After a push attempt, you will see one new custom field entry for each configured Urban Airship application. It will say **push sent for** followed by the name you chose for your Urban Airship application. The value of the custom field will contain the response returned from Urban Airship. For a successful push, the response is usually “(null).” More features are coming like: 1. The ability to set your aps options (badge, sound, etc..) 2. The ability to choose which app to send a push to (or all). == Installation == 1. Download the plugin 2. Unzip and upload to your plugins directory 3. Configure via the settings page 3a. Set your Urban Airship application key and master secret as well as a safety password to avoid accidental pushes. 4. Push away. Simply add your push text, enter your password and click the update or publish button on your post. == Frequently Asked Questions == = How do I send a push to an Android Device? = When you add your app in the settings screen, make sure you choose "Android" for your Application Name.
