We are pleased to announce that the Back4App Push Notification service for Apple devices now supports the HTTP/2 protocol and the token-based authentication mechanism. The benefits of using the new connection mechanism are:

• It is faster than the previous legacy binary protocol;
• You can use the same Key for all your Apple platforms(macOS, iOS, Apple Watch);
• You can use the same Key to send Push Notifications from multiple Apps;
• The key doesn’t expire so it’s not necessary to update it every 12 months, as certificates did;
