Apple Push Notification Service (APNS)

Apple Push Notification Service (APNS)

While working on my new project on Mobile Device Management stumbled with this new concept APNS from Apple which acts as a very crucial component when syncing our iDevices with the Apple Servers. Hence, thought of sharing on my blog!!!

The Apple Push Notification Service (APNS for short) is a mobile notification service created by Apple, Inc. APNS uses push technology through an accredited and encrypted IP connection to forward notifications over persistent connections from application servers like Zenprise Device Manager to iOS devices like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Many iOS applications present dynamic content delivered over the Internet.



Push notifications (also known as remote notifications) are a way to let users know that new or updated content they're interested in is available even if the target application is not running. APNS notifications can include applications data updates, triggered alert sounds or custom text alerts to the iOS device.
