While trying to switch to the new APNs Provider API using Certificate based authentication, I am trying to get a script to deliver a push notification to my testing device. <?php HEADERS - END_STREAM + END_HEADERS :method = POST :scheme = https :path = /3/device/00fc13adff785122b4ad28809a3420982341241421348097878e577c991de8f0 host = api.sandbox.push.apple.com apns-id = eabeae54-14a8-11e5-b60b-1697f925ec7b apns-push-type = alert apns-expiration = 0 apns-priority = 10 DATA + END_STREAM { "aps" : { "alert" : "Hello" } } // Put your device token here (without spaces): $deviceToken = 'bed76ed5078e6b1302f680bfec69aa73ead7045e67c9cb6dac31466b90513c7e'; // Put your private key's passphrase here: $passphrase = 'pushchat'; // Put your alert message here: $message = 'Hello!'; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $ctx = stream_context_create(); stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'ck.pem'); stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase); // Open a connection to the APNS server $fp = stream_socket_client( 'ssl://api.sandbox.push.apple.com:443', $err, $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx); if (!$fp) exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" .

When I try to run the script, the terminal output is: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token ":" in /Users/Desktop/simple push folder/simplepush.php on line 6 When I delete lines 3 - 17, the terminal output is `Connected to APNS Message successfully delivered` Though no message is received. Do any of you know how to correctly add the request header fields to this script?

Before the migration to the new APNs provider API requirement, this PHP script sent test notifications to a testing device. Now when the script is run on a local server, the terminal output is Connected to APNS Message successfully delivered Though no push notification arrives on the test device. <?php // Put your device token here (without spaces): $deviceToken = '09a0c8ff92b3621c5f5032c1fa031f2851d01dd99beaf1446c281c5458fe2ffd'; // Put your private key's passphrase here: $passphrase = 'pushchat'; // Put your alert message here: $message = 'Hello!'; //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $ctx = stream_context_create(); stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', 'ck.pem'); stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $passphrase); // Open a connection to the APNS server $fp = stream_socket_client( 'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err, $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT, $ctx); if (!$fp) exit("Failed to connect: $err $errstr" .

PHP_EOL; else echo 'Message successfully delivered' . PHP_EOL; // Close the connection to the server fclose($fp); After sending a TSI to Apple asking how to correctly migrate to the new APNs provider API, the response included, "To clarify, HTTP/2 is the connection protocol, and defines the endpoint, port, commands you use, and how you package your push request.”  Sending Notification Requests to APNs states: Use HTTP/2 and TLS 1.2 or later to establish a connection between your provider server and one of the following servers..." Development server: api.sandbox.push.apple.com:443 Production server: api.push.apple.com:443 "In addition to the preceding data, add the header fields in Table 1 to your request. Some header fields are required for delivering the notification. Other headers are optional or may depend on whether you’re using token-based or certificate-based authentication." After trying to update the script with the correct servers as well as trying to implement how Sending Notification Requests to APNs documented the use of the new required header fields.

I've been using the following code to register for remote notifications using Objective C. Recently, after building and running the app on a testing device, an iPad mini running iOS 9.3.5, the Debugger Window no longer prints the device token. registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: is not supported in iOS 8.0 and later. I am trying to use the device token to send a test notification using Sending Push Notifications Using Command-Line Tools //REGISTER FOR THE NOTIFICATIONS TYPES - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*)launchOptions {     //-- Set Notification     if ([application respondsToSelector:@selector(isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications)])     {         // iOS 8 Notifications         [application registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]];         [application registerForRemoteNotifications];     }     else     {         // iOS < 8 Notifications         _storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];         [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:          (UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];     }     _storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];     [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:      (UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)];     if (launchOptions != nil)     {         NSDictionary* dictionary = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];         if (dictionary != nil)         {             NSLog(@"Launched from push notification: %@", dictionary);             /*[self addMessageFromRemoteNotification:dictionary updateUI:NO];*/         }     }     return YES; } I have also tried the following: if (@available(iOS , *)) { // iOS 8 Notifications: Registering for notifications and types [application registerUserNotificationSettings:[UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:(UIUserNotificationTypeSound | UIUserNotificationTypeAlert | UIUserNotificationTypeBadge) categories:nil]]; [application registerForRemoteNotifications]; } else { // iOS < 8 Notifications _storyBoard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes: (UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert)]; } And Xcode gives a parse error that says Expected a version of the form 'major[.minor[.subminor]]' What is the correct way to register for push notifications on iOS 9 and above using Objective C?

I have been trying to migrate to the new APNs Provider API. I have successfully generated a new CSR, registered a new App ID, obtained a provider certificate from Apple, installed the certificate and private key on my provider server, and tested using my certificate to make a connection to APNs using this command: openssl s_client -connect "${APNS_HOST_NAME}":443 -cert "${CERTIFICATE_FILE_NAME}" -certform DER -key "${CERTIFICATE_KEY_FILE_NAME}" -keyformat PEM Then I Used The Following Command To Send A Push Notification: % curl -v --header "apns-topic: ${TOPIC}" --header "apns-push-type: alert" --cert "${CERTIFICATE_FILE_NAME}" --cert-type DER --key "${CERTIFICATE_KEY_FILE_NAME}" --key-type PEM --data '{"aps":{"alert":"test"}}' --http2  https://${APNS_HOST_NAME}/3/device/${DEVICE_TOKEN} The HTTP status: 200 (request succeeded), and delivery of a notification with the text “test”on my destination device. Now I would like to use an existing API that uses APNs to send messages on iOS. I am ready to add the request header fields that seem to be required now. Are provisioning profiles still required for APNs development for iOS? I did not see it mentioned in Apple's Documentation.

the only difference between the new apns api and the old one seems to be the lack of pem file creation in the root directory.

Hello. Hope all is well. The app I am working on stopped receiving push notifications yesterday. Both UI updates, and to the device. I noticed an Apple Developer email that was sent out saying, "On March 29, 2021, token and certificate-based HTTP/2 connections to the Apple Push Notification service must incorporate the new root certificate (AAACertificateServices 5/12/2020) which replaces the old GeoTrust Global CA root certificate". Can you please point me in the direction of learning the new technology to incorporate? I'd also like to discuss the validity of the old way of creating SSL certificates and provisioning profiles? Please help me affirm the previously taken steps to incorporate push via APNS as I learn about the new certificates. I am: generating a code signing request from the keychain application on mac Exporting the private key as a p12 file Creating a new app ID Generating and downloading the SSL certificate Generating the pem file Making a new provisioning profile Please help me verify whether these steps are still valid for the APNS enabled app functionality and If I am correct in assuming to drag the downloaded certs included in the Apple Developer email into the folder where the app I am working on connects to APNS.  Aaron N.

After configuring an app to use push notifications with a development provisioning profile and ssl certificate, it is time to switch to production mode so the app can be submitted to the app store. Can the registered devices associated with a developer program membership receive push notifications if signed with a production provisioning profile and ssl certificate before being on the app store?
