Paypal App

[phreebsd]

The paypal app was recently updated to give push notifications for various events like receiving money.

I noticed in the description that push notifications will NOT work on a JB'd phone.
Anyone else see that? Comments?

I bet their reasoning is security regarding your finances.

Hmm, where exactly did you read that? I am very curious to know if they implemented some type of JB detector (Highly doubt it).

The Description I found does't say anything:

What's new in version 3.0
• Receive notifications instantly on your iPhone for account activity updates, including sending or receiving money, making a purchase, or requesting money
• Control the length of time you remain logged into the application
• With our new help center, you’re just a tap away from FAQ’s and customer service contact info
• Don’t have a PayPal account? Signup is fast and easy, right from the app
• Use the PayPal local feature to find businesses nearby that accept PayPal and Bling tags

I saw that too when I updated the app. It reminded me of when the skype app used to say it would not work on jailbroken phones (but it did).

My iPhone 4 is so jailbroken, and I get push notifications.

yeah I noticed that too but push notifications seem to be working.

Huh, probably trying to discourage jailbreaking to minimize any risk of having personal information shared unwillingly? I personally don't see much of a risk though.

im glad it works. im also glad others saw the message about not working on a jailbroken phone as it seems now that the line is omitted (at least when viewing thru itunes link in a browser). I updated direectly on the phone via the app store app. i saw it in the descripton there.

I just wondered what business is it of theirs really whether or not our handset is jail broken.
