I have google apps paid account, I setup my gmail as an exchange account on iOS. I used to get push before 8.4, now it stopped working.

It stopped for both my iphone and ipad. Anyone else?

I am having the exact same issue with google apps

Don't have other email accounts so can't narrow it down. But it's driving me nuts.

I have issues with Google apps. I never get push notifications in Hangouts ... I always have to check the app manually to see if I got any new messages. Every other app works fine so it has to be something with Google. :/

I'm having the same problem as well: Google Apps push email stopped working with 8.4.

Glad it's not just me.... Guess we'll be without it for a while

There is a long-standing thread in Apple Communities on this topic, apparently Gmail push problems have existed prior to 8.4. On the last page a user posts their dialog with Google on the matter, and posted two links to resolve this by setting up an "Apple Push Certificate". This does not apply to me since I'm not a Google Apps user, but for those that are take a look at these two Google articles which seem to solve the issue according the the AC user who posted them:

“Set up IOS Sync for Google Apps”
https://support.google.com/a/answer/6088059?hl=en

“Apple Push Certificate Setup Flow”
https://support.google.com/a/answer/6080359


For reference, here's the Apple Communities thread (last page, look at "obx12's" post):

I had the same issue but found that if I went into Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings then to Fetch new Data and switched the Google account from push to fetch and back to push again it started working. Fingers crossed it's been OK since!

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it but still no push after toggling and sending myself an email from another account. Grrrr

I saw that it had been well reviewed, I am a little hesitant because I used a few shared calendars with google apps, ie my family members each have their own and I can view them in my calendar app on iphone as well edit them if needed. I have yet to find a client (besides using google apps exchange) for the iphone that works well with shared calenders natively.

Quite frankly the only reason I am paying google is to use the push email feature on our iphones, all the other benefits are negligible in my opinion. I really hope this get fixed quickly but I will take a look at Outlook, thanks for the suggestion.

Working fine on my Mini 2 (8.3) but failing on my 6+ (8.4).
Looks like another chapter in the Apple vs. Google adventure series.

Push email is much better than it was on 8.3. I've only noticed once that for my gmail account I didn't get the notification at the same time on my phone and iPad. iPad got it 5 minutes before the iPhone.

FYI, push email no longer works with my outlook.com account (configured to use Exchange Activesync) either. I tried turning the setting off and back on, but it still doesn't work. Emails used to get pushed to the phone within seconds with iOS 8.3.

iOS 8.4 seems to have a lot of issues. Add all the troubles people are having with iTunes 12.2 and Apple Music ... I'm really wondering what's going on at Apple. Their QA has become terrible. Perhaps they should focus less on giving $17,000 gold watches to celebrities and more on testing their software before releasing it.

Rigby my Outlook is pushing and working fine. Just always had a delay in sending mail. To be honest I have been thinking for a while to drop Google entirely for Outlook or iCloud. Only issue with iCloud is I am worried about reliability of email actually being delivered. On iCloud last week a friend sent me a "girly" email and it never delivered to my iCloud inbox so I know Apple is still silent filtering and I do not like that.

Almost seems as if Google is pushing everyone to use there terrible Gmail app. My issue is I can't see the text as too small.

Question for those using the paid Google Apps. Can you just use a personal gmail address of do you have to have a business domain email address?

Well, it wasn't for me. But I just deleted the account on the iPhone and recreated it from scratch. Now push is working again. Weird.
Just always had a delay in sending mail.
Push on outlook.com has always been very fast for me (when sending a test mail from my computer I usually hear the chime on the phone within 10 seconds).
To be honest I have been thinking for a while to drop Google entirely for Outlook or iCloud.
I'm quite happy with outlook.com. iCloud doesn't compare when it comes to email functionality.

I agree iCloud does not compare to Outlook. To me Microsoft is the email pioneer and light years ahead of others.

Out of curiosity what hosting company is everyone using to host there domains? I started with GoDaddy than moved my domain over to Google Domains (which is in beta). I wonder if the hosting company is playing an issue with the email issues?

Hi. For me, email is working fine sending and receiving from my Google paid account in my iPhon. But it doesn't synch contacts or calendar. I can't even see my account as an option from the address book or the calendar app.

But are you getting push?
