Apple Push Notifications update

[Andrew at MidWest Coast Media]

I feel blindsided by an email I received today from Apple indicating they are deprecating the binary  push notification method at the end of the month. I’ve dealt enough with trying to keep up with Android push changes over the years, but this seems to be the first major Apple update. 

This binary they speak of is the put tBinary into URL("binfile:Notification.bin") in the lesson @ https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/53405-how-do-i-use-push-notifications-with-ios correct?


Dear Andrew, 

The HTTP/2‑based Apple Push Notification service (APNs) provider API lets you take advantage of great features, such as authentication with a JSON Web Token, improved error messaging, and per‑notification feedback. If you still send push notifications with the legacy binary protocol, make sure to upgrade to the APNs provider API as soon as possible. APNs will no longer support the legacy binary protocol after March 31, 2021. 

Learn about the APNs provider API. <https://c.apple.com/r?v=2&la=en&lc=usa&a=CNdgYdqwvu2iO3mBIRcar%2FJcxWlCP7egL2YcMNgQrBsS67V0mccFyK105c9WRNRb05Q57ynV1YWZ%2FXmQ%2BKiVs%2FTCY%2Fm%2FZu1tEirkA1YHk6%2BXMNqMoB0WeTdqKRZkW%2BABnptwCaCCCB4aAme4%2BG8WQQ%3D%3D&ct=ac4g4E4J4p>
