Step 5. Push Notification - mtjddnr/SafariAPNSWithNode GitHub Wiki

• Same as iOS APNS (Great, we can use node-apn https://github.com/argon/node-apn)
• Same rules as iOS APNS (Same length limit: maximum 256 bytes)
• Do not connect to development environment server (only gateway.push.apple.com works)
• New keys: action, url-args
• Example

{
   "aps": {
       "alert": {
           "title": "Flight A998 Now Boarding",
           "body": "Boarding has begun for Flight A998.",
           "action": "View"
       },
       "url-args": ["boarding", "A998"]
   }
}

• url-args: This is where your urlFormatString will be used to.

If urlFormatString is "http://www.host.com/?id=%@&code=%@" and user clicks notification with upper example, Safari will navigate user to "http://www.host.com/?id=bording&code=A998"

• Watch out data type in url-args.

  if you use Integer value in url-args and %@ in urlFormatString, JSON will looks like "url-args": [ 1234 ] and notification will not work.

• Watch out number of arguments.

  If you use two %@ then you have to use two strings in url-args
