Yes, that sounds similar to what i do.
- i created a custom auth user table, it happens to be called end_user
(though it can be called auth_user):
auth.settings.table_user_name = 'end_user'
auth.settings.table_user = db.end_user.table
auth.define_tables()
- My end_user table has some fun fields, the one you are interested in is:
Field('apns_tokens', 'list:string')
- Oauth happens with the client
- client then does a POST to our api (/api/v7/user) with the APNS token as
the payload
- if i don't already have the APNS token i add it to the list and register
it with my APNS service (you may use a 3rd party service such as
UrbanAirship or Parse, or build your own)
- note that i keep a list of tokens because my users have multiple devices
and so multiple tokens.
- we are starting our android port now....so i don't have an opinion about
that yet.
does that help?
