Real-time data push from server to iOS device WITHOUT APNS [closed]

Question

I'm building an iOS app which needs real-time updates from the server, and I'd like to accomplish this without polling.

Does anyone know of technologies, tools, products or libraries which would facilitate this functionality?

Answer 1

Pusher (who I work for) has an Objective-C library and a REST API (along with a number of libraries) that would let you push realtime updates from your server into an iOS application.

I've also compiled a list of realtime technologies in which I'm sure you'll also find technologies that meet your requirements.
