functionality for a new app that is being developed. Basically what I require is to obtain information from a Database and distribute it to the application through Local push Connectivity through the Local Provider Server, only that I am not clear about the implementation of Provider Server in the local network Would it be a Windows, Mac or Linux type server? Where can I find documentation to perform the configuration?

Here is a list of local servers that can be used during development and potentially production: https://github.com/uniqush (open source) https://onesignal.com/pricing (paid w/free option)

There is always firebase.

Push notifications doesn't work by sprinkling magic dust, you have other options:

Xcode 13 command line tools where you can send a notification payload directly to the sim (simulator delivery only)
PushNotifications, a desktop app to send to real devices during development https://github.com/onmyway133/PushNotifications
Build your own APNS message delivery server between that endpoint & apple's production and sandbox environment If you don't care about when you're suppose to get to market (major dependency)

When you're ready to go into production you will have to host an actual delivery server on site or in the cloud so as the proverb goes, pick your poison.
