    they can push a new TOS to the app store mandating that push nitifs be handled the same way signal handles them.

      Signal sends notifications via Apple’s push notification servers. So I’m still not quite clear what are suggesting. That apps run continuously in the background. each doing real-time polling of their respective servers for notifications? Because your battery ain’t going to last long.

        the way signal and some privacy friendly apps do it is they send a blank notif first to wake up the app and then send the notif directly to you

          That sounds like a cracking idea, the suggestion is that something in Apple’s ToS prevents this generally - but is that the case, if Signal manages it?
