I installed MM Omnibus. I want to enable push notifications.  
However, I understand there are only these options:

- TPNS: Not recommended in production as per [Mobile push notifications — Mattermost documentation](https://docs.mattermost.com/deploy/mobile-hpns.html) \> Test Push Notifications Service. Also, it doesn’t work anyway: even if enable, the mobile app still says “notifications cannot be received from this server, […] contact your system admin for more information”
- HPNS: only for hosted solutions
- MPNS: only for custom apps as per [Push notification service](https://developers.mattermost.com/contribute/more-info/mobile/push-notifications/service/)

So… it is literally impossible to send Push Notifications unless I also build my custom app and get both Apple and Google developer status?!  
This is a little … disappointing.

I am sure I miss something?

TPNS works fine for me, the problem is likely somewhere else (maybe server config like reverse proxy, firewall, etc.).

There are some troubleshooting steps [here](https://docs.mattermost.com/deploy/mobile-troubleshoot-notifications.html) that you could try.
