Apple has recently added a new tool to App Store Connect called the Push Notification Console. This tool allows developers to quickly and easily test push notifications in their apps without having to use third-party software. 

Developers are no longer obliged to 3rd party applications. By sending notifications directly from the console, we will analyze the submission logs to learn more about how to quickly make new scenarios and what we are doing. We will also learn how to generate and authenticate tokens to authenticate with the Apple Push Notification service.
<h2>Console</h2>
It is a tool that combines features to help you integrate push notifications into our applications. Push notifications are simple, short messages sent to an application, usually to inform the user.
Your only hurdle in expanding your app&#8217;s capabilities is your imagination, because you can&#8217;t imagine how much power you can add to your app with notifications. Apple devices receive millions of notifications every second. These notifications are delivered instantly and are designed to provide users with relevant information.

Push notifications can help users open the app and keep them always up to date with our apps. Notifications can be sent as a result of getting approval from the user by saying allow notifications. If the user accepts, a Device Token is generated by the APNs and then sent to the device. This token uniquely identifies our apps on the device. The Push Notifications Console is an advanced tool that provides tools for interacting with APNs.

<h2>Delivery Log</h2>
If we are developing an app and adding push notifications to it, we need to test the notifications. The history of notifications sent from this page is stored in the left sidebar for your convenience. Sometimes we need to know whether the notifications we send have reached the user. This is possible with the Delivery Log feature.
As a notification travels through the APN stack, events are logged that reflect the notification&#8217;s delivery process. For example; the device can simulate a situation where a notification is not received by activating Low Power mode.
