iNotify For Mac

iNotify is a simple to use and open source Obj-C library that allows developers to "push" notifications to users of iPhone and/or Mac App Store apps that pop up when the app is launched.

iNotify is very similar to Apple's push notifications, but more lightweight and only displayed at app launch time. Perfect for cross-promoting apps or pointing out non-obvious features.

Unlike Apple's built-in push notifications API, these do not appear when the app isn't running (technically, they are pulled by the app rather than pushed), but they require very little in terms of server-side infrastructure or configuration - you simply place a file on some hosted web space somewhere and update it when needed.

The notifications consist of a title, message and optionally a button that sends the user to a URL that can be specified on a per-message basis.

These notifications are ideal for cross-promoting your apps, or telling users about features that they may have missed.

The notifications can also be used to notify users about new releases, but for this  you would be better off using our iVersion library, which was specifically designed for the purpose and provides a more automated approach. iVersion and iNotify can be used in the same project without interference.

Detailed installation and usage instructions for the iNotify Objective-C library are available in the included README file.
