Un - provisioning an application

[mikeytrw]

If multiple requests for provisioning an appID are ignored, we shouldn't we add a method for killing a provision - to allow for updating PEM files without restarting the server?

Good idea

Line 273:

def xmlrpc_unprovision(self,app_id,environment):
""" Stops an APNSService and removes it from the list of appIDs

    Arguments:
      app_id                 the app_id to provision for APNS
      environment            either 'sandbox' or 'production'

    Returns:
      None
    """
if app_id in self.app_ids:
  self.apns_service(app_id).stopService()
  del self.app_ids[app_id]
else:
  raise xmlrpc.Fault(500, 'That AppID does not exist.')

I was going to add the ability to have an app provisioned for sandbox and production, hence the environment parameter which is currently ignored

Be warned that this may affect notifications that are currently in transmission. It will likely be a very small amount and a corner case but could still cancel some notifications, depending on your load.

[mikeytrw]

Good point. Will amend as necessary.

This is the reason I didn't support it originally. If you want to ensure delivery, you can keep a copy of all the transmissions' deferreds in an instance variable on the server class. When each one completes or fails, clean up. When un-provisioning, spin until all deferreds in that list are cleaned up, or time them out.
