[Ovmsdev] Apple push notifications no longer working

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Push notifications are still working ok for me. What is the error you get back from the gateway?

We are using this protocol (see apns_send function):

https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/BinaryProviderAPI.html <https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/BinaryProviderAPI.html>

We need to convert to this one:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/sending_notification_requests_to_apns/ <https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/sending_notification_requests_to_apns/>

But have until the end of March 2021 to do it. The switch is not complex, and is probably slightly easier for us. It becomes just a simple http request, with pretty much the same payload we currently use (in json format).

Regards, Mark.
