A Golang package for easily sending Apple Push Notifications.

Go APNs

NOTICE: This is a major work in progress. The API will be changing, and I have not finished implementing all the features. I do not recommend using this for production yet.

A Golang package for easily connecting and sending notifications to the Apple Push Notification Service. We abstract all the quirks and difficulties of the APNs so that you can focus on your application.

Features

• Uses a queue system instead of timeouts. Your notifications are delivered without sacrificing any speed.
• Accepts certificates from a string or file path. This allows you to store your certificates anywhere you want—in a database, environmental variable, or on disk.
• Simplifies creating the notification payload. You can start focusing on what you need your notifications to do instead of Apple's API.
• Creates a persistent connection to Apple's server. Recommended by Apple. This allows you to send notifications faster by avoiding multiple costly SSL handshakes.
