To send push notifications from the terminal with lola you need to use the following parameters:

• bundleId - bundle the ID of your app

• device - device token or the device you want to send the notification to

• teamId - Apple Developer Team ID, you can find it in your Account -> Membership -> Team ID

• authKey - Name of your p8 file created in Apple Keys

• notificationType - This parameter is optional, when is not set payload will be sent with default value alert. Can be one of 6 values alert, background, VOIP, complication, fileprovider, mdm

• json - JSON payload of your notification. Either json or message value has to be specified.

• message - The notification will be sent as an alert with the provided text. This is a convenient option instead of providigin the full json payload.

Example usage (with message):

$ lola  \
-bundleId co.industrial-binaries.LolaTestApp  \
-device d9f1767bdbf0371f5efb25c7873f1942cf570ececde9896913ed9fdb33ac1c26  \
-teamId 9Q6922742Y \
-authKey AuthKey_JP8Z7XXKD9.p8  \
-message "Hi from lola 👋"

Example usage (with json):

$ lola  \
-bundleId co.industrial-binaries.LolaTestApp  \
-device d9f1767bdbf0371f5efb25c7873f1942cf570ececde9896913ed9fdb33ac1c26  \
-teamId 9Q6922742Y \
-authKey AuthKey_JP8Z7XXKD9.p8  \
-notificationType alert \
-json "{ \"aps\": {\"alert\": \"Hi from lola 👋\", \"sound\": \"default\" }}"

As a Framework

1. Get the authorization token from your P8 file using P8Parser:

let parser = try P8Parser(
  p8: /** Key of your P8 **/,
  teamID: /** Team ID of your Apple Developer account **/
)
let authorizationToken = try parser.generateToken()

2. Create a new instance of Lola:

let configuration = AppConfiguration(
  deviceToken: /** Your app Push token **/,
  authorizationToken: /** Token from your P8 key **/,
  bundleId: /** Bundle-id of your app **/
)

let lola = Lola(configuration: configuration)

3. Use lola to send notifications by providing a JSON payload:

lola.send(
  payload: /** Notification payload - JSON in string **/,
  type: /** Notification type **/,
  completion: /** Your completion block **/
)

... or just a simple message:

lola.send(
  message: /** Notification message - notification description **/,
  completion: /** Your completion block **/
)
