The macOS Push Tester App

The macOS Push Tester App allows you to send push notifications through APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) and receive them on a device.

It can also get device tokens from any iPhone on the same wifi network.

Make your iOS app discoverable by the macOS Push Tester App

1. Add this class to your iOS app

import Foundation
import MultipeerConnectivity

public final class DeviceAdvertiser: NSObject {
    private var nearbyServiceAdvertiser: MCNearbyServiceAdvertiser?
    private let serviceType: String
    
    public init(serviceType: String) {
        self.serviceType = serviceType
        super.init()
    }

    public func setDeviceToken(_ deviceToken: String) {
        if let advertiser = nearbyServiceAdvertiser {
            advertiser.stopAdvertisingPeer()
        }

        let peerID = MCPeerID(displayName: UIDevice.current.name)
        
        nearbyServiceAdvertiser = MCNearbyServiceAdvertiser(
            peer: peerID,
            discoveryInfo: ["token": deviceToken, "appID": Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier ?? ""],
            serviceType: serviceType
        )
        
        nearbyServiceAdvertiser?.delegate = self
        nearbyServiceAdvertiser?.startAdvertisingPeer()
    }
}

extension DeviceAdvertiser: MCNearbyServiceAdvertiserDelegate {
    public func advertiser(_ advertiser: MCNearbyServiceAdvertiser, 
                            didReceiveInvitationFromPeer peerID: MCPeerID, 
                            withContext context: Data?, 
                            invitationHandler: @escaping (Bool, MCSession?) -> Void) {
        invitationHandler(false, MCSession())
    }
}

1. Instantiate DeviceAdvertiser

let deviceAdvertiser = DeviceAdvertiser(serviceType: "pusher")

1. Set the device token

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
    deviceAdvertiser.setDeviceToken(deviceToken.hexadecimal)
}

1. Add this Data extension to convert deviceToken to String

import Foundation

extension Data {
    var hexadecimal: String {
        map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
    }
}

1. Add the following to your targets info.plist (required for iOS 14 and above)

<key>NSBonjourServices</key>
<array>
	<string>_pusher._tcp</string>
	<string>_pusher._udp</string>
</array>
<key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key>
<string>To allow Pusher App to discover this device on the network.</string>
