Apple’s push service, for reaching a koan iOS app that iOS has suspended.
A linked app is reached over its WebSocket. iOS suspends an app in the background that is not playing, and the socket dies with it; a push is the supported way back. Two kinds: a background push that wakes the app for half a minute to link and take what waits for it in the outbox, and a notification for playback, which iOS will not let a suspended app start on its own: the person taps it, the app opens and plays.
Token auth: a JWT signed with the team’s .p8 key, reused for under an
hour as Apple asks. HTTP/2, which is all the gateway speaks.
