I am working on an application which requires push notifications to be received by making use of Amazon SNS service as per client specifications.
So, i just need to retrieve the device token of the mobile device and send it to the server, everything else is taken care of on the server side with reference to Amazon SNS.
Im currently using Appcelerator cloud service(ACS) method registerForPushNotification and retrieving the device token and sending it across to the server.
My query is as follows - 1. Is there any alternative to retrieving the device token if not by making use of ACS. 2. If no alternatives, i would really appreciate any information on Pricing with reference to ACS. I would like to know, if i were to use registerForPushNotifications method only, would i need to purchase a plan with Appcelerator?
Thanks. Any thoughts are much appreciated.
