[iMessage Apple group SMS messaging] [ios push certificate configuration]

Apple Calendar Bulk Deployment Sets up a push server. A push server is used to send push notifications to devices using the Apple Calendar application. The push server needs to be able to communicate with Apple Push Notification Service (APNs). How to do it?

Deployment Setting up a push server and communicating with APNs requires the following steps:

Get APNs certificate: In your Apple developer account, create an App ID for push notifications and generate an APNs certificate for it. This certificate will be used to establish a secure connection with APNs to ensure secure transmission of push notifications.

Person person; person.set_name("John Doe"); person.set_id(1234); person.set_email("jdoe@example.com"); fstream output("myfile", ios::out | ios::binary); person.SerializeToOstream(&output);

Then, you can read the data in the message:

fstream input("myfile", ios::in | ios::binary); Person person; person.ParseFromIstream(&input); cout << "Name: " << person.name() << endl; cout << "E-mail: " << person.email() << endl;

You can add fields to the data structure at will without affecting backward compatibility. During deserialization, the old data will ignore the new fields. So if you use ProtocolBuffer as the communication protocol, you can extend the protocol without worrying about breaking existing code.

You can find a complete reference in the API reference (developers.google.com/protocol-bu…), and the message format encoding of ProtocolBuffer can be found in (https://developers. Reference found at google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/encoding ).

Why not use XML?

ProtocolBuffer has a number of features that are more advanced than XML for serializing structured data. ProtocolBuffer:

· simpler

· 3-10 times smaller

· 20-100 times faster

· Less ambiguity

· Can easily generate data access classes

For example, let's see how to model the Person's name and email fields in XML:

John Doe jdoe@example.com Configure push notification service: In your push server, configure the APNs certificate and key to ensure that a secure connection can be established with APNs. The push server needs to be able to send HTTP/2 requests to the APNs server.

Get device identifier (Device Token): In your mobile app, when a user opens the app for the first time, register for push notifications and obtain the device’s device identifier (Device Token). Send these device identifiers to your push server so the server knows which devices to send notifications to.

Build push notification: In your push server, build the push notifications you want to send. Push notifications should contain information about the calendar event such as title, time, location, etc. Make sure to build notifications according to APNs specifications.

Send push notification: Push notifications are sent to the APNs server along with the device identifier using the HTTP/2 interface provided by APNs. APNs forwards push notifications to the appropriate device.

Handle push notifications: On the user's iOS device, the Apple Calendar app will receive the push notification and trigger the appropriate handler when the notification is received to display the notification in the calendar.

It should be noted that the push server is not the Apple Calendar application itself, but the server-side application you develop yourself. You need to develop an application on the server side that receives the event data to be pushed and communicates with APNs to send push notifications.

When developing a push server, you can choose to use the APNs HTTP/2 interface provided by Apple or a third-party push service provider to simplify the integration process of push notifications. Some popular third-party push service providers include OneSignal, Firebase Cloud Messaging, etc.

To summarize, deploying and setting up a push server requires configuring APNs certificates, enabling secure communication with APNs, obtaining device identifiers, building and sending push notifications, and processing received push notifications on iOS devices. This requires corresponding knowledge of backend development and mobile application development, as well as understanding of APNs.
