APNS Environments

Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) delivers user notifications on iOS devices. To use APNS for push notification, you must enable APNS notifications for Unwired Server.

iOS devices do not require a runtime or a client; only the application must be deployed to the device. The lack of a runtime allows users to self-manage their devices: device users download application files to their iOS devices and synchronize updates as required.

Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) allows users to receive notifications. APNS:

Must be set up and configured by an administrator on the server.
Must be enabled by the user on the device.
Can be used with any device that supports APNS. Some older Apple devices may not support APNS.
Cannot be used on a simulator.

Configuring Apple Push Notification Service
Use Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) to push notifications from Unwired Server to the iOS application. Notifications might include badges, sounds, or custom text alerts. Device users can use Settings to customize which notifications to receive or ignore.
