Push Service Overview

Pushing messages to macOS devices involves client application, APNs (Apple Push Notification service), and TPNS server (XG Provider). They need to collaborate throughout the entire process to successfully push messages to the client. An exception from any of them can lead to a push message delivery failure.

To push messages to macOS devices, TPNS only uses the APNs channel. It currently does not support message delivery via specific in-app channels.

Overview of main features

The SDK for macOS provided by TPNS includes APIs for you to implement client-side message push services. It is mainly used for:

• Automatically obtaining and registering the device token to facilitate integration;
• Binding account, tag, and device, so you can push messages to specific user groups and have more push methods;
• Reporting the number of clicks, i.e., how many times users click a message;
