Test Notifications

Both Google Play and App Store provide a way to test the server notifications, so you can verify that your server is correctly set up to receive and handle the notifications.

Google Play

After configuring the Google Play RTDN, and deploying your server with LIAP package enabled, You can test your configuration by using the Send Test Message in the Google Play Console. If you have not configured a backend server to consume notifications, you can use the gcloud command line tool to verify the configuration. For instructions on processing messages using gcloud, see Pull the message from the subscription.

LIAP will automatically handle the test notifications and add a log entry similar to the following:

Google Play Test Notification, version: 1.0

App Store

To check the status of the test App Store server notification sent to your server. You can use the folloiwing command:

php artisan liap:apple:test-notification

If you are testing on "sandbox" environment, you need to pass the --sandbox option:

php artisan liap:apple:test-notification --sandbox

The command will request a test notification and will show you the notification token.

LIAP will automatically handle the test notifications and add a log entry similar to the following:

If you are using Notifications v1:

AppStore Test Notification

If you are using Notifications v2:

AppStoreV2NotificationHandler: Test notification received
