Abstract
In this chapter we would like to share our experiences with implementing push notification for the eBuddy iPhone application. While being relatively late to market with our iPhone application, we were the first free Instant Messaging application to have push notifications. To get there, we had to overcome a number of hurdles yet we have learned a lot in the process. Since supporting push notification requires an application to have a server side component, we would like to tell our story from the client development and server development perspectives. We were both part of the core development team that created the eBuddy iPhone application and we also currently continue to work on extending and improving its functionality.
