Main drivers
Here are my main drivers for paying apple. You only can do these things if you are on a paid tier of Apple Developer track:
- Publishing Apps
- Access to Push Notifications Capability
- Access to NFC Capability
- Siri Capability
Unlike Google, which charges $25 once, Apple charges anually (and $99). However, once I paid and was reading some collateral materials from Apple, literally in few minutes i was enrolled and I received the needed capabilities in XCode (Push Notifications, including Background Remote mode).
Push Notifications
Once I’ve enabled the needed capabilities I ran the app and was able to get the registration token for my test device from APNs. Twenty minutes later, using sideshow/apns2, I was able to send notification from the server to my test device. What I’m trying to say is that the whole experience was more premium with Apple APNs rather than with Google FCM when it comes to Mobile Push Notifications. Also, delivery time for Apple Push notification is literally instant, which can not be said for Google FCM (can take 1-2 seconds for me)
NFC Capability
Coming soon?
Siri Capability
