So how can i integrate in iOS . With google cloud messaging .

Answer 1

If you go to the Google Cloud Messaging homepage , it reads:

Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a service that allows you to send data from your server to your users' Android-powered device , and also to receive messages from devices on the same connection.

Google Cloud Messaging is for sending push notifications to Android devices, not to iOS devices. In other words, you cannot do what you are trying to do.

Apple offers a similar service called Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). You can use APNS to send push notifications to iOS users.

In other words, you PHP server needs to integrate with GCM and APNS.
