Q: How do I set up iOS Push Notifications?
Mobile Hub sends push notifications to iOS apps using Apple Push Notification service (APNs). To integrate this service with Mobile Hub, you must obtain and provide a certificate for APNs. To do this, you must prepare a certificate request, and then create an app ID and associated SSL certificate on the Apple Developer website. The certificate allows the Amazon Simple Notification Service server to send push notifications to the app identified by the App ID. See: Setting up iOS Push Notification for additional details.
Q: What code and SDKs are included in the download package from the Mobile Hub?
For each project you configure with the Mobile Hub, you can download a working Quick Start app configured with examples to use the services you provisioned or a package of SDKs, libraries, and initialization code for you to include in your app, if you have one. These items can be downloaded after you have configured your features on the Build page in the Mobile Hub.
