DESCRIPTION

Net::AppNotifications is a wrapper around appnotifications.com. It allows you to push notifications to your iPhone(s) registered with the service.

A visual and audible alert (like for SMS) will arrive on your device in a limited timeframe.

appnotifications allows you to tweak different aspect of the notification received:

  • the message

  • the sound played, if any

  • the title of the accept button of the notification

  • what happens once accepted

  • ... more, see the SYNOPSIS

If you already have an APNS key, I recommend using AnyEvent::APNS, directly.
