while am trying to sign up to parse site, i cant able to find the option for sign up.
we have to implement parse push notification feature in xamarin mobile application development.
Please guide if any one have idea about registering to parse and the steps to work with push notifications too.
Unfortunately Parse (the service) is no longer available, its last day was Jan 30th 2017. Here's the first announce they made back in Jan 26 2016. They gave a whole year to every developer with hosting solution in Parse to be able to migrate it.
Parse became an open source project known as Parse-Server. You can use this but it will have to be as a self-hosted service.
If you don't feel like hosting Parse there are out there a few solutions that could get you running with for the Push Notifications. Just to name a few you have: Azure now known as Mobile Center, you have Firebase Cloud Messaging, Amazon SNS and a few others.

i'm working with xamarin forms and i would like to implement notifications in my app; but i can't see the push option on my appcenter. I don't see the option :
I went to the documentation; but it says in the option 3 In the project navigator that opens, select Push.. i'm confused! Thanks.
AppCenter is (unfortunately) retiring its push notification service. They recommend migrating to Azure Notification Hubs (which are slightly more complex, but also more powerful).
You can refer to this Announcing MBaaS Service Retirement on
February 3rd, 2020 by John Wargo from Principal Program Manager, Visual Studio App Center .That is an official announcement.
Earlier last year, we launched the App Center Auth and Data services in early preview. Together with App Center Push, the three services form the App Center Mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) offering, and give developers an easy entry into using Azure as a backend for mobile apps.
As a result, we are discontinuing efforts in the Auth, Data, and Push services and working to retire these preview services in App Center. With this change, we will focus App Center on delivering a world-class mobile and desktop DevOps experience. We will also work together with Azure teams to help migrate developers to the native Azure services, and ensure that Azure continues to be a great platform for your mobile apps.
What This Means to You
Your apps can continue to use these services for now; we want to give you ample time to consider, and implement other options for your apps before we retire the services.
May 3, 2020
After this date, the Auth and Data services will no longer be available in the App Center portal; the services may continue to operate for a short while after this date, but you will not be able to interact with either service using the App Center portal UI.
App Center Push Retirement Timeline
Microsoft is committed to providing the best notification offering possible and we think the best way to do this is to focus our efforts on a single offering in Azure Notification Hubs. We know many of you value the unique features unique to App Center Push and we want to offer similar capabilities in Azure Notification Hubs. With that in mind, we’re working to create a transition plan which causes the least disruption to our existing customers as they move to Azure Notification Hubs.
I have an app which uses Parse and I want to migrate it to Firebase. I was extended the parse installation objects to send customized push notifications. I'm wondering if I can migrate these parse installation objects to Firebase and use it from Firebase.
There is no cookie cutter click-though way to import an app that uses Parse.com into Firebase. The products are too different for that.
There are however migration guides for developers looking to migrate their iOS and Android apps on the Firebase site: https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/#migrating_from_parse
There is also a repo with parse-migration-tools from Firebase: https://github.com/firebase/parse-migration-tools
Finally have a look at this question, where experienced developers chimed in already: How to migrate data from Parse.com to Firebase
[Disclaimer: Former lead of Parse Push. Author of parse-migration-tools]
I'm a bit nervous that you're out of luck if you're referring to "installation Ids". Firebase supports iOS and Android. Android devices aren't going to be easy to port for a few reasons, though iOS can be done without too much work. Let's break it down by the push backend:
Most people who talk about "installation Ids" are talking about Parse's self-hosted push network (PPNS or Parse Push Notification Service). This is hosted at push.parse.com and will go away in January. There's nothing anyone can do to keep those devices connected. As an FYI you'll also realy want to update your apps to disable PPNS because it will likely drain your customers' battery when they have a background service repeatedly trying to connect to a URI that isn't going to exist anymore.
If you're using GCM directly, you're still out of luck actually. Parse uses a version of GCM that's too old to work with Firebase. I tried to help fix it, but we weren't able to upgrade to GCM v4 and keep the Parse design style. The new Firebase SDK makes it possible to fix the issue and keep the Parse design requirements, but I'm far too overextended to build this right now. If someone wants to grab a shovel, I'd be glad to explain the right design.
iOS will actually work. I intended to make this turnkey in parse-migration-tools but won't have time until the end of the year. Firebase Cloud Messaging has a batchImport API for importing iOS tokens. I also wrote support for batchImport in parse-migration-tools to help you import your devices (and other data) faster. If I were migrating Parse Push from iOS, I would personally write a migration and bulkImport function that used batchImport to create GCM tokens and subscribed Parse Channels as FCM topics (note the batchAdd method; it may help you more efficiently do your initial import).
This should do the trick:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/client#import_existing_user_apns_tokens
You can just importat all of the existing users device id's and FireBase will generate unique id's for them.
I have an application which is hosted on Amazon (AWS) server and an app admin on godaddy.in admin. I can send push notification using parse server API (https://api.parse.com/1/push') to app user.
My question is:
Is parse server push notification also going to stop by 28 Jan 2017?
Can I send particular user push notification using parse server?
Thanks
the answer to your questions are:
Yes push notifications will also not going to work since the push is done through the parse.com server which will not be available. so parse.com with all of its services will not be available.
Sure you can. The current limitation is that when you send push with parse-server you must use your master key so in order to do it you need to create a cloud code function and from there to write the code that handle the push notifications. I already gave an answer on how it can be done .. you can read the detailed answer in here
It seems like you are yet to migrate your app from parse to your own self hosted environment. More details available here
After you might have done that, visit the Push Wiki page on how you can configure your push notification. It's a fairly easy process.
As most developers know at this point, Parse is shutting down early 2017 but they have been pushing clients to migrate their services. I have a huge client who will be using Parse for Push Notifications in July and August and want to make sure that Parse will still be functioning 100%. I understand them wanting people to migrate, but they don't seem clear on whether their services will be interrupted.
They have been very clear about it :
Why are you using Parse when they are going to shut down & want you to adopt mongoDb? If you have an app there with mongo your app would work fine, but why not go with other options?
Refer : Parse Migration

