Support APNS with Token Authentication

[JanC]

Hi,
Apple supports JWT token authentication and I was wondering if there is a plan to add this to the Knuff app. If no, what would be the contribution guidelines?

Reference:

• Apple Docs - Communicating with APNs
• WWDC 2016 - Session 724 : Token Based Authentication

cheers

Yes, this is very high up on my want-list for Knuff!
This fall have been crazy and the time haven't been here for Knuff. I will try to have a look at pull requests and merge/comment on them asap, so they are very welcoming!

ok great, I'll be happy to contribute as I use Knuff a lot. I'll create a PR if I have time to implement this

Hi,
Just for the record, I started this ticket in the JWT library because it's something that will be needed for this feature.

@JanC What is the status of yourkarma/JWT#116 nowadays?

[JanC]

Funny that you ask because I was wondering that as well :)
I started to have a look at other solutions such as https://github.com/vapor/vapor-jwt

but it also does not work out of the box with Apple's keys apparently
vapor/jwt#47

https://github.com/ethanhuang13/CupertinoJWT seems to be the best alternative to date.
