A macOS and iOS application and framework for sending push notifications directly to Apple's APNs service for testing and development.
What is NWPusher?
NWPusher is an open-source macOS and iOS application and framework that allows developers to send push notifications directly to Apple's Push Notification service (APNs) for testing and development purposes. It eliminates the need for setting up a dedicated server or relying on third-party push services, providing a streamlined way to test notification delivery and troubleshoot issues. The tool includes both a GUI application for manual testing and a programmatic framework for integration into custom apps.
iOS and macOS developers who need to test, debug, or integrate Apple Push Notifications in their applications, particularly those working in environments where setting up a full push server is impractical.
Developers choose NWPusher because it offers a direct, serverless approach to sending push notifications, with detailed error reporting and certificate management tools that simplify debugging. Its modular framework and compatibility with both macOS and iOS make it versatile for various development workflows.
