Getting started with Push notifications on iOS

PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud PingAM iOS

This use case explains how to integrate support for push authentication into your iOS project by using the Push module.

Step 1. Configuring APNs for Push notifications on iOS

In this step, you configure Apple Push Notification service (APNs), which handles sending the push notifications to iOS devices.

You create a key that provides access to the service for third-parties.

Step 2. Configuring AWS for Push notifications on iOS

In this step, you use the service account and key created in the previous steps to set up Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) to be able to route push notification messages to iOS devices.

You also create a service account and associated access token to provide access to the service to your server.

Step 3. Configuring servers for push notifications

In this step, you configure your server to connect to SNS so that it can send out push notifications.

You also create an authentication journey that will register your client application as an MFA device, and send out push notifications.

Step 4. Configuring iOS apps for push notifications

In this step, you configure your application project to use Apple Push Notification service.

Step 5. Implementing the Push client for iOS

In this final step, you add the code to your application that obtains the unique device code required to ensure push notifications reach the correct device.

You also add code that leverages the Push module to handle the push registration and authentication journey you created earlier.
