I've implemented pass generation successfully and it's updated through Apple's silent notification, which updates the passes to their latest versions.

I want to send some marketing push notifications to the Apple Wallet App as shown in my post at stackoverflow.

Here is the Silent notification implementation, which is working perfectly fine.

const options: apn.ProviderOptions = {
  token: {
    key: fs.readFileSync("./certs/APNs_AuthKey_7YYF346FU5.p8"),
    keyId: "******",
    teamId: "******",
  },
  pfx: fs.readFileSync("./certs/private_key.pem"),
  cert: fs.readFileSync("./certs/certificate.pem"),
  production: true,
  rejectUnauthorized: true,
};

const apnProvider = new apn.Provider(options);

async function sendSilentPushNotification(
  deviceTokens: string[],
  serialNumber: string
) {
  try {
    const notification = new apn.Notification();

    notification.topic = "pass.com.digital.passmaker";

    notification.payload = {
      aps: {
        "content-available": 1,
      },
      serialNumber,
    };

    notification.priority = 5;
    return await apnProvider.send(notification, deviceTokens);
  } catch (error) {
    logger.error("Apple Notification error: " + error);
    return error;
  }
}

Here is the marketing notification I am trying to send, it is working with success, but I don't see any notification on mobile phone.

please help me to fix it.

async function sendCustomPushNotification(
  deviceTokens: string[],
  serialNumber: string,
  title: string,
  body: string,
  category?: string,
  badge?: number
) {
  try {
    const notification = new apn.Notification();

    notification.topic = "pass.com.digital.passmaker";

    // Set the title and body of the notification
    notification.alert = {
      title: title,
      subtitle: "Pass Update",
      body: body,
    };

    // Set the sound to play when the notification is received
    notification.sound = "default";

    // Set the badge number on the app icon (optional)
    if (badge !== undefined) {
      notification.badge = badge;
    }

    notification.contentAvailable = true;
    notification.mutableContent = true;
    notification.aps.category = category;
    notification.aps.alert = {
      title: title,
      body: body,
    };
    notification.aps.badge = badge;
    notification.aps["content-available"] = 1;
    notification.aps["launch-image"] =
      "https://banner2.cleanpng.com/20180423/gkw/.......jpg";

    // You can still include the serialNumber in the custom payload
    notification.payload = {
      serialNumber: serialNumber,
      aps: {
        "content-available": 1,
        "mutable-content": 1,
        "interruption-level": "time-sensitive",
      },
    };

    // Set to high priority
    notification.priority = 10;

    return await apnProvider.send(notification, deviceTokens);
  } catch (error) {
    logger.error("Apple Notification error: " + error);
    return error;
  }
}

I literally receive a success response from api returning the device pushToken with no errors. However, no notification show on my iPhone
