Today I found out that #nextcloud Talk does not receive push notifications on Android when installed from F-Droid. But it does when the same app is installed from Google Play.
I knew about Google Cloud Messaging but i didnt know that only apps downloaded from Google Play were able/allowed to subscribe to Google's push service.
Is this correct @nextcloud ? And if so, shouldnt Talk users be told on the F-Droid download page that they wont know when they are being called?

in reply to Markus • • •Thanks, I see that. But still, it kind of defeats the point of a voice/video calling app when you cannot know when you are being called..
So it would be good if that could be explained on the Fdroid download page of NC Talk I think.
And make no mistake, I think it is awsum that Nextcloud is providing its apps on F-Droid as well.

"Features: [...] Mobile call & chat push notifications (only if installed from Google Play)"
Your feedback is helpful! We'll try to clarify this for future users.
