APNS Sandbox Load Test

Hi,


We have been using APNS for the last 4 years and would like to conduct a test of our backend service that sends messages to APNS. Is there a special device token to use in order to send 10,000s of messages on the Sandbox environment ? We want to follow the Apple supported way for us to load test our backend service that sends APNS messages. Please advise how we can send many messages to the Sandbox evironment with what appears to be a valid device token so we can load test.

What are you hoping to learn from this test? Are you hoping to test the throughput of your application, or are you hoping to learn something about the capacity of the APNs servers themselves? If it's the former, my strong recommendation would be to use a mock server that just says "yes" to everything. If you happen to be using Pushy, you might be interested to learn that we're adding some tools to do exactly that.


Cheers!
