Is it allowed to send location datas via silent Push Notification?

Does Apple allow to send location datas via Push Notification ?

For Example if I have a tracker that send location datas on server. Then server send silent Push Notifications in order to use it on an iOS app. With a payload like:

{
   "aps" : {
       "content-available" : 1
   },
   "longitude" : 7.770526,
   "latitude" : 52.032184,
}

Is it conform to apple guideline ? Because it exposes possible sensitive datas.

Solution

  • You can send the data, but there is no guarantee when it arrives and when it is processed.

    The data isn't very exposed because it will be encrypted. But it would be better if your app asked the server for the data.
