Feature Request: Native Push Notifications Support

Hi base44 Team,

TL;DR: Need to send mobile push notifications, but I'm blocked because the platform prevents me from registering the required Service Worker. Static files (/sw.js) are not permitted, and dynamic (blob:) Service Workers are blocked by mobile OS security policies.

The Problem: My app's core functionality relies on sending reminders to users when the app is closed. This is standard for modern web apps but is currently impossible on base44 due to the following technical limitations:

  1. Service Worker Failure: Cannot register a Service Worker, which is essential for receiving push messages in the background.

    • Static file paths like /sw.js are not allowed.

    • Dynamic registration via blob: URLs is blocked on mobile with a protocol not supported error.

  2. Missing Infrastructure: There's no backend integration to manage push subscriptions (device tokens) or handle VAPID key authentication.

The Request: Please add a native push notification feature to the platform. An ideal solution would be a simple integration (SendPushNotification) that automatically handles the complex Service Worker registration and subscription management in the background.

This is a critical feature for building engaging, modern applications. Any information on your roadmap for this would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you.
