## Common questions

### How does the proxy decide whether to send a VoIP push?

Dispatch is driven by the transport field on the incoming notification. When transport=voip, the proxy emits a VoIP-shaped APNs request using the existing apple_rn configuration.

### When does the documentation say you must host your own push proxy?

Customers building their own custom mobile apps must host their own push proxy service.
