The official announcement was mentioned in Matrix's blog post:

Next release 0.4.2 should also be published on F-Droid with push support using UnifiedPush.

In other news, thanks to Joshua, NeoChat now supports push notifications based on UnifiedPush.

Interestingly, the Element X issue regarding implementing UnifiedPush, has not been updated, and there is no related merge request that I can find. NeoChat appears to have their changes buried in merge requests.

What is UnifiedPush?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think it's sending push notifications not using google play

Technologically, there's a little more to it than only that, but, in practice, that's essentially what it does.

What service does it use? Or is it just a standard for using your own?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

UnifiedPush, itself, is just the standard; services like Ntfy then implement it.

Had to look it up too, looks like a way to choose your own push service:

I've used UP for months with regular element and other apps. Works perfectly fine via ntfy. Excited to see more apps using it.

Too bad neochat has been crashing on startup for months 😅

Sorry, but I'm using Lineage OS without Gapps and everything goes good, any notifications works in Element .... 🤔
