I have a Rails application that has been successfully creating and updating apple wallet passes using the old apple push notification service with the grocer gem. The old apple push service is going away in a couple of weeks and I'm having trouble getting the new http/2 service to work.
I have created a new key to use and everything seems to work - but I'm not getting update requests on the server. The code is like this:
connection = Apnotic::Connection.new(
auth_method: :token,
cert_path: 'apple_key.p8',
key_id: apple_key_id,
team_id: apple_team_id
)
token = device_push_token
notification = Apnotic::Notification.new(token)
notification.topic = 'com.mccc.buspass'
notification.content_available = true
response = connection.push(notification)
This actually gets a 200 response from Apple, so it looks like everything is working. But my phone doesn't try to do the update.
Does anybody have any experience? The Apple documentation is really lacking. Thanks!

MB says no, but GrapheneOS chat room says yes. Who's right, or are there conditions under which both are right?
So I just got this email from Apple.
On March 29, 2021, token and certificate-based HTTP/2 connections to the Apple Push Notification service must incorporate the new root certificate (AAACertificateServices 5/12/2020) which replaces the old GeoTrust Global CA root certificate. To ensure a seamless transition and to avoid push notification delivery failures, verify that both the old and new root certificates for the HTTP/2 interface are included in the Trust Store of each of your notification servers before March 29.
Note that Apple Push Notification service SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple do not need be to updated at this time.

What does this mean?? Can anyone explain it in regular English?
Which notification service is best , firebase or one signal
For small startup which would be should be best?
And in terms of pricing too , firebase say that FCM is free to use unlimited ( may be not ) on the other side onesignal provide 10k frees push notifications then 3$ per 1k , any advice which to choose?
Last night I was setting up a PHP web service to send Push Notifications to my iPhone application. Currently I am able to send push notifications via HTTP using the development certificate, but will it still work after it is put into app store? Is SSL mandatory for the production certificate?
How can I send notifications from the client side like FCM ? I want to build my application for both iOS & Android.
I tried and tried wrapping my head around FCM but it never worked and I just have failed and failed. I hate FCM and all of those protocols, but I desperately need them for push notifications. What are my options for this? Something that abstracts away the communication and just requires me to send some requests to the app.
To send to your phone or watch, just use your phone number like so:
osascript -e 'tell application "Messages" to send "A test message" to buddy "5555551234"'Since appdb will stop supporting push notifications
(and had a price increase), I'm looking for a new
service.
I don't have a lot of requirements, but they should
support push notifications and let me sign my own
ipa files. Oh, and replacements in case you are
revoked. :)
