apple-push-notifications

Our push notification script that has worked for almost a year has suddenly stopped working. The script does the following: Queries a DB for a list of iPhone device tokens Opens an SSL socket connection to Apple's live APNS server $ctx = stream_context_create(); stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $apnsCert); stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'passphrase', $pass); $fp = stream_socket_client($apnsHost, $err, $errstr, 60, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT, $ctx); creates a payload with a 255 byte sized message $payload = '{ "aps": { "alert": "' . $message . '", "badge": 1, "sound":

I currently have an Apple Push Notification running on my server in Ruby. I'd like to get one going in Erlang as I'd like to use a supervisor to keep watch over it. Does anyone have any code that they could help me with? Here's my Ruby code. One thing I do not like about this current implementation is that it does not seem to stay connected - it disconnects 2-3 times a day, and it seems after I reconnect that the first push will not go through: context = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new context.cert = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(File.read(cert)) context.key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(File.read

From Apple's document I understand that if the device is offline, the APNS holds the last notification and sends it to the device when the device is back online. Is there is any mechanism to avoid that resending? The answer is NO Here is what apple says about it, If APNs attempts to deliver a notification but the device is offline, the notification is stored for a limited period of time, and delivered to the device when it becomes available. Only one recent notification for a particular application is stored. If multiple notifications are sent while the device is offline, each new notification

I need to do it on a chat app to notice the client that there is new data to fetch from the server. I know that technically it is possible with an empty payload (at least on ios 5 device it worked), but can Apple see it as abuse of service or is it OK to do it? And is it technically possible on ios 4 device? Yes, increment only badge number, dont send sound and alert, So, there will be one badge on the App icon. So, here unknowingly the badge number will be incremented to show that something has been recieved when user watches the app icon. But your device won't recive alert or empty payload

One of the feature in my app is to unregister user from the remote pushnotification when user logs-out from the app. Is there way I can unregister the app from push notification when user logs out while the device is in airplane(offline) mode? I tried this code but I still receive notifications when I come back online, [[UIApplication sharedApplication] unregisterForRemoteNotifications]; Could some one help how to remove app from notification center when the device is in airplane mode? Apple controls remote push notifications. If you are offline you logically cannot disable it. When Apple

I am asking about two situations: 1) After we do a regular update from the App Store 2) After we simulate an update, by downloading a current version from a Store and installing & running a new version from within Xcode, does push notification token changes? If changes, how often eg. each time, or from time to time? I ask this, because I was doing some testing, where I want to preserve Documents folder after an update. So this can be easily done like I described above, by downloading the app from the Store, and running a new version from within Xcode. But, I noticed that push notifications
