Sending all users push notification in ios - ios

I want to send push notification to all users who is installed my iOS app. Can you tell me the best and easy process for this?I want to send push without storing or using any specific device token. It will work for all users. I'm using FCM for this but for user segment i don't get push notification. For single device by given fcm token it's working fine.

If you want to send push notification manually to everyone who has your app installed already you should use Firebase cloud messaging.

Can I read others push notifications on iOS?

The main tread here, but is from 6 years ago (How can I read push notification from other apps?)
I'm making an app and I was thinking if is possible to read all of the push notification the device and get their data. (push notifications of others apps)
I know it is possible on Android. Is there any update for iOS?
TL;DR. No
APNs delivers remote notifications based on a token, generated by an app. The token at each moment of time is unique to the app instance, installed at the specific device. Only the app instance associated with the token is delivered with corresponding remote notifications.

How to register iOS device for receiving push notification?

I want to register iOS device to APNs. I know two methods
Sending device token to our own provider
Using Push Tester application**
But I am not comfortable to use both of this methods.
Problem while using first method:
Our Api request requires the parameters which i won't be able to provide in my own project
Problem while using second method:
They ask to provide key, .p8 file and all those details.
I can't give any of these confidential information to unknown application.
Now my question is, is there any way to send only device token to APNs directly or any other way?
You can visit this links:
https://pushtry.com/
https://github.com/noodlewerk/NWPusher
http://pushmebaby.herokuapp.com/
and also use mac tool like:
apns-tool
To test your push notifications are working fine or not.
https://www.apnstester.com
You can visit this website and enter the details, here you get a notification on your device if your push notifications are working. Using this will not share any of the details with anyone. So it’s safe here to test notifications on your live app.
Second Method: To register your live app on Push notifications
You need to create a .pem file and share it with the backend to implement push notifications in your live app.

GCM in iOS - clarification

Just wanted to conform if my understanding is correct. As per my understanding, the mechanism involved in delivering the push notification to iOS App is Server -> GCM -> APNS -> iOS App. I am an iOS developer and I know that Apple strictly never allows a server other than APNS server to send a remote notification to iOS App. So, just wanted to know whether the notification is directly pushed to the iOS App from GCM or, via APNS.
Push messages are always sent by APNS.
What services like Google Cloud Messaging or Parse.com do is facilitating the administration of push messages - eg enabling an app to switch pushon or off for an app, or group users so you can send push messages to certain user groups instead of all of them.
GCM is not involved in Push Notification in iOS.
It is carried out through APNS.
Please refer
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Chapters/ApplePushService.html
It will clear all your doubts.
Everything will be clear if you just look at image:
Its showing complete APNS process. This is the process for iOS, no GCM included for iOS.

Receive push notifications from APNS to Titanium (iOS) App without using Appcelerator Cloudpush (ACS)?

I'm now responsible for a initial release of an app for iOS and Android. The developer that started the work has left the company and we are left with an incomplete Titanium application to finish.
Once this app is finished we do not plan to continue using Titanium.
We need to add push notifications to this app.
We have enabled Android push notifications using the standard GCM push servers using http://iamyellow.net/post/40100981563/gcm-appcelerator-titanium-module or https://marketplace.appcelerator.com/apps/5165#!overview
Does anyone know of a guide to use APNS that connects directly to the Apple servers and does not require sending the notification payload via ACS?
Thanks
The first step is to get the device token from apple to do this you have to register for Push notifications, you will find it in detail here
The process that follows is saving the token to your database and using it to send Push notifications, this blog explains it best.
Hope it helps.

Apple push notification Vs. Parse

i have an app and i'm thinking about implementing push notifications in it. however, i want to use remote notifications. i've tried Parse's push notification service and it's great and works well. You can type any text you want to inform your users about and just press send in order to be delivered to all your App users. On the other hand, i don't know if Apple has any such service that can facilitate the process of sending remote notifications. so which is better to stick to, Apple or Parse? and can i have the same service as Parse from Apple?
Yes, you can get the same services as Parse. You have to build your own server that will talk with Apple APNS. Just for example sending a push notification from your own server without using parse is here.
I didn't understand what are you trying to ask.
You can use Apple push notification service for sending remote content. With Any content related to your App.
Check RemoteNotifications for details. Parse is also using the Apple's push notification service.
Edit: For implementing your own servers for push notification check this tutorial : Push Notification Services
