The new push notification introduced at WWDC 2024 is the broadcast push notification. This feature allows developers to send updates for live activities to a large audience with a single push notification. This is particularly useful for scenarios where many people are following the same event, such as a sports game or flight updates.
Here are the key points about broadcast push notifications:
- Efficiency: Instead of sending individual push notifications to each user, a single broadcast push notification can be sent, and APNs will deliver it to all subscribed devices.
- Channels: Each event that needs updates is associated with a unique channel. Devices subscribe to this channel to receive updates.
- Implementation: Developers need to enable the broadcast capability in the developer portal and create channels using the Push Notifications Console.
For more details, you can refer to the session Broadcast updates to your Live Activities.
