And in Apple's case an extremely restrictive package manger. Want to send encrypted notifications? Got to request the entitlements.

You can send encrypted notifications without any entitlement. I assume you are talking about sending notifications without displaying the notification to the user.

Sorry but I don't want random apps spaming me with junk. If they want to send me notifications, then yes they should request my (the user's) permission.

Oh I fully agree.

I meant the Hidden Notification Entitlement. By default iOS requires you to display a notification when you receive one.

But that conflicts with the idea of encrypting notifications. See here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38545984
