[Ovmsdev] Urgent server issue: Apple push notification API deprecated

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Michael,

Yes, seems I missed this. My other projects use either AWS SNS or EXPO so abstract this out.

It appears that a simple short-term solution is to switch to Net::APNS::Simple (which says it uses the Apple HTTP/2 interface). It is blocking, but we could wrap it in a fork_call just like the GCM implementation does.

It is late here now, but I can have a look at it tomorrow (unless anyone else can have a go at it earlier).

Regards, Mark.
