But am not able to run Client side sample application.Its LOG was showing following error when I was trying to register for the service after prerequisite setting.

Content Provider network command[Subscribe] failed, caused by could not find a service book
entry for IPPP command register failed with error:java.io.IOException: Network Opertation[Subscribe] failed. Make sure that Content Provider  URL is accessible

Can we test Push enabled application on simulator,If yes, is there any specific setting required for the same?

Answer 1

testing of BIS is not allowed on simulator,for testing Push services through BIS one need real device only.

Since the Push server needs a PIN number, and that all simulator got the same PIN , so I needed a real device and an Dataplan to test it.

The reason behind is,they can't reach a Simulator because simulators are not on any known Carrier.
