You need to use a combination of push/pull messaging. If you like to do a chat app then XMPP might be useful for this. But that only works when an app is active (foreground) on a phone. For push messaging you need to use a service that provides it. We have our own push message service running in order to do that. An alternative would be urban airship. > - receive messages from an app to control a Pharo image remotely > from a phone or communicate > I'm not sure what you mean by saying "receiving messages". You can have a pharo image installed on a server and a app could use a HTTP interface. Or did you have something special in mind? If time wouldn't be such a sparse resource we could provide a solution to this. We are building most of the pieces to handle device and image management, push services and authentication. If time permits we might build a service where apps and images register themselves and allow each of the entities contact the others available.
