I would just to get things clear here or get other suggestions if possible if it is better.

This is how my application works now:

1) Anonymous user is created if its the first time the user open the application

2) Phone verification is needed to be done. If verified, i save the phone number in a custom field in user object ( do i need to make this user a real user after this or can i still go with anonymous user?)( verification is one time only of course)

3) The user will be able to pick a friend from his contact list(ABPeoplePicker) and then send a push notification to that friend's device.

Now i have set up a relationship with the User and the installation object with this code:

PFInstallation *installation = [PFInstallation currentInstallation];
installation[@"user"] = [PFUser currentUser];
[installation saveInBackground];

And this created a pointer to the users ObjectId

So my question is how would i create a query and send a push notification to a number retrieved from that Users friend list?. I am having a hard time to connect how i can get from a phone number to the installation device that i need to send the notification to. If you could provide help in javascript since i read it is safer to send it through cloud code!

Also a subquestion mentioned above if i need to make the anonymous user to a real user.

many thanks!!
