C++11 Project to interact with Apple Push Notification service (APNS)

MacGPusher

This is a small C++11 project for interacting with the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). You can send push notifications to iOS devices or Safari browser (OS X 10.9 only). It also handles the Feedback service.

Installation

First set your certificates paths in global.hpp.

OS X:

Just open MacGPusher.xcodeproj and click the build button.

Linux:

You need a compiler that supports C++11, and to link to libssl and libcrypto, then just run make (Thanks to lledey for the Makefile)

If you want to build it by hand :

gcc:

g++ MMGAPNSConnection.cpp MMGSSLConnection.cpp MMGDevice.cpp MMGTools.cpp MMGPayload.cpp MMGSafariPayload.cpp MMGIOSPayload.cpp main.cpp -lssl -lcrypto -std=c++11 -o MacGPusher

clang:

Some users reported problem building with clang on Debian 7.0 (see #1)

clang++ MMGAPNSConnection.cpp MMGSSLConnection.cpp MMGDevice.cpp MMGTools.cpp MMGPayload.cpp MMGSafariPayload.cpp MMGIOSPayload.cpp main.cpp -lssl -lcrypto -std=c++11 -o MacGPusher

Usage

Look at main.cpp to see a very basic example of sending a notification to a single device.

Look at feedback.cpp to see how to use the feedback service.

Fetching a list of devices is up to you. I use this project with libmysqlclient to fetch a list of ~100k devices and send the notifications with good performances.
