Hi everyone,

I don't think the server side is an issue here: Push notifications
work on the desktop (try https://web.skype.com in your Web browser,
even on Ubuntu, not only Windows or Mac). The browser asks for
permission when you login. On Ubuntu Touch the same thing must happen.
I'm not sure I have seen this before (in a WebApp).

I'll give it a try with a new version of the Skype (Unofficial) WebApp
on the Ubuntu Store. We'll see if it works out.

Cheers, Peter
