ApplePush

Multi-environment Sinatra-based API service to communicate with Apple Push Notifications server.

Why?

The difference between most of other APN daemons/libraries is that ApplePush provides a simple HTTP API and also could be configured to use both live and sandbox environments with configurable connections pools.

Installation

Install via rubybems:

gem install apple_push

Or clone the repo and run:

bundle install
rake install

Works with Ruby 1.9.2, 1.9.3, 2.0.0

Usage

Create a YAML configuration file:

host: 127.0.0.1
port: 27000
  
sandbox:
  cert: path/to/your/certificate.pem
  key: path/to/your/key.pem
  pool: 1
  
live:
  cert: path/to/your/certificate.pem
  key: path/to/your/key.pem
  pool: 1

To start server run:

apple_push path/to/your/config.yml

Using with foreman

If you want to use apple_push server with foreman, you'll need to create a Procfile:

apn: apple_push config/apn.yml

API
