iOS Local Push Connectivity for Calls

Webex App is not notified of incoming VoIP call notifications when an iOS device operates in a Wi-Fi constrained network with no internet connection such as, hospitals, cruise ships, airplane, and so on. Due to lack of internet connectivity, the device does not have access to the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). Users expect to receive calls without any delay. However, with APNS a call can be delayed for a few seconds when there is a network latency.

With this release, Local Push Notification Service (LPNS) for calls has been introduced on Apple devices. It helps to minimize any delay as the push message is sent to the client through a persistent connection.
