SIP Client app - Push notification unavailable

Hi,

Other than PushKit, the only voip API option available is the Local Push Connectivity Extension.

That API uses an App Extension to maintain a network connection to your call server, allowing you to replicate the same general behavior as PushKit on isolated network. Note that it will only function on specific Wifi networks your app configures, not Wifi in general. This approach also handles #2 in the same way PushKit does.

One other note on t this statement:

"...where the connection is through SIP Server."

From past experience, many developers start voip app design with the assumption that the SIP server's implementation cannot be modified, so the client will have to adapt to it's design. In my experience, that simply doesn't work. Like most background categories, the "voip" category defines exactly how apps are expected to behave and your app will need to fit within those requirements. That may very well mean that you can't make a voip apps that works with your current server, in which case you may very well need to change your servers implementation.
