APNS Error Handling

[andrewkowalik]

APNService class | _write_message

Since APNS socket connection is not synchronous should we not be restarting at the device that failed based on the return message from APNS and not at the current device we are iterating over?

I might be misunderstanding how error handling happens when we call send on the APNS connection. It seems to me that since the error will lag behind our processing server side we will be catch the error on the wrong device leading to skipping a number of devices between the one that closed the connection and the one we are currently processing.

The Apple docs describe very well how errors should be handled to have robust error handling. (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2265/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40010376-CH1-TNTAG44)

Yes its a decent reference.

Unfortunately I do not think it answers my question about how this library handles errors.

Agreed. That's more a reference as to how this library should handle errors. Currently, I think the issue that you raised is valid and should be addressed.
