Yes, slow delivery when user is low on battery. No delivery at all if a user swipes an app away.

That’s is what I expect. If I kill your app for whatever reason I expect it to remain killed, not to override my decision.

If your protocol is so bad it can’t handle intermittent connection, well to hell with this protocol.

Oh. You know nothing too. A protocol can handle the intermittent connection. A user can't handle instant message not delivered instantly, and it has nothing to do with a protocol, only with Apple's restriction.

Oh, there ARE ways to deliver a meaningful message, but they require transmitting full unencrypted message text over APNS! (this also results in app developers being capable to snoop on this traffic too - while currently data is exchanged directly between a user server and his client, bypassing client developers).

Next time comment on something you have any clue about.
