I mean yeah, but hosting and running a voyager server that stores our login credentials would be a more complicated and difficult option for what gain? The simplest solution would probably be just waking up the app every so often to check, I think eternity does that
Speaking for iOS, I don’t believe this is possible. iOS has rules around what background processes can and can’t run on-device.
For notifications coming from the internet, in order to preserve battery life, Apple wants cloud APNs to wake up terminated apps to deliver notifications.
I know android does some similar battery preservation stuff around notifications, but I’m a little less familiar with that.
