How To Test Remote Push Notifications With iOS Simulators

Developers can create and send user notifications in iOS apps either locally or remotely through Apple's Push Notification Service (APNs). While setting up remote push notifications for a production app involves server communication with APNs, developers can use the iOS simulator to emulate and debug these notifications without needing APNs or a server. This involves configuring push notifications using SwiftUI and Xcode, creating a notification payload with JSON, and testing notifications through the simulator and command line. Notifications can be either alert or silent, with alert notifications being visible to users and supporting interactivity, while silent notifications refresh the app in the background. The tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on setting up these notifications, including customizing the notification's content and sound, and sending notifications via command line tools.
