Hi,
We are trying to implement Subscriptions from iOS app.
How can we achieve this via
Which channel type (rest-hook / websocket /email-sms: / message) we need to use.
Can you share any examples.
Thank you in Advance.

Subscriptions tend to be set up by other servers - because you need something that can "listen" for the subscription events. Of the choices, you might be best off with messages and have a polling infrastructure that allows the iOS app to retrieve messages at semi-regular intervals when the app is running

@Karimulla are you looking at using APNS?

@Andy Stechishin Can we implement Subscription without using APNS in iOS application?
Andy Stechishin (Apr 19 2018 at 17:04):
I would think APNS would be necessary to have a good UX. But there is nothing in FHIR that talks about using it and I haven't seen a FHIR server that did it (though one may exist somewhere). I have toyed with implementing something for both a backend and app that included APNS and was using FHIR but I haven't gotten very far with it.
