VoIP push notifications on FreePBX

Question

We are using FreePBX as a server for VoIP, and looking for a way to implement APNS voip push notifications. FreePBX allows loading of PHP modules in the following format: https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/FOP/FreePBX+Development

I have found some PHP sample code for APNS push notifications (including some on SO at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14563097/sending-multiple-iphone-push-notifications-apns-php-tutorial), but no already completed modules for FreePBX (free or at a cost).

It appears that a StackOverflow user maybe created such a module here: Asterisk / FreePBX - Perform action when receiving a call but I don't have any way to ask for details since I am a new user here.

Not being a PHP developer or a FreePBX configuration expert, I was just wondering if anybody done such a module before, or knew where to find one?

Answer 1

I am not sure, but yes something is help full for you.

• You should not use APNS
• You must use Push kit silent notification
• Using Pushkit payload you can schedule local notification and achieve your task
• Some PHP code and creating certificate process is as below.

---

$ openssl x509 -in aps_development.cer -inform der -out PushCert.pem

// Convert .p12 to .pem. Enter your pass pharse which is the same pwd that you have given while creating the .p12 certificate. PEM pass phrase also same as .p12 cert.  
$ openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out PushKey1.pem -in pushkey.p12

Enter Import Password:

MAC verified OK

Enter PEM pass phrase:

Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase:

// To remove passpharse for the key to access globally. This only solved my stream_socket_client() & certificate capath warnings.
$ openssl rsa -in PushKey1.pem -out PushKey1_Rmv.pem

Enter pass phrase for PushChatKey1.pem:

writing RSA key

// To join the two .pem file into one file:
$ cat PushCert.pem PushKey1_Rmv.pem > ApnsDev.pem
