GitHub Spark + push notifications
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 GitHub Spark 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.
From $109 one-time per platform, or let our team do it all from $698.
Send campaigns from a dashboard or trigger messages from Spark key-value storage on legacy sparks, or your own database and AI provider after export 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).
Schedule a notification from your GitHub Spark 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.
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).
Paste this into GitHub Spark to implement the web-app side. Review the result, publish, then test inside the WebViewGold app.
This repository is an exported GitHub Spark app that now runs on my own hosting. Add push features for the WebViewGold native app wrapper. Create a Notifications settings view with an Enable notifications button that navigates to registerpush:// only when navigator.userAgent contains my custom WebViewGold token; in a normal browser show the text Notifications are available in the app. After login, read the global onesignalplayerid variable (set window.location.href to getonesignalplayerid:// once if it is undefined) and POST it to a register route that stores player_id, user_id and platform in our database, not in useKV. Add a serverless function send-push that calls the OneSignal REST API with ONESIGNAL_REST_API_KEY from the environment. Add a Remind me button that schedules a local notification by navigating to sendlocalpushmsg://push.send?s=SECONDS=msg!MESSAGE&!#TITLE&!#URL with the chosen delay, and a Cancel all reminders button that navigates to sendlocalpushmsg://push.send.cancel.
I am very happy I bought this app! Extremely easy and great documentation. Was in contact with the customer service, they replied very quickly and very friendly. They solved my question within a day. 10/10 would recommend.
About 20 minutes for both platforms.
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.
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://.
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 Spark key-value storage on legacy sparks, or your own database and AI provider after export so your backend can target individual users.
Call the OneSignal REST API from Spark key-value storage on legacy sparks, or your own database and AI provider after export whenever something happens: new message, order update, reminder. Or send campaigns manually from the dashboard.
Attach a url field to each push; WebViewGold opens that page inside the app when the user taps the notification.
No push service needed. From your GitHub Spark app, schedule a notification that fires even after the app is closed:
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";registerpush:// only inside the app (WebViewGold identifies itself via a custom user agent you define in the config).?utm_source=push parameter to notification URLs so your analytics can attribute opens.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.
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.
Yes. Guideline 4.2 asks for functionality beyond a website; native push notifications are a concrete, user-facing native feature.
Yes. Map the subscription ID WebViewGold exposes to the user record in Spark key-value storage on legacy sparks, or your own database and AI provider after export and target that ID through the OneSignal API.
