Open questions

General

  • Apple's docs say: "If you need to send a large number of push notifications, spread them out over connections to several different gateways." The docs only list one gateway address (gateway.push.apple.com) and that's presumably a load balancer(?), but it would be nice to confirm that's actually what's happening.
  • Are any of the "items" in the binary notification format optional? It definitely doesn't make sense to leave out a device token, payload, or sequence number, but can we leave out an expiration date or priority?
