Does APNS use the new HTTP-2 notification API?

Messaging Service Push Notifications
1

Hi,

I’m new to Backendless and still trying to get a feel for whether the platform is going to be suitable to my needs. I had planned on using Parse, but now that’s not an option…

An initial question I’ve come across in setting up my app settings is about push notifications, namely, whether Backendless has implemented the new HTTP/2 Apple Push Notification API or not. I’m trying to determine what type of certificate I should generate for handling push notifications through the staging service provided by Apple.

Thanks!

Hi Trey,

I am going to find out the answer for this question and will report back.

Hi Trey,

You should use an universal certificate - https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/AddingCapabilities/AddingCapabilities.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH26-SW11

Hi Trey,

Currently when you deploy a development certificate we use the development servers for APNS. If you were to deploy a universal certificate, we use the production servers. We’re planning a few changes to give you more control over the servers we use.
