Regarding the notifications, I have seen in some posts configurations using XMPP but it was declared obsolete. However I am not sure if this still works or if they are going to be dropped by Apple Calendar. Would this be a solution to notify OSX Calendar clients instead of using APN push?

Hi, I am trying to setup push notifications in CalendarServer 7 and I think I have managed to figure out how to configure the Notifications/APNS in caldavd-dev.plist; when I connect the iOS Calendar client, I can see that inside the Preferences/Accounts the setting: "Refresh Calendar: Push". Server side, I have checked and the SubscriptionURL has received a http request with the "key" and "token" parameters. But the notifications are not working between two devices (Macbook and iPhone).
I have figured out that I didn't use a correct certificate/key. However I am still confused about the following: * what is expected in the AuthorityChainPath? * how can I get the required certificates and key that would work for the calendarserver? I know that on OSX Server.app this is automated. * the push topic is the bundleID of the target app. does this mean that push notifications would work only for the OSX/iOS Calendar client?
Hi,
APNS push to iOS clients (i.e. apple's Calendar app) is supported only from iCloud or X Server, because APNS certs matching the bundle ID required by iOS client is in the apple domain, and not something a third party could request for themselves (i.e. using the certificate portal at https:// certificates.apple.com).
It is probably possible to develop your own client using some other bundle ID, following the official documentation of APNS from Apple, and use the associated APNS certs with CalendarServer.
