APN Tester

test Apple Push Notification with ease

Quick Start

Use it Online

APN Tester on Streamlit Community Cloud

Install Locally

pip install "httpx[http2]" cryptography pyjwt streamlit watchdog

Then run it with streamlit

streamlit run main.py

Prerequisite

Before using APN Tester, make sure your mobile client can process push notification correctly:

• Edit the bundle ID and payloads in local-payload.apns then drag it to the simulator to see if it works or not
• Or, edit local-push.py then run python local-push.py to send the push using xcrun simctl push command

Motivation

The Problem

• I need to send push notifications to test APNs (Apple Push Notification Service) for my iOS projects.
• Using push service providers like Pusher can be complicated. Typically, they require:
  • Installing and learning how to use their client library on both the iOS app and the server side.
  • Setting up a server to send push notifications.

What I Want

• Avoid installing third-party libraries in my iOS project that would clutter the codebase.
• Avoid setting up a server just to send a few push notifications.
• Use a simple and user-friendly web UI to send push notifications easily - so here you go! 🚀

Privacy Statements

• this app does not store any information from the users
• all text fields and file uploaded are ephemeral and will be cleared after closing the webapp
