I’ve got 2 apps with linked collections. One is a “dashboard for administrators” (=me) and the other is for the users. I want to be able to trigger notifications from my admin panel and that they show up to the users of the “user app”, not the “users of the admin panel” (=me).
Since the built-in notification feature doesn’t allow this I tried finding a workaround by creating a shared collection for “notifications”.
New problem: When I add a new collection to the admin app, it doesn’t show up in the “user app”. Do I have to use an external DB connection for this??
First, it is possible to send Push notifications to the other apps, which share the same DB. Please see the thread here: iOS Notifications - Getting Set Up
Second, if 2 apps share the same DB - then the new table in one app should be available in the 2nd app instantly.
So what you could check is:
if you had 2 app editors open, even with 2 different apps but which share the same DB - that could be the cause of the glitch (I’ve lost couple of hours of work once - the other window kind of “overwritten” all the DB changes).
you need to check if these apps really share the same DB
and if you’re sure that all is correct on your side, I would suggest submitting a support ticket here: Submit a Support Ticket
Just my 2 cents - I’m not sure this will help. As far as I know, there is no requirement to create DB collections only in the FIRST app.
I’ve just checked one of my projects, created the new collection in one of the later apps - it has immediately became available in all other apps.
I’ve just try created database in second app and I don’t see this database in first app. After that I try to created the database in first app and I saw this database in second app
Thanks for your answers.
I checked and strangely the collections do not seem connected anymore.
“Anymore”, because I’m 100% sure they were in the past… How is that possible? How can I reconnect them?
I don’t want to start over ^^
