APNS access

Hello, am trying to figure out how to send a push notification to my iOS app from my web app. Just found https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/1781/ . Just want to confirm before I go ahead:

  • so if I purchase the Hacker plan ($5 a month) I will be able to connect to APNS?
  • Once I purchase the plan, is there any other setting I need to change to connect to APNS?
  • will the SSL that comes with pythonanywhere for my subdomain work for generating the CSR I need to set up the certificate with APNS?

Thank you.

You should be able to connect to APNS fine from a paid account. You will not need to change anything, just make sure you use a new console created after you upgraded and that you restart your web app and tasks. We do not generate CSRs for certificates. If you need a custom certificate, you will need to generate the CSR yourself.

Thank you so much! I purchased the Hacker plan, and didn't have to do anything else, sending a notification to APNS works great now.

Glad to hear it!
