The connection on port 443 uses a proxy as long as the proxy allows the communication to pass through without decrypting.

TCP port 443 is used during device activation, and afterwards for fallback if devices can't reach APNs on port 5223.

TCP port 443 or 2197 to send notifications to APNs.

TCP port 5223 to communicate with APNs.

Server.post('/register', (req, res, next) => else if (device.If you use a firewall or private Access Point Name for cellular data, your Apple devices must be able to connect to specific ports on specific hosts: After making sure mongodb is installed and running on your machine, our restify endpoint would look something like this: const restify = require('restify') ĭb.on('error', (console, 'connection error:')) Mongoose is generally a lot more powerful than this implementation, with validations and enumerations that allow for easy error checking, but for the purposes of this demo we’ll use a basic schema. So our mongoose schema, with the proper requirements, would look something like this: const mongoose = require('mongoose') Ĭonst DeviceSchema = mongoose.model('Device', Device) Technically–in some mongoose schema code golf scenario–we just need the deviceId, and could make both calls with one always failing. Registerįor a basic implementation we only need two pieces of information: the deviceId and platform (Android or iOS). We’ll also be using restify to set up our endpoints. Register will utilize the mongodb node module mongoose and Send will leverage two platform-specific node modules: apns y node-gcm. To achieve this we’ll create two endpoints: register and send.

A push notification server consists of two parts: storing deviceIds and sending push notifications.
