Worklight: How to handle Push subscription on a Shared device


I want to know what is the best approach to handle Push subscription for multiple users on a single/shared device?

In worklight, when another person is using the same device and subscribing for Push then it removes previous user subscription for the same device.

my App is a financial App and possibility is that family members may use the same device, that's why we have to take care of all scenarios

Any idea, or workaround?


Solution

  • That's a device/OS limitation...

    In iOS there is no multi-user support, so there is nothing one can do about it.
    In Android, starting v4.2, there is multi-user support and there should be no issues (it will work out-of-the-box).

    Edit: in native this is possible by creating your own user maintenance system. In Worklight, this is not doable at this time.
