Hi,
Continuing the same thread for looking for reviewers and commenters :)
Its in! :)
I got QtCloudMessaging API code pushed in to the codereview!
I’m looking for comments and reviewers for it in order to proceed for final contribution and blog post to Qt technical blog.
You can find best info about usage from the main level README.ME file.
Repository is:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/qt/qtcloudmessaging <https://codereview.qt-project.org/qt/qtcloudmessaging>
About examples:
I moved examples into GitHub due those mobile examples include compiled ssl and crypto libs (for https communications) and therefore example file sizes coming too big for sanity bot:
https://github.com/snowgrains/qtcloudmessaging-examples <https://github.com/snowgrains/qtcloudmessaging-examples>
On examples:
Embedded is working nicely on all platforms provided by Kaltiot backend.
Firebase is working for Android, iOS and on desktop (stub functionality) on Mac.
Thank you for all help!
Br, Ari Salmi

> Also in addition developer can create the cloud messaging server elements also with this same API, so I've included REST API interfaces (QtNetwork) to firebase and to Kaltiot.com backends. Those needs (after Qt5.6) libssl and libcrypto libraries included in to the applications (included in the example).

> The closest match is the Qt Mobility's QMessaging service, which more or less concentrated to SMS, mms and email services inside a (nokia) phones taking care of the contacts etc. Unfortunately that API is not expandable to other platforms and cannot be used. One aim on this is to create Qt API that wraps (and developers can do more wrappers with same API) e.g. Google firebase, or onesignal type of push messaging services - for mobile and desktop apps.

One embedded backend solution that has scale able offering is Kaltiot.com. I've included it as one backend for embedded story.
