As far as I can read, it is technically possible to initiate an Apple Push Notification from an iOS App instead of via a server/service.
It would require the push notification certificate to be bundled with the app, and device tokens for the receiving devices must be exchanged.
Offhand this seems like a usable solution for some notification scenarios, but are there other limitations? Would such a setup not be accepted in an App submitted to the app store? Would exchanging device tokens pose some sort of risk? It would save the cost of a notification service and it would distribute the processing to the clients instead of the server.
What am I missing?