Parse.com will be fully functional until the shutdown on January 28, 2017 although with weaker performance after April 28th.
According to members of the Parse team:
Hi there, I'm part of the team who is actively helping people migrate
their apps. The answer is that we don't know how this may affect push
notifications.
When we announced that the hosted Parse service will be shut down next
January, we also provided a migration guide where we have shared a
recommended set of guidelines for your migration:
Migrate your database by April 28th, 2016 Migrate your API traffic by
July 28th, 2016 We are committed to maintaining the Parse API up and
running until January of next year, but we highly recommend starting
your migration work as soon as possible. We are focusing our efforts
on people who are following our recommended instructions.

and
If you have migrated your database to your own MongoDB, you will be
fine, your apps will receive full priority. If you haven't migrated
your database, you app will keep working, but requests might take
longer or have a higher failure rate.

I'm using Parse.com SDK services for my Android app.
I've seen that Parse had released their Android SDK as an open source project on Github on this address.
My app is almost finished, and when I'm uploading it to the Play Store, I don't want to be controlled by Parse.com (I mean that I don't want to be blocked someday, or I don't know that), so I want to move my whole database to my own server that hosted on a secure company.
I've checked the open source project on Github and realized that all I need to use it on my own server is to generate an Application ID and a client key.
So I want to ask if someone knows how to generate an Application ID and a client key of Parse to use it on my own server, or that you maybe knows another way of moving it to my server? And one more question: Today I'm using also Facebook SDK with my app. If I will move my database to my own server, will I still be able to use Facebook SDK on my app?
Thanks!
I have write an article about how to migrate parse to a custom server.

There's a massive difference between Parse open-sourcing their SDKs compared to revealing their entire backend architecture and its configuration.
The open-sourced SDKs are essentially wrappers for Parse's REST API along with some convenience functions and logic for natively interpreting the JSON data Parse is transmitting.
At a high level, Parse uses MongoDB for its core database and is entirely hosted using AWS (Amazon Web Services). The entire architecture is highly complex and is not something you could just drag and drop onto your own software stack or hardware backend.
To help give you a better idea of how Parse achieves all of their services, here's an interesting presentation their Dev Ops team gave at an AWS convention. Suffice it to say, hosting the backend services for over 180,000 apps requires a complex infrastructure and that is the "secret sauce" so to speak for Parse and is why Facebook purchased them for over $85 million two years ago.
