Send Notification to ios app bundle id using FCM

Question

I am building an api to upload video on youtube channel. One of the requirement is that whenever a video is uploaded successfully to youtube server a notification must be sent to the ios app bundle id using Firebase Cloud Messaging. I have registered my application in fcm console with bundle id com.tbox.ygtp I have tried to google on how to send notification to the ios app and i found following API

 $url = 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send';
    $server_key = 'AAAAylThdyA:APA91bGISSU********VTqHJqBnV81B3jfJzAice07E********HHLXTVylMU1OWSHvdyoZMVNlM8t9p9tXH_4OKm********fEOatp_alw9qMlQNT507lLWLt1N_FMHel1JCCWcuQjD';

    $fields = array();
    //$fields['data'] = $data;
    $fields['notification'] = array('body'=>$data);
    if(is_array($target)){
        $fields['registration_ids'] = $target;
    }else{
        $fields['to'] = $target;
    }
    //header with content_type and api key
    $headers = array(
        'Content-Type:application/json',
      'Authorization:key='.$server_key
    );

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    if ($result === FALSE) {
        die('FCM Send Error: ' . curl_error($ch));
    }
    curl_close($ch);

    return $result;

This Api sends notification to device tokens. But I need the notification to be sent on application bundle id. Can someone guide me through how to send the notification to application bundle id using FCM.

There is currently no API or parameter you could use to send a message only to a specific bundle id. This option is only available when sending the message through Firebase Notifications Console.

As a workaround, you could make use of Topic Messaging, by subscribing the users to the topic (where you could name as your bundle id, or a simpler alias), then simply use the topic name to send a message to the users.

Also see my answer to a similar question for Android yesterday: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44364394/how-to-send-firebase-message-to-specific-application-in-project/44364798#44364798 – Frank van Puffelen Jun 06 '17 at 08:03
Thanks Puf. Would it be preferable to have this duplicated (since the idea is pretty much the same)? – AL. Jun 06 '17 at 08:07

I think it's fine to keep the answer separate. I just wanted to link them, since as you said the solution is similar. – Frank van Puffelen Jun 06 '17 at 08:16
