In Spring 2025, three students from NTNU Gjøvik; Jakob Mats Emil Wirén, Aksel Matashev, and Bror Wetlesen Vedeld, carried out a bachelor’s project hosted by the Qt office in Oslo. Our goal was to investigate how native push notification services could be integrated into Qt applications in a cross-platform manner. The resulting experimental library has been named QtPushNotifications, and refers to the implementation that can be found here https://git.qt.io/nils.petter.skalerud/qtpushnotifications. Do note that, at the time of writing, there are no current plans to integrate this functionality into Qt as an official feature, this project was primarily done for research purposes.
