# Apple Push Notification Channel
Sends push notifications to iOS apps through Apple Push Notification service with token-based .p8 auth.
Use when the app must push order or account updates to your own iOS app and you have an APNs key, Team ID and bundle ID.
When not to use it: For apps built with Expo use channel-expo. For Android devices use channel-fcm.

Built for 0.8 and 0.9 (peers of 0.8.0 and 0.9.0). A declaration, not a test.

## What it adds (read statically from the published code)
Few contracts. This package mostly plugs into an existing host module.
- Tables (0): none
- API routes: 0 (0 public)
- Permissions to grant (2): channel_apns.view, channel_apns.configure
- Events emitted (0): none
- Settings needed (names only): p8Key (secret), keyId (text), teamId (text), bundleId (text), production (boolean, optional)
- Talks to: no URL in the code; Apple Push Notification service through its SDK (@parse/node-apn)
- Replaces or conflicts: none

## Install plan (0.9)
Nothing to install: a new app already registers channel_apns in src/modules.ts. In an app from the empty preset: yarn mercato module add @open-mercato/channel-apns@0.9.0

Agent policy (0.9): ask. Not yet tested in a new app on 0.9. Nothing to install: a new app already registers channel_apns in src/modules.ts.
