We have a SSL set up on one server, and we have several apps we are about to put push notifications in. Can I use the same server for each of these apps?
There currently is not a problem, just trying to investigate as we enter into this. I have searched these and other forums without any luck so far to others discussing it. Any links to documentations for this would be greatly appreciated.

It depends upon the server, the client and the apps, but the short answer is: Yes you can.

It should be as simple as possible for the testers. Best case would be a link that they can click on that directly installs the app on iOS and Android devices (maybe through another app similar to testflight). As we're using Firebase in our application I looked at Firebase App distribution but it seems that it doesn't work with the managed workflow of Expo. We would need to eject our app to (possibly) make it work. As we have only a limited amount of time until the test I would like to avoid a lenghty evaluation process like the one testflight requires.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
Apps using Managed Workflow can be shared via Expo Go: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/sharing-preview-releases/
After some research I came across diawi.com which seems to offer what I'm searching for. It's really easy for the testers, they just have to scan a qr code or click on a link and the app actually appears as a standalone application.
First off, my apologies regarding the nature of this question as I am new to the game and trying to help a friend and realized I can't even help myself with this one.
I am having issues creating push notifications and can only use ASP.NET core 2 web server. The issue is sending them from the server, I cannot get that done at all.
Is there anybody who can help me, perhaps send the package or code and if so, if the packages could be live as the ones I have found haven't been committed in over 3 years now.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance guys.
There are serveral open source NuGet packages available, all with pros and cons. Read the API and sample code before you go with one:
PushSharp is one of the big players, unfortunately it seems no longer maintained. It does not support Apple’s «new» HTTP API and Google’s HTTP V1 API.
dotApns: Perfect support but only nor Apple Push.
Firebase Admin SDK: Far too large, only supports FCM (Android and iOS) but no native/direct iOS support. I didnt like the idea of relaying iOS push messages trough FCM.
So, I went the long way to create my own NuGet package which supports native Android/FCM and Apple/APNS push notifications:
.NET standard library: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PushNotifications.Server
ASP.NET integration: https://www.nuget.org/packages/PushNotifications.Server.AspNetCore
Is there a way for a Metoer mobile app to keep persistent data offline and between restarts? I've tried to find some info but can't find much about this. How would data then be resolved (be put back on the server, perhaps with conflicts).
Interesting question! If found a link to a post that poses a solution using grounddb. Using the grounddb package supposidly also works accross app reloads. See the article here: http://rafaelquintanilha.com/offline-app-with-meteor-and-cordova/
So, this does not necessarily have to do directly with the code itself, although it is certainly a component of it.
I recently downloaded and installed the PayFlow Pro SDK for use with ASP.net
link here:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_download_sdks
I installed this to my development machine. I also came accross this example code which I figured outlined the primary setup for basic Paypal Credit Card Transaction functionality.
link here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/PayPal_PayflowPro.aspx
Anyways, I have two main questions
Do I have to install the SDK on the web hosts server in order to utilize the functionality of it? This seems to make sense, however, the tutorial in the second link suggests I create a web reference. Unless I am not understanding something here, wouldn't this just strictly work on my development machine, or at least, the functionality of the remote website that references this web reference to access the sdk, would this not be dependent on my computer running and broadcasting this information?
I just need clarification on how to install and/or access the sdk for use on a remote webhosts server (ie. do i need to install the sdk on the web-hosts server and if so, how would one go about doing so (ie. where to install, how to install)?).
Are there any other clean cut examples like my second link provides, that sort of outline the basic functionality of Payflow Pro? I find paypal's examples numerous and convoluted and their online slides/video tutorials to be tedious.
Perhaps I should just get off my lazy ass, but I have found peers from the general community to be much more informative in a way more efficient manner, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
For anyone interested, after enough searching I found a great example that notified me of all the fundamental processes to creating a basic transaction and allowed me the knowledge to further manipulate the sdk.

Do you know if it's possible to build an application for the LinkedIn platform?
Yes, they have API at http://developer.linkedin.com/index.jspa, allowing access to the profile, connections, messaging and more.
While LinkedIn has promised a public API for a very long time now, they have yet to deliver.
No, there is no public LinkedIn API yet.
IMO, their widgets (which there are only two of at the moment, which are very limited) don't count.
They say that they are open to being contacted with specific uses for their API and they may give access to parts as needed - but that is if they accept your ideas for integration. They have been very picky with this - and have not accepted my attempts to integrate with LinkedIn yet, they tell me I have to wait with everyone else, apparently my applications are not "high-profile" enough.
Sure, you'll find many Google results talking about their "promised" API, but they are empty promises and won't be of much help.
Yes, Linkedin has an API:
http://www.programmableweb.com/api/linkedin
http://blog.linkedin.com/blog/2007/12/the-intelligent.html
So you could build an application that uses it.
Update: (from second link)
We’ll be phasing all of this in over the coming months and to get involved with the Intelligent Application Platform either for APIs, widgets, or hosted applications, send us an e-mail to developers#linkedin.com telling us what you want to build and what you need to build it.
Since there are published Mashups using LinkedIn I would assume that means you can use the API even if the documentation isn't readily available.
As a tip, in the future include links to what you found that didn't work, so we know not to give it to you again.
I poked around a bit more and I found some more on their widgets which appears to be the main focus of their API.
