Urban Airship in LC

[John Allijn]

Hi Tom,

I'm building an application for students and teachers that will enable them to send "urgent" messages like "Teacher x is ill", "No lessons tomorrow" or "the grades are available on the website".
I would like to add push-notifications to this service. Urban Airship looks very promising but frankly, It's a little out of my league. Could you perhaps get me started with some tips on where to start reading and conceptually how to set things up?

The Urban Airship documentation is quite comprehensive and contains xcode samples, but I do not know how to translate that into a working livecode app. 
Do you have any suggestions on where to start?

best regards,
John Allijn
