Mobile App: Device token

Prev Next

A device token (or push token) is a unique key for the app-device combination issued by the Apple or Google push notification gateways. It allows gateways and push notification providers to route messages and to ensure that notifications are delivered only to the unique app-device combination for which they are intended.

  • iOS push tokens are strings with 64 hexadecimal symbols:
