  2. Push Notification device token from APNS auth response.

Push Notification device token from APNS auth response.

Alex Zavatone
 

Sometimes we want to get the string value of the device token after requesting push auth from APNS in didRegisterForRemoteNotificationWithDeviceToken.

Here’s how you can get that string value in Objective-C and Swift.

Cheers,
