  • Enter a name for the key, then enable “Apple Push Notifications service (APNs).”
  • Click “Continue” and then “Register” to create the key.

  • Download the Private Key: Once the key is created, download the .p8 file containing the APNs private key and keep note of the Key ID shown. You will also need your Team ID, which is found in the “Membership” section of the Apple Developer portal.

After obtaining the .p8 private key file for APNs, save it to your Ant Media Server:

  1. Open the Management Panel: Log in to the Ant Media Server management console.
  2. Select an Application: Choose the application where you want to enable push notifications.
  3. Access Application-Level Settings: Go to the “Push Notification” section under application settings.
  4. Upload the .p8 File: In the APNs section, upload the .p8 file and provide the Key ID, Team ID, and Bundle ID of your iOS app to enable push notifications via APNs.

To protect the send push notification WebSocket message, you need to generate two subscriber authentication tokens with the sender’s Subscriber ID and the receiver’s Subscriber ID. You can call the getSubscriberAuthenticationToken Rest API endpoint.

curl -X 'GET' 'https://your-antmedia-server-address:5080/WebRTCAppEE/rest/v2/push-notification/subscriber-auth-token?subscriberId=<your-subscriber-id>'

We will call the sender’s token as authToken in the rest of the documentation. We will call the sender’s Subscriber ID as subscriberId and we will call the receiver’s Subscriber ID as sendNotificationToSubscriber.
