Send Test Notification

Run your app on a physical device, permit your app to receive push notifications, and observe the Xcode console for your device token:

Lock your iOS device, input the device token printed to the Xcode console, and select your app to send a test push notification:

Note: You can specify a topic instead of a device token (i.e. /topics/news). Also, if your app is not automatically detected, please manually copy the Secret API Key from the Dashboard and paste it into the form.

Did you receive the notification? If not, reach out, we'll be glad to help.

Test Notification Payload

You can replicate the functionality of this demo by sending a POST request to our Send Notifications API with the following body: 

{
    "to": "DEVICE_TOKEN",
    "data": {
        "message": "Hello World!",
    },
    notification: {
        title: "Test Notification",
        body: "Hello World \u270c",
        sound: "ping.aiff",
        badge: 1
    }
}

Note: Make sure to replace DEVICE_TOKEN with the device token printed to the Xcode console.

Congratulations on implementing Pushy in your iOS app!

To start sending push notifications to your users, start persisting device tokens in your backend, and invoke the Send Notifications API when you want to send a notification. Follow our step-by-step guide:
