// Package apns implements an output binding for Dapr that allows services to
// send push notifications to Apple devices and Mac computers using Apple's
// Push Notification Service (APNS).
//
// # Configuring the Binding
//
// To use the APNS output binding, you will need to create the binding
// configuration and add it to your components directory. The binding
// configuration will contain parameters that will allow the binding to
// connect to the APNS service specified as metadata.
//
// The APNS binding will need a cryptographic private key in order to generate
// authentication tokens for the APNS service. The private key can be generated
// from the Apple Developer Portal and is provided as a PKCS #8 file with the
// private key stored in PEM format. The private key should be stored in the
// Dapr secret store and not stored directly in the binding's configuration
// file.
//
// A sample configuration file for the APNS binding is shown below:
//
// apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
// kind: Component
// metadata:
// name: apns
// namespace: default
// spec:
// type: bindings.apns
// metadata:
// - name: development
// value: false
// - name: key-id
// value: PUT-KEY-ID-HERE
// - name: team-id
// value: PUT-APPLE-TEAM-ID-HERE
// - name: private-key
// secretKeyRef:
// name: apns-secrets
// key: private-key
//
// If using Kubernetes, a sample secret configuration may look like this:
//
// apiVersion: v1
// kind: Secret
// metadata:
// name: apns-secrets
// namespace: default
// stringData:
// private-key: |
// -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
// KEY-DATA-GOES-HERE
// -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
//
// The development parameter can be either "true" or "false". The development
// parameter controls which APNS service is used. If development is set to
// true, then the sandbox APNS service will be used to send push notifications
// to devices. If development is set to false, the production APNS service will
// be used to send push notifications. If not specified, the production service
// will be chosen by default.
//
// # Push Notification Format
//
// The APNS binding is a pass-through wrapper over the Apple Push Notification
// Service. The APNS binding will send the request directly to the APNS service
// without any translation. It is therefore important to understand the payload
// for push notifications expected by the APNS service. The payload format is
// documented at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/generating_a_remote_notification.
//
// Requests sent to the APNS binding should be a JSON object. A simple push
// notification appears below:
//
// {
// "aps": {
// "alert": {
// "title": "New Updates!",
// "body": "New updates are now available for your review."
// }
// }
// }
//
// The aps child object contains the push notification details that are used
// by the Apple Push Notification Service and target devices to route and show
// the push notification. Additional objects or values can be added to the push
// notification envelope for use by applications to handle the push
// notification.
//
// The APNS binding accepts several metadata values that are mapped directly
// to HTTP headers in the APNS publish request. Below is a summary of the valid
// metadata fields. For more information, please see
// https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/generating_a_remote_notification.
//
// * apns-push-type: Identifies the content of the notification payload. One of
// alert, background, voip, complication, fileprovider, mdm.
//
// * apns-id: a UUID that uniquely identifies the push notification. This value
// is returned by APNS if provided and can be used to track notifications.
//
// * apns-expiration: The date/time at which the notification is no longer
// valid and should not be delivered. This value is the number of seconds
// since the UNIX epoch (January 1, 1970 at 00:00 UTC). If not specified or
// if 0, the message is sent once immediately and then discarded.
//
// * apns-priority: If 10, the notification is sent immediately. If 5, the
// notification is sent based on power conditions of the user's device.
// Defaults to 10.
//
// * apns-topic: The topic for the notification. Typically this is the bundle
// identifier of the target app.
//
// * apns-collapse-id: A correlation identifier that will cause notifications
// to be displayed as a group on the target device. For example, multiple
// notifications from a chat room may have the same identifier causing them
// to show up together in the device's notifications list.
//
// # Sending a Push Notification Using the APNS Binding
//
// A simple request to the APNS binding looks like this:
//
// {
// "data": {
// "aps": {
// "alert": {
// "title": "New Updates!",
// "body": "New updates are available for your review."
// }
// }
// },
// "metadata": {
// "device-token": "PUT-DEVICE-TOKEN-HERE",
// "apns-push-type": "alert",
// "apns-priority": "10",
// "apns-topic": "com.example.helloworld"
// },
// "operation": "create"
// }
//
// The device-token metadata field is required and should contain the token
// for the device that will receive the push notification. Only one device
// can be specified per request to the APNS binding.
//
// The APNS binding only supports one operation: create. Specifying any other
// operation name will result in a runtime error.
//
// If the push notification is successfully sent, the response will be a JSON
// object containing the message ID. If a message ID was not specified using
// the apns-id metadata value, then the Apple Push Notification Serivce will
// generate a unique ID and will return it.
//
// {
// "messageID": "12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890AB"
// }
//
// If the push notification could not be sent due to an authentication error
// or payload error, the error code returned by Apple will be returned. For
// a list of error codes and their meanings, see
// https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/handling_notification_responses_from_apns.
