Install this package with Composer:

composer require laravel-notification-channels/apn

Register the ServiceProvider in your config/app.php:

NotificationChannels\Apn\ApnServiceProvider::class,

Before using the APN Service, follow the Provisioning and Development guide from Apple

You will need to generate a certificate for you application, before you can use this channel. Configure the path in config/broadcasting.php

    'connections' => [
      ....
      'apn' => [
          'environment' => ApnChannel::PRODUCTION, // Or ApnChannel::SANDBOX
          'certificate' => '/path/to/certificate', 
          'pass_phrase' => null, // Optional passPhrase
      ],
      ...
    ]

You can now send messages to GCM by creating a GcmMessage:

use NotificationChannels\Apn\ApnChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Apn\ApnMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class AccountApproved extends Notification
{
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [ApnChannel::class];
    }

    public function toApnNotification($notifiable)
    {
        return ApnMessage::create()
            ->badge(1)
            ->title('Account approved')
            ->body("Your {$notifiable->service} account was approved!");
    }
}

In your notifiable model, make sure to include a routeNotificationForApn() method, which return one or an array of tokens.

public function routeNotificationForApn()
{
    return $this->apn_token;
}
