When device polling occurs in the link below, is there a way to determine from the requests received on the server side whether the request was device polling?
Or can I add a specific parameter when the MDM server instructs the APNs so that the device sends the request to the MDM server with that parameter included?
If this is possible, we think we can determine if the request is a polling request.
Polling after a NotNow response contacts the server URL again, and doesn't distinguish the request as polling.
A typical MDM server implementation keeps a list of queued commands for each device and sends those commands when the device requests commands. If the command is successful it is removed from the queue, and then the server moves on to the next command. Commands which receive a NotNow response remain queued. This mechanism works the same whether the request came in response to an MDM push or polling after a NotNow response. With this typical design, it's not necessary for the MDM server to know what triggered a request for commands
