Device Token and Push Notification

Question

I am trying to implement Push Notifications into my app, but I have, what I believe, may be a dumb question. I have my Push Notifications working, but they work because I am putting the Device Token into my asp.net code on the server.

My question is, am I supposed to keep track of the device tokens my app obtains? In other words, when the app launches and I get the device token, do I need to send those up to my server and store them so that when I need to send a notification to all the users of my App i can go through the list of tokens and send the notification to each device token?

Thanks for any clarity you can bring, as you guessed this is my first attempt at Push Notifications.

Answer 1

You have to store the device tokens in a database. Then you send a notification addressed to each device token. You can create the system by yourself, but there are open source libraries that have done this already. Although it is for PHP, Easy APNS is an example.
