Forgive me if you think its an obvious one, but I didn't find any relevant(non-obsolete) material on the same.
So, I have a chrome extension out there (Zoho Mail Tracker) which as the name suggests is an email tracker for the Zoho mail client.
It relies on the GCM notifications for giving information to the user. My question is what should I use as GCM won't work on Firefox.
I tried reading a lot and seems like most of the stuff is either obsolete or deprecated. Should I resort to long polling(seems really a bad idea), or websockets?
Or should I simply wait until its properly implemented in Firefox?

Recently, Telegram released a new feature - Custom Emojis. They instantly became available to users, but there are no instructions on how to send them using a Telegram bot. Is it even possible within the API? And specifically on Telegraf?
This update describes methods that may be useful to you. I haven't tested them myself yet, but I think this is what is needed. I will write about the results as soon as I test it myself.
I think I know the answer to this question from my experiments, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer when doing research.
Is is possible to send notifications to a PWA when it is opened in Chrome on mobile, but isn't installed?
Once it is installed I can receive notifications, but I can't before.
I'm having a hard time getting remote debugging working for my mobile so it's difficult to tell if the push event is even firing.
The docs, don't specify the need to install the pwa to be able to use the notification feature. However what I suspect is happening in your case is that Chrome is not giving priority to notify to the notification that you are sending without installing. What I mean is that you might receive your notification on the regular wakeup cycle of Chrome, and not as a background task. (But this is just a speculation)
Another common scenario that happens a lot, trust me :-), is that you forgot to give permission to send notifications in the first place.
Regarding remote debugging, refer the docs, to get it setup on Android. As a lot of the online tutorials are a bit out of date.
Note: I found an article online that shows a notification received without installing on Android, here is its link, it might not be very helpful for your case but check it out you might figure something out.
Yes they can.
The problem was that I had notifications enabled for my site, but disabled for Chrome itself.
I'm using Application insights for outside-in testing, but my code is not instrumented with it. I don't want to receive the weekly email summary about my service, since most columns are blank.
How can I disable the email being sent? (Note I do not want to just unsubscribe myself from it)
It appears this is not available yet, though someone has proposed it on the Application Insights uservoice site, and AI folks have commented on it:
https://feedback.azure.com/forums/357324-application-insights/suggestions/14444583-ability-to-disable-weekly-digest
I'd suggest upvoting that if you need it.
While not what you want, it looks like the only option at this time is to unsubscribe.
As of 6/18/2018, application insights is no longer sending digest emails at all.
see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/application-insights/automate-custom-reports for details, the suggestion is to use other tools, like Logic Apps or Flows to query and generate your own content.
Does anyone know of an AIR Native Extension (ANE) that allows you to access the device's notification sound(s)? OR, a method to query if the device is in "silent" or "vibrate" mode?
I've set up Push Notifications, but no sound plays on my (Android) device.
I know I can play my own sounds, but I want to use the native notification sound (the same as an SMS or email alert sound) and I don't want the sound to play if it shouldn't (viz. silent mode / vibrate mode).
I've been looking for hours and there's a "Vibrate ANE," and others looking for the same type of capability, but I haven't found anything usable for native sound notifications.
I believe that iOS automatically will play a notification sound when it receives a push notification (I think), but Android just flashes the "shade title" & shows the app's icon for the notification.
Maybe someone else has stumbled across a solution??? =)
Many Thanks!
Todd =D
I think you might have to be careful attempt to access the built in sounds on iOS.
We definitely could write an extension that played any of the system sounds. However I believe these sounds are copyrighted, and my understanding of the Apple ToS is that your application may get rejected from the AppStore if you use them directly.
This is why things like a notifications extension only use a "default notification" value to access system sounds that are set by the user. These sounds are played on certain system events.
The sounds are all accessed via undocumented IDs: http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.php/AudioServices
So yeah we’ve been very cautious of writing anything that could put developers in trouble with the AppStore. You have enough problems getting apps through as is. But if you read otherwise let me know.
I am building application that needs to interact with users without accounts and keep track of them. I know OpenID is great and easy and I've used it in almost all my apps, but accounts are not option even those that user is likely to have like Facebook, Google, Yahoo account, etc.
Any coding language is acceptable (but asp.net, JavaScript or Flash would be best, or a combination).
So my plan is to use cookies...but cookies are so easily removed (I really don't count it as reliable identifier)
IP address...well this is efficient even trough proxies, but if someone uses dynamic IP like my whole country this also becomes unreliable
Flash cookies are fine, but I recently read an article describing Mozilla Firefox History-cleaning system gets rid of them too, I need confirmation for this.
Browser Fingerprinting - I don't know how reliable it is since anyone that knows little of any language that can send HTTP requests can spoof it (client string at least).
If anyone knows of any other methods from the ones I listed, or want to correct me in my list feel free to reply.
