Using the same push notification channel on windows 8.1 channel

Question

I have a windows 8.1 store app project, and in it when i user logs in i create a push notification channel like this:

var channelpush = await PushNotificationChannelManager.CreatePushNotificationChannelForApplicationAsync();

My app connects to a api in nodeJS, and after i create the PushNotificationChannel i send the channelpush.Uri to the api and it gets store in my user information.

then the api as a method to send push notifications with nodeJS, using push-notify

The problem is that, it when i connect with the same user on different devices the push channel created is different on each device.

is there a way to create a unique channel Uri depending on a user? or should i just store all channels created and send notifications too all of them (since they are all from the same user on different devices)

Answer 1

Push notification channels are deliberately per user, per app and per device.

There isn't a way to create a channel which is unique per user. You will, as you say, need to store all channels that are still valid if you have users on multiple devices.
