Add Rapns to your Gemfile:

app.certificate = File.read("/path/to/development.pem")

- Advanced APNs Features
- APNs Delivery Failure Handling
- Why open multiple connections to the APNs?
- Silent failures might be dropped connections
Fork as usual and go crazy!
When running specs, please note that the ActiveRecord adapter can be changed by setting the ADAPTER environment variable. For example: ADAPTER=postgresql rake.
Available adapters for testing are mysql, mysql2 and postgresql.
Note that the database username is changed at runtime to be the currently logged in user's name. So if you're testing with mysql and you're using a user named 'bob', you will need to grant a mysql user 'bob' access to the 'rapns_test' mysql database.
