How to test Push Notification is working in my application

Question

In my application I am implementing the Push Notification Service.
I have a Content Provider server, which contains some products in it.
I have generated the SSL Cli

Answer 1

PushMeBaby is frozen when I test iOS10 in Xcode8. Try NWPusher, https://github.com/noodlewerk/NWPusher. A friendly and simple tool with GUI.

Answer 2

Very cool guide is posted here: Programming Apple Push Notification Services

And an application named PushMeBaby Mac Os App which you can download and use for sending push-notifications to your devices from a Mac.

APNS will send the push notification to your device as soon as your device will become available. If I've not mistaken your device pings APNS every minute.

Answer 3

You should try the the branch of PushMeBaby, it worked for me.

Answer 4

I created a small script to do that

import json
import jwt
import time

from hyper import HTTPConnection

ALGORITHM = 'ES256'

# fill these items
APNS_KEY_ID = ''
TEAM_ID = ''
BUNDLE_ID = ''

# put path to p8 file
APNS_AUTH_KEY = ''

# put device token id (of the notification receiver)
REGISTRATION_ID = ''

# let's do the magic :)
f = open(APNS_AUTH_KEY)
secret = f.read()

token = jwt.encode(
    {
        'iss': TEAM_ID,
        'iat': time.time()
    },
    secret,
    algorithm= ALGORITHM,
    headers={
       'alg': ALGORITHM,
        'kid': APNS_KEY_ID,
   }
)

path = '/3/device/{0}'.format(REGISTRATION_ID)

equest_headers = {
'apns-expiration': '0',
'apns-priority': '10',
'apns-topic': BUNDLE_ID,
'authorization': 'bearer {0}'.format(token.decode('ascii'))
}

connection = HTTPConnection('api.development.push.apple.com:443')

# put the payload you need
payload_data = {
'aps': {
 'content-available': '1',
 },
}
payload = json.dumps(payload_data).encode('utf-8')

connection.request(
'POST',
path,
payload,
headers=request_headers
)
resp = connection.get_response()

print(resp.status)
print(resp.read())
