Browser web push on iOS only works for home-screen web apps and most users never see it. As a native app built with WebViewGold, your ChatGPT & Codex app gets the real thing: system push notifications on iOS and Android, sent from your backend, from a dashboard, or scheduled by your own JavaScript.

Three ways to notify your users
Remote push (OneSignal, Pushwoosh or Firebase)
Send campaigns from a dashboard or trigger messages from Your own API or serverless functions via their REST API. Segment users, schedule sends, track opens. WebViewGold ships with the integrations; you paste your app IDs into Config.swift and Config.java (or the Cloud Builder).
Local push from JavaScript
Schedule a notification from your ChatGPT & Codex app with one URL call, for example a reminder in two hours or a cart recovery message. Fires even after the app was closed. Works without any push service.
Permission at the right moment
Trigger the system permission dialog from a link (registerpush://) when the user has a reason to say yes instead of on first launch, and read the permission state with checkNativePushPermissions:// (JavaScript variable nativePushEnabled).
Prompt for ChatGPT & Codex
Paste this into ChatGPT & Codex to implement the web-app side. Review the result, publish, then test inside the WebViewGold app.
Prompt for ChatGPT or Codex
Prompt for Codex: Implement native push notifications for the WebViewGold app wrapper and open a pull request. Add a notification settings page whose Enable notifications button navigates to registerpush:// only when navigator.userAgent contains my custom WebViewGold token, with a plain explanation in regular browsers. After login, read the global onesignalplayerid variable (trigger getonesignalplayerid:// once if it is undefined) and send it to a new register endpoint that stores it on the user record. Add a server-side sendPush function that calls the OneSignal REST API using ONESIGNAL_REST_API_KEY from the environment. Add a helper that schedules a local reminder via sendlocalpushmsg://push.send?s=SECONDS=msg!MESSAGE&!#TITLE&!#URL. Record these bridge rules in AGENTS.md.
Great work! Never coded anything but managed to work with this. Easy and fast! Also with great help from the creators!
Add an iOS app with your Apple push key (.p8 from the Apple Developer portal) and an Android app with your Firebase Cloud Messaging credentials. Both dashboards walk you through it.
Paste the IDs into WebViewGold
Enable the push option in Config.swift and Config.java (or the Cloud Builder form) and insert your OneSignal App ID. Decide whether to ask for permission at first launch or later via registerpush://.
Identify users from your ChatGPT & Codex app
WebViewGold exposes the push subscription ID to your web app as a JavaScript variable (onesignalplayerid after calling getonesignalplayerid://) or appends it to your URL as ?onesignal_push_id=…. Store it next to the user in Your own API or serverless functions so your backend can target individual users.
Send from your backend
Call the OneSignal REST API from Your own API or serverless functions whenever something happens: new message, order update, reminder. Or send campaigns manually from the dashboard.
Deep-link the notification
Attach a url field to each push; WebViewGold opens that page inside the app when the user taps the notification.
Local push: the JavaScript call
No push service needed. From your ChatGPT & Codex app, schedule a notification that fires even after the app is closed:
javascript
var title = "Your session starts soon";
var message = "Tap to open your dashboard.";
var seconds = 7200; // fire in two hours
var url = "https://yourapp.com/dashboard"; // opened when tapped
window.location.href = "sendlocalpushmsg://push.send?s=" + seconds + "=msg!" + message + "&!#" + title + "&!#" + url;
// cancel everything that is scheduled
// window.location.href = "sendlocalpushmsg://push.send.cancel";
What to tell ChatGPT & Codex
Add a notification settings screen with an "Enable notifications" button that navigates to registerpush:// only inside the app (WebViewGold identifies itself via a custom user agent you define in the config).
Read the push subscription ID that WebViewGold provides and save it on the user profile in Your own API or serverless functions.
Create a backend function that calls the OneSignal REST API with the user's subscription ID when an event happens.
Add a ?utm_source=push parameter to notification URLs so your analytics can attribute opens.
Frequently asked questions
Does web push from ChatGPT & Codex work inside the app?
Browser web push (service worker based) is not what the stores and users expect from an app. WebViewGold uses native APNs and FCM notifications, which show up in the system notification center, support badges and sounds, and work on every iPhone.
Is OneSignal free?
OneSignal has a free tier that covers most new apps; Pushwoosh offers WebViewGold customers two free months. Local push notifications are free and need no service at all.
Do push notifications help with App Store review?
Yes. Guideline 4.2 asks for functionality beyond a website; native push notifications are a concrete, user-facing native feature.
Can I send a push to one specific user?
Yes. Map the subscription ID WebViewGold exposes to the user record in Your own API or serverless functions and target that ID through the OneSignal API.
