libAPNs

This is a C# library for interfacing with Apple's Push Notification Service.

Usage

Load your certificate:

var certificatePath = "PATH_TO_CERTIFICATE"; // <- change this
var certificatePassword = "PASSWORD"; // <- change this
var clientCertificate = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword);

Create a new payload:

var payload = new Payload(new PayloadAlertMessage("Test Message"), 1, "beep.wav");

Create a device token object with the device id you want to send to:

var deviceToken = new DeviceToken("fe58fc8f527c363d1b775dca133e04bff24dc5032d08836992395cc56bfa62ef");

Create a new notification, both simple and enhanced notifications are supported:

var simpleNotification = new SimpleNotification(deviceToken, payload);
// an enhanced notification with an identifier set to 1234 and an expiration set to 1 day.
var enhancedNotification = new EnhancedNotification(deviceToken, payload, 1234, new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0)); 

Create a new APNS object with the certificate:

var pushService = new APNS(true, clientCertificate); // a push service that will connect to the sandbox apns

Enhanced notifications will return a response:

var response = pushService.SendEnhancedNotification(enhancedNotification);
if (response != null) {
    // an error occurred
    Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
    Console.WriteLine(response.Identifier);
}

Simple notifications don't return anything:

pushService.SendSimpleNotification(simpleNotification);

That's It!

Full Sample

class Program
{
  
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //load certificate
        var certificatePath = "apple_push_notification_certificate.p12";
        var certificatePassword = "";
        var clientCertificate = new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, certificatePassword);

        var payload = new Payload(new PayloadAlertMessage("Test Message"), 1, "beep.wav");
        var deviceToken = new DeviceToken("fe58fc8f527c363d1b775dca133e04bff24dc5032d08836992395cc56bfa62ef");

        var notification = new EnhancedNotification(deviceToken, payload, 1234, new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0, 0));

        var s = new APNS(true, clientCertificate);
        var response = s.SendEnhancedNotification(notification);
        if (response != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Received Error!");
            Console.WriteLine("Identifier: {0}", response.Identifier);
            Console.WriteLine(response.StatusCode);
        }


        Console.Write("Message sent!");
        

        Console.Read();
    }
}
