I am trying to send push messages to APNS. I am able to register, subscribe and send events to pushd correctly, but apple doesn't appear to be sending any messages to the devices

How can I debug further?

Are you in dev mode ?

HardlyMirage commented 11 years ago

By dev mode, do you mean using the sandbox url? I don't see any documentation on dev mode.

rs commented 11 years ago

Yes, I mean using the sandbox URL.

HardlyMirage commented 11 years ago

Yes, I am using it - but how would that help me? I do a strace on the process and see that it has established a connection to the sandbox server, but not sure if it's actually sending the data, or if there's a cert issue. How can I find out?

We have a logging branch that has a bit more verbose logging at https://github.com/futurice/pushd/tree/logging so you can at least confirm that the messages are going through. You just need to add exports['loglevel'] = 'silly' to your settings.coffee file. But even without it you should see an error message if the messages are not going through to the Apple servers.

Common problems with iOS push notifications:

Cert issue is not very likely in case you have converted it with the instructions provided, but have to be careful not to mix up production certificate and sandbox certificate.

Forgot to add, if you really need detailed debug log from apn, try the following

npm install
cd node_modules/apn/
npm install debug
cd ../..
export DEBUG=apn

And then start pushd normally. This should give you debug log like:
