@rjbs @mimestream Yeah, it’s Gmail API specific. The client tells the API to deliver opaque events to a Google PubSub topic, and our relay service pulls those and forwards them to APNS. The APNS side was tricky tho.
On macOS, we just do IMAP directly from the device, since that’s easier. Gmail’s IDLE is kinda sluggish though.

@neiljhaveri @rjbs @mimestream - Is there a specific oauth scope you request to support this? I’m just curious since I can imagine it might catch the eye of some google apps admins as being “atypical”. If so, a blog post outlining the security/privacy benefits might help alleviate any concerns for asking for scopes they might not tend to see requested.
