An Objective-C library that extends UIApplication to receive mock remote notifications on the iOS simulator via a mini UDP server. It includes a macOS companion app for sending JSON-formatted notification payloads without using Apple's Push Notification service.

Use cases

• test push notification handling in the iOS simulator
• send mock remote notifications without APNs
• debug didReceiveRemoteNotification delegate callbacks locally
• simulate background push notifications during development
• trigger remote notification payloads via UDP from scripts

When to choose

• you need to test remote notification code paths in the iOS simulator where APNs is unavailable
• you want a lightweight local way to trigger push notification callbacks during development

When to avoid

• you need to send real push notifications to physical devices
• you need a maintained solution for modern iOS versions or Swift-based projects
• you require end-to-end testing against the actual Apple Push Notification service
