Command-line tool for interacting with APNs

apnstool is a command-line tool for interacting with APNs (the Apple Push Notification service). It makes it simple to test your APNs credentials and different notification types.

Why?

There are several web-based tools for testing APNs. They are fairly limited (don't support headers, don't support token-based credentials) and require you to provide your APNs credentials to a 3rd-party website.

This tool is open-source and meant to be run from your computer. It supports most common features of APNs (and can be extended to support more).

This tool is not meant for production usage

There are many production-ready options for interacting with APNs that offer cross-platform notifications, advanced device management, and multi-targeting.

I'm partial to Azure Notification Hubs.

TODO

  • Add support for APNs certificate-based authentication.
  • Add support for saving credentials.
  • Add support for getting flags from config/environment.
  • Add support for reading the --data value from stdin.
  • Add support for arbitrary apns- headers.
