in that case if you if you set up your server (how do this i don`t now, because i used quickblox - ready-made solution) try send GET-request to the server. You can try this like this:
(source - How to send a Get request in iOS? )
NSString *getString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"parameter=%@",yourvalue];
NSData *getData = [getString dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *getLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [getData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https:yoururl"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:getData];
self.urlConnection = [[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self] autorelease];
NSAssert(self.urlConnection != nil, @"Failure to create URL connection.");
// show in the status bar that network activity is starting
[UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
