Ports number needed to open to receive push notification from APNS

Question

I would like to understand the cycle of APNS with my web server to receive push notification. I open the port 2195 from my webserver in the (out side), do I need another port to open it in my sever to receive the push notification??? because still not received it.

please help!

Answer 1

Yes, port 2195 open. With APNS, you only send out things. Apple doesn't send you anything back unless you're using the feedback gateway, which I guess is not your case...

Your server do not receive push notifications. It only sends requests to Apple, which then sends notifications to iOS devices or MacOS desktops.

If your device did not receive and your server code is being able to establish a connection with apple, much probably your push cert is not uploaded to your server or it has permission problems or it was not properly generated at your iOS dev website.

ps if you're sending OUT things, your port logically should be open from inside (outbound) in your server
