## What it is
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
