At Microsoft Build this week (May 6th) the App Center Team announced new features that allow you to use App Center to manage your Authentication and Data. As well a more complete Push Notification story if your App outgrows the capabilities of App Center. AppCenter is trying to be your 1 stop for everything Mobile and with the addition of these new features they are doing a great job!

AppCenter Push Notifications is an exciting new technology for handling Push Notifications in any mobile app. I use AppCenter quite a bit with my Xamarin projects so using AppCenter was a natural choice.

This is Part 2 in a 3 part blog series discussing AppCenter Push Notifications

Recently I was working on a Xamarin.Forms app that required push notifications for both iOS and Android. I started implementing Azure Notification Hub and was recommended by my friend James Montemagno that App Center supports push notifications. James quickly produced an amazing blog post that documents push notification and your options in Xamarin.
