I am an iOS developer and i was asked to what type(whole ie header as well as body) of request to hit APN to get notification to device.
I read many tutorial for setup of server for APN but I am unable to understand as i have no knowledge about PhP and Node Js. After reading apple document , I came to know that it uses http/2 and other various tag and value. But i am unable to construct full request. Any help is highly appreciated.
To send an APNs request using PHP, you need these requirements:
.pem
certificate which should exist in the same path of your php script. Then you can try the following code:
<?php
$apnsServer = 'ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195';
$privateKeyPassword = '1234'; // your .pem private key password
$message = 'Hello world!';
$deviceToken = 'YOUR_DEVICE_TOKEN_HERE';
$pushCertAndKeyPemFile = 'PushCertificateAndKey.pem'; // Your .pem certificate
$stream = stream_context_create();
stream_context_set_option($stream,
'ssl',
'passphrase',
$privateKeyPassword);
stream_context_set_option($stream,
'ssl',
'local_cert',
$pushCertAndKeyPemFile);
$connectionTimeout = 20;
$connectionType = STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT | STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT;
$connection = stream_socket_client($apnsServer,
$errorNumber,
$errorString,
$connectionTimeout,
$connectionType,
$stream);
if (!$connection){
echo "Failed to connect to the APNS server. Error no = $errorNumber<br/>";
exit;
} else {
echo "Successfully connected to the APNS...";
}
$messageBody['aps'] = array('alert' => $message,
'sound' => 'default',
'badge' => 2,
);
$payload = json_encode($messageBody);
$notification = chr(0) .
pack('n', 32) .
pack('H*', $deviceToken) .
pack('n', strlen($payload)) .
$payload;
$wroteSuccessfully = fwrite($connection, $notification, strlen($notification));
if (!$wroteSuccessfully){
echo "Could not send the message.";
}
else {
echo "Successfully sent the message.";
}
fclose($connection);
?>
Refer to this link for more details.
We just use plain CURL to do http2 requests to APNS
Pre-requisites: You have a valid SSL cert converted to a .PEM from Developer console
/usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.50.0/bin/curl -v \
-d '{"aps":{"alert":"Hello","content-available": 1, "sound": ""}}' \
-H "apns-topic: com.yourapp.bundleid" \
-H "apns-expiration: 1" \
-H "apns-priority: 10" \
--http2 \
--cert /Users/PATHTOPEM/key.pem:YOURPASSWORD \
https://api.push.apple.com/3/device/YOURDEVICETOKEN
Or if you are wary of using the terminal try this MacOS app to send push notifications, it is so easy.
Pre-requisites: You need to have the cert signing authority and the private SSL cert in your keychain.
