[Ovmsdev] Apple push notifications no longer working

[Michael Balzer]

That's the strange part: I don't get any error, and I don't get a 
timeout either. That's what I meant by "fails in a way we don't handle".

This is the only log entry on "apns processing", I get this once after 
restarting the server as soon as the first APN is due for delivery:

2020-12-10 16:55:30.351530 +0100 info  main: - - - msg apns processing 
queue for gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com

(still running server v2 due to lack of time)

After that, no more apns processing – I guess because $apns_running 
never gets reset.

Any idea?

Regards,
Michael
