Today i received this email from Apple:

The PushSharp has support to this new protocol?

[martinkwok]

pushsharp has any updates about this issue yet?
or please provide alternative solution to work around it

[iamitdubey]

Is there a workaround for this issue yet?

Any updates? This library will be deprecated and unusable starting Nov 2020 (Next month).

I'm assuming most people know this already, but just commenting for any who may stumble across this in the future... :)

I haven't worked on this project, but based on the SendBatch() function in ApnsConnection.cs, the connection strings for the APNS binary protocol API in ApnsConfiguration.cs, and the lack of the Apple HTTP/2 connection strings in the project, I believe the PushSharp project only supports the binary protocol. It looks like some HTTP/2 support was starting to be added but was not completed.

As the binary protocol is being retired by Apple, I believe PushSharp will no longer work. Apple is retiring the binary protocol March 31, 2021, so transition quickly! Thankfully there are other options for C# though, like CorePush.

FYI to anybody panicking reading this, the above package CorePush is currently only working for .NET 4.7+. There is an outstanding issue so maybe it will extended to work on 4.6 but at the time of writing it does not.

As I am on .NET 4.6, I have successfully used another library dotAPNS
