Good Afternoon,
I am attempting to create a socket program which connects to Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) and sends a push notification.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with the actual writing of the APNS notification.
Below you can see my program which I used Scott Klement's Socket Programming tutorial to help me with.
The code that is probably relevant to all of this is marked as 'APNS Notification Format Begin', 'Initialize', and 'Formulate message to APNS' in comments although I included the entire program for reference.
I have read the Provider Requirements on Apple's site Provider Requirements but I am still having trouble getting everything working.
My program compiles and when I debug it / run through the steps I get past establishing an actual connection so I 'think' that this part is OK.
What I am hoping is to get back an error identifier from Apple in the variable errid within the item3 data structure. Apple states in the Provider Requirements that they return a status code if there is an error but that particular variable remains at 1077952576
There are also quite a few other things that I am unsure of
1) I have been given the device token as a Base64 string. The string is 40 some odd characters long but from what I understand, Apple states device token length should be 32 bytes. In RPGLE doesn't 1 character represent 1 byte? If that's the case then I couldn't just declare my variable token as
D token 32a
because it would get cut off?
2) Is anyone able to tell me what I am doing wrong when it comes back to receiving a proper error identifier from Apple in my variable errid?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
