Push Installation API

The Push Installation API provides endpoints to register and unregister the tokens that enable mobile devices to receive push notifications from an application.

A push notification is a text message that appears on a user's mobile device to alert them about something important or to ask them to perform an action.

When creating custom mobile applications, in order to set up Push notifications, you must register the device with the manufacturer’s service. The service must know the address of a user's device so it can properly send notifications to that device using push tokens. The device also needs to be able to receive the notifications and act on them. For instructions on how to register a device and get a push token, refer to the device’s operating systems developer documentation. For example, for Apple devices, refer to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/registering_your_app_with_apns.
