When I get the simulator message, I go to the simulator, make sure there isn't an instance of the app already running, and if there is, exit it, then go back, and fire it off, again, from LC. I suspect we have a communication problem between LC and the simulator. On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 9:30 PM,

Try it. That's my observation. So, what I do, instead, is instead of sending the payload (which has to be short, anyhow), is have the app recognize that it's gotten a push notification, then hit my server to find out why. The message you send is for the user, anyway. The payload has to be small
