APN Tools

install

npm install -g apn-tool
# or 
yarn global add apn-tool

Setup

To install a new certificate simply run apn-tool install-cert ./the-cert.p8, which will then ask for the key ID and the team ID. After this has been setup the apn-tool is good to go.

Named settings

All commands take an optional --settings-name or -s argument, for named instances, so if multi setup is required, simply run apn-tool install-cert ./the-cert.p8 -s demo. To use this setting afterwards, simply run the command with this setting apn-tool send -s demo

Sending push notifications

You can either send a predefined push notification by passing the path to a JSON file containing the notification as apn-tool send ./the-file.json, or specify the parameters ad-hoc using apn-tool send, which will ask for the individual informations for the push notification

The device token is supplied either through --device-token the-token / -d the-token or using an environment variable named APN_DEVICE_TOKEN.
