Hi,

I'm building an app for a organisation that requires to send a notification every time the content of a website changes (the website updates). (There is a list of news that are displayed into a webkit view.)

I could do it with APNs, but I think it is too complicated for just a simple task like this. I tried with user notification, but I don't know how to store a small copy of the website and every day check if the copy and the website are the same. If they are not the same, a notification should be pushed.

Could anyone help?

Thank you, Alex Sofonea

APNS should be a good way to go.

But instead of storing the full website, you could store a "last updated" information (date and time, in minutes precision), both on web site and in the app.

It will be enough to compare to see if there was an update.
