enrian / apns-notifier

A simple Python 2.7 Flask app for sending APNs notifications over Apple's legacy TCP protocol (not HTTP/2).

This is a very crude Flask app that accepts notification requests via REST call and creates and sends out APNs push notifications. This app only works with Apple's legacy TCP connections, not the newer HTTP/2 transport.

You will need one or two certificates from Apple plus their matching private keys: one cert/key for the sandbox environment and another for production APNs service.

To run:

% python notifier.py
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:8066/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Testing. Get the device token returned to your mobile device from Apple. This should be a 32-byte value in a Data instance. Convert to a 64-character hex string and plop in the curl command below replacing DEVICE_TOKEN with your value:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"platform":"apple","device_id":"DEVICE_TOKEN","type":"message","channel_name":"taskme_foo"}' http://localhost:8066/api/v1/send_push
