Are you using RMS v3.5 or older? As of RMS v4.0, blackberry is no longer supported.

I am using v3.5

[Burgess Lars-KDWC48]

Strange, maybe your .NET code that sends a push message to RIM server is not working.  For reference, here's how RhoConnect did it up until v3.4: https://gist.github.com/larsburgess/bdd6288598acf0f103dc

I have registered my application with blackberry push service. Using app id and password in .net application. I have checked with native blackberry application with .net service. Its working fine. But am not getting why its not working with rhomobile application.

[Burgess Lars-KDWC48]

Are you handling the registration info coming in from the device?  Short of that I'm not sure what it could be.  It works fine when RhoConnect is the server (v3.4.x), using the code you see below.

Can you please tell me how to handle registration in client application?

[Burgess Lars-KDWC48]

It's not your client app that handles registration, it's your server.  Your server needs to receive registration info from the client so it knows how to route push messages.  RhoConnect just exposes a rest end point that receives an HTTP POST from the client.  You could do the same in the .NET app.

Above is my .Net code for sending push message

Is this using the blackberry BIS push service?  Please remember that rhodes only supported BES PAP push (via BES instance).  Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the cloud push service is BIS push.  You might need to change your code if that's the case.

Yes this use blackberry BIS push service. How can we differentiate BIS from BES? Thanks 

[Burgess Lars-KDWC48]

I was going off the fact that you're using the cloud service as opposed to your own running BES server.  If you are using BIS then it will not work with rhodes.

OK. Thanks for your great support. I will rewrite my .net service. I am new to this blackberry push notification not getting what to do.

That's a good question,  I'm afraid I won't be able to help much here as I haven't personally used the BIS push service.  

I would assume that their sample code for client-side registration would be a good starting point for the task of porting over to ruby (looks like you may already be doing that to some degree).  But the specifics and whether or not it will work for you are really pretty involved implementation details in your app.  If you have a specific bug to report on the framework with isolated repro steps then we can help.
