does not work with python 3.10

[uzza1hossain]

Can you provide additional context?

[samirsd]

when I try to send a push notification I get cannot import name 'Iterable' from 'collections' (/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.10/3.10.6_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/collections/__init__.py)

[samirsd]

others have commented on this issue. it seems to be related to unmaintained dependencies, specifically apns2 and hyper I believe.

Yes, concur, the incompatibility with Python 3.10 is due to the apns2 and thus hyper dependencies. May need to consider incorporating aioapns as an alternative. Thoughts?

[samirsd]

yes i’ve been using aiopns as a result of these issues actually and it has been working for me

[bradleydworak]

That’s great feedback, thank you. I’m tempted to open another Issue and propose to the group to switch to aioapns and drop apns2 if they aren’t jumping on supporting python 10 by this point in time.

@samirsd Did you encounter an issue with aioapns complaining that it is expecting an EllipticCurve PrivateKey/PublicKey pair? If so, could you tell me what you did to resolve the issue, or point me to a online reference? I have the APNS cert/key pem file already.

[samirsd]

@bradleydworak I didn't encounter that issue but I've been using it in sandbox mode

Maybe double check the steps for generating your .p8 file?

my code looks like this:

` async def send_message(device_token, message): key_path = os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, "path/to/my/AuthKey_12345ABC.p8") use_sandbox = True

apns_key_client = APNs(
    key= key_path,
    key_id=KEY_ID,
    team_id=TEAM_ID,
    topic=IOS_APP_BUNDLE_ID,  # Bundle ID
    use_sandbox=use_sandbox,
)
request = NotificationRequest(
    device_token=device_token,
    message = {
        "aps": {
            "alert": message,
            "badge": "1",
        }
    },
    notification_id=str(uuid4()),  # optional
    time_to_live=3,                # optional
    push_type=PushType.ALERT,      # optional             # optional
)
await apns_key_client.send_notification(request)

`

I did however encounter an issue where aioapns would send repeated push notifications so I just commented out the retry logic as follows: https://github.com/samirsd/aioapns/commit/f7e6081da214b426930a8a5bf8fe25a2f4433f52

[bradleydworak]

Thx for the feedback. Yes I wasn’t able to find any documentation on generating the .p8 file, and unclear if it is derived from the APNS cert/key or generated separately. Do you have a link to instructions and/or sample code on how to do this? I’m hoping to add some documentation to the aioapns Readme once I understand this better.

It has to be done from the apple developer website https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44631803/ios-swift-how-to-create-p8-file

`Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Keys > Click "+" > Check Apple Push Notifications service (APNs)

Choose a name, then register it. It will give you an option to download the p8 file.`

[bradleydworak]

Thx…finally got it working. Without any documentation it wasn’t clear that you use either the key or the cert file but not both. I’m hoping to make a pull request and forgo apns.
