It manages persistent connections, error handling, and automatic retries for failed pushes, letting you send notifications to iOS, macOS, and Safari apps by providing device tokens, a notification payload, and your Apple credentials.\n\nThe package depends on httpx for HTTP/2 communication, PyJWT and cryptography for token signing, and pytz for timezone handling. It supports iOS 10+ features like collapse IDs, subtitles, and mutable notifications. However, the project is no longer maintained\u2014the last release was in June 2022 and the repository shows no activity since April 2023, so it may not reflect current Apple APNs requirements or security practices.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have a stable Python 3.6+ environment and your Apple APNs credentials are already set up\u2014the package is simple and has no known vulnerabilities. No, if you need active maintenance, security updates, or compatibility with future Apple APNs changes; consider alternatives that are actively maintained. The abandoned status and lack of recent commits mean you should verify compatibility with your current Apple Developer setup before committing to it."},"id":"pyapns-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyapns-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyapns-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyapns-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-06-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyapns-client","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Simple, flexible and fast Apple Push Notifications on iOS, OSX and Safari using the HTTP/2 Push provider API."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1038784,"position":4458,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.6"}
