Setting up push notifications for Windows

To set up push notifications for Windows devices, you must use the Windows Push Notification Services (WNS). In order to use WNS, you must have a valid Windows Store account.

1. Create a Windows Store account at Windows Dev Center Dashboard.
2. Register your app with Windows Dev Center Dashboard and obtain the following credentials for your app.
   • Name
   • Publisher
   • Package Security Identifier (SID)
   • Client Secret
3. You can set the certificates using any of the following methods:
   • Using the IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Operations Console. See Configuring push notification settings.
   • Using Push WNS Settings (PUT) API.
   • Using the REST API for the MobileFirst Server administration service.

   You can also associate your Windows project with the application in the Windows Store by right-clicking on the project and selecting Store > Associate App with the Store.
