Summary

iOS Simulator also supports push notifications. But the PushManager prevents us from registering for PushNotifications: if (AppleExtensions.IsSimulator)

API Changes

remove if (AppleExtensions.IsSimulator) in PushManager

Intended Use Case

Test push notifications on iOS simulator

The problem is that people assume push is actually working. APNS is not available on simulators, only the ability to test payloads against the app. This has been a constant source of pain to support even if I document.

You technically only need the notification permission from iOS. You can do this with an compiler ifdef yourself and ignore RequestAccess while on the simulator
