[](#fastapns----)

This library will send push notifications to Apple as fast as possible, and report any bad tokens.

Inspired by this StackOverflow post:

... and careful reading of 'Troubleshooting Push Notifications' here:

[https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2265/\_index.html#//apple\_ref/doc/uid/DTS40010376-CH1-TNTAG44](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2265/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40010376-CH1-TNTAG44)

Example Usage:

```
$payload = array(
    'aps' => array(
        'alert' => 'some alert',
    ),
);

$tokens = array(
    'ca360e9029938b9ed8ed435640f3760620526bd72037017d3c50cfa264b7914f',
    'ca360e9029938b9ed8ed435640f3760620526bd72037017d3c50cfa264b79150',
    'ca360e9029938b9ed8ed435640f3760620526bd72037017d3c50cfa264b79151',
    'ca360e9029938b9ed8ed435640f3760620526bd72037017d3c50cfa264b79152',
    'ca360e9029938b9ed8ed435640f3760620526bd72037017d3c50cfa264b79153',
);

$expiry = (new \DateTime('+24 hours'))->getTimestamp();

$client = FastAPNS\ClientBuilder::create()
    ->setLocalCert(__DIR__ . '/ssl/MyAppCertificate.includesprivatekey.pem')
    ->setPassphrase('p@ssword')
    ->build();

$client->send($payload, $tokens, $expiry);

var_dump($client->getBadTokens());
```

Ensure that your APNS certificate is encoded in PEM format and includes the private key. This file should be set to mode 0400.
