We built the MobilePush SDK with mobile messaging best practices in mind.

  • Automatically acknowledges device offline mode, queues calls, and retries sending registrations and analytics after reestablishing a connection
  • Built-in logarithmic backoff logic to avoid further throttling of device calls to the server during peak load
  • Resourcefully bundles registrations and handles throttling logic to avoid DDOS situations
  • Built-in hashing logic to retry registrations in case Apple or Google change or update the device token
  • Intelligent, patented monitoring of operating system-level geofence availability and battery consumption
  • Automated logic and background controls to handle standard push notifications, silent push notifications, inbox refreshes, and patented behavioral in-app message engagement
