Worklight: two users Same device Push subscription

I have a scenario presented by business team that: one person has device and he subscribed for Push Notification, later on his wife use the same device and subscribe for Push on her account.

Now in this case:

  1. will Push go two times to the same device?
  2. Or, the previous device subscription will be overridden

Plus, my App saves all Push notification messages on user's devices (as transaction history) , shouldn't be the problem!

To handle this scenario, what could be the possible options?

I am using Worklight Consumer 5.0.5

Thanks

Solution

  • Once you subscribe with different user on a same device the old subscription will be deleted. This is done for security reasons, e.g. in case you sell/loose/give your device new user should not get notifications of old one.
