we are currently writing an Cross-Plattform Application for Android, iOS and Desktop / Windows with Flutter.
Our Application relies on Push Notifications to trigger actions in our application, which works perfectly fine on Android and iOS. On Windows we ship our application with an InnoSetup-Installer as an .exe. Is it possible to use the Microsoft Service (WNS) for sending Push Notifications to our application? Or is this only possible for Windows Store Applications?
Thank you and best regards

There seems to be a plugin https://pub.dev/packages/quick_notify for that. The repo seems to be archived, though. So not sure about it. It does support Windows notifications.

I have developed a Flutter Mobile application on Windows 10 environment. I am using Firebase with services like Firestore, push notifications, storage and Authentication.
I have not done anything for IOS so far. I am planning to have a Mac machine in cloud and start the IOS related changes there. I have below questions.
I want to have my code at both the places synced so that I can work on windows and Mac. Is there any way to do that securely?
What editor I should use on Mac for IOS and Android development?
Also what are the other things I need to take care?
Thank you in Advance
for syncing:
git, period! Flutter will take care of the rest
for IDE:
we swear by Intellij as you will need it if you decide to port an android version of your app. With Intellij you can even sync plugins & IDE settings across multiple PCs
I am writing an app that needs to keep a local database in sync with a remote one, using web requests.
I would like the app to be available on all phone platforms - Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
It looks to me as if JobScheduler is probably the most efficient way to implement this in Android - you can get it to call your code only when the network is available.
Is there any equivalent in iOS? What about Windows Phone?
I want to be able to scan a document with my universal windows app.The problem is that The Windows.Devices.Scanners APIs are part of the desktop device family.
Is there any way to check if the app is running on a desktop, and use these API's in that case?
Any other solutions or ideas would be welcome
I'm developing an app for tablet picture capturing. I want to use the windows store app.
I don't want to publish it. Can I develop it without publishing it to the store?
Any other ideas for app dev?
Thanks
Yes you can develop a Windows Store app with publishing it but you will be the only one who can use it. If you want someone else to run your app they would have to use your code in VS on their machine to run it.
The structure of PUSH Notification for Windows Store 8 App differs from Windows Phone 8 app (in terms of Registration, Authentication, etc,.) at least that's what I gather from the two below links.
Windows Store.
Windows Phone 8.
I decided to run the sample from this link. I downloaded it, ran it and waited for URI to return, but nothing happens. No response at all. I am using Visual Studio 2012.
What is the mistake that I am making here?
Why is there a different approach for Windows Store 8 application and Windows Phone 8 PUSH notification service?
I'm not sure what your were asking in question #1.
Overall Win8 and WP8 push notifications are different because they end up supporting different UX on the operating system itself. Win8 and WP8 need different data to power their tiles, toast notifications and raw channels. As a result of that you'll need different message formats to power each platform. And as a result of that the services were separated for MPNS (Microsoft Push Notifications Service) on WP8 and WPNS (Windows Push Notifications Services) on Win8.
