Hi there,

What should be the approach?Thanks,

It should all be via http requests from what I've read of WNS. Check out this page for example code http:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/windows-push-notification-services--wns--overviewSo basically you can go socket direct with QNetwork* classes or you can go with http helpers with the QHttp* classes. It's basically up to you how you want to handle it.

Document says for requesting channel URI there should be call to createPushNotificationChannelForApplicationAsync API (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/apps/hh465412) which needs support for Windows Runtime.
We are currently using Qt 5.9.1 Desktop binaries, but for having, Windows Runtime support, do we need to upgrade our Qt to Qt WinRT?
I tried to call this API with Qt 5.9.1 Desktop binaries, but that is not working. As soon as I enable WinRt support in my Qt Desktop application it gives me following warning at runtime.The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000a200). Click OK to close the application.
Which indicates a COM error “This operation is only valid in the context of an app container.”Let me know if some more information is required.

@Hetal I've never used WinRT, with or without Qt. So I can't answer this. You can try creating a new topic specifically about using WinRT and Qt and someone who is more into Windows could help. :)
