macOS Push Service Introduction

Pushing messages on macOS involves three roles: client app, APNs (Apple Push Notification service), and TPNS server (XG Provider). All three roles needs to work together to successfully push messages to the client. If an issue occurs with any one of the roles, the push process could fail.

TPNS platform currently only supports APNs for push messages targeting macOS devices. It does not currently support in-app message delivery.
