[SOLVED] What does MPNS response with status code 200 and notification status 'Dropped' mean?

What does MPNS response with status code 200 and notification status 'Dropped' mean?

For some push messages sent using MPNS I am getting a response with the following values:

statusCode = 200
notificationStatus = Dropped
deviceConnectionStatus = Connected
subscriptionStatus = Active

Looking at the only documentation I found it seems the meaning of this particular combination is not explained:

What I want to know is if I should treat this as an error and if so, should I retry later or just give up?

Solution

Even if we cannot find a specific documentation to check the particular combination you provide, we can still analyze it based on our common experience:

200 OK means your request has been received successfully
Dropped means the MPNS has not received your request normally
Connected refers to your device status when the request is sent
The last header returns if the channel is still valid(Active) or not(Expired)

Thus, I think you can retry later since your channel is still valid.
