+# Testing Push Notifications on iOS Simulator
+
+For documentation on testing push notifications on Android or a real
+iOS device, see https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/blob/main/docs/howto/push-notifications.md
+
+This doc describes how to test client-side changes on iOS Simulator.
+It will demonstrate how to use APNs payloads the server sends to
+the Apple Push Notification service to show notifications on iOS
+Simulator.
+
+
+### Contents
+
+* [Trigger a notification on the iOS Simulator](#trigger-notification)
+* [Canned APNs payloads](#canned-payloads)
+* [Produce sample APNs payloads](#produce-payload)
+
+
+<div id="trigger-notification" />
+
+## Trigger a notification on the iOS Simulator
+
+The iOS Simulator permits delivering a notification payload
+artificially, as if APNs had delivered it to the device,
+but without actually involving APNs or any other server.
+
+As input for this operation, you'll need an APNs payload,
+i.e. a JSON blob representing what APNs might deliver to the app
+for a notification.
+
+To get an APNs payload, you can generate one from a Zulip dev server
+by following the [instructions in a section below](#produce-payload),
+or you can use one of the payloads included
+in this document [below](#canned-payloads).
+
+
+### 1. Determine the device ID of the iOS Simulator
+
+To receive a notification on the iOS Simulator, we need to first
+determine the device ID of the iOS Simulator, to specify which
+Simulator instance we want to push the payload to.
+
+```shell-session
+$ xcrun simctl list devices booted
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>Example output:</summary>
+
+```shell-session
+$ xcrun simctl list devices booted
+== Devices ==
+-- iOS 18.3 --
+    iPhone 16 Pro (90CC33B2-679B-4053-B380-7B986A29F28C) (Booted)
+```
+
+</details>
+
+
+### 2. Trigger a notification by pushing the payload to the iOS Simulator
+
+By running the following command with a valid APNs payload, you should
+receive a notification on the iOS Simulator for the zulip-flutter app.
+Tapping on the notification should route to the respective conversation.
+
+```shell-session
+$ xcrun simctl push [device-id] com.zulip.flutter [payload json path]
+```
+
+<details>
+<summary>Example output:</summary>
+
+```shell-session
+$ xcrun simctl push 90CC33B2-679B-4053-B380-7B986A29F28C com.zulip.flutter ./dm.json
+Notification sent to 'com.zulip.flutter'
+```
+
+</details>
+
+
+<div id="canned-payloads" />
+
+## Canned APNs payloads
+
+The following pre-canned APNs payloads can be used in case you don't
+have one.
+
+These canned payloads were generated from
+Zulip Server 11.0-dev+git 8fd04b0f0, API Feature Level 377,
+in April 2025.
+The `user_id` is that of `iago@zulip.com` in the Zulip dev environment.
+
+These canned payloads assume that EXTERNAL_HOST has its default value
+for the dev server. If you've
+[set EXTERNAL_HOST to use an IP address](https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/blob/main/docs/howto/dev-server.md#4-set-external_host)
+in order to enable your device to connect to the dev server, you'll
+need to adjust the `realm_url` fields. You can do this by a
+find-and-replace for `localhost`; for example,
+`perl -i -0pe s/localhost/10.0.2.2/g tmp/*.json` after saving the
+canned payloads to files `tmp/*.json`.

+
+## Produce sample APNs payloads
+
+### 1. Set up dev server
+
+To set up and run the dev server on the same Mac machine that hosts
+the iOS Simulator, follow Zulip's
+[standard instructions](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/setup-recommended.html)
+for setting up a dev server.
+
+If you want to run the dev server on a different machine than the Mac
+host, you'll need to follow extra steps
+[documented here](https://github.com/zulip/zulip-mobile/blob/main/docs/howto/dev-server.md)
+to make it possible for the app running on the iOS Simulator to
+connect to the dev server.
+
+
+### 2. Set up the dev user to receive mobile notifications.
+
+We'll use the devlogin user `iago@zulip.com` to test notifications.
+Log in to that user by going to `/devlogin` on that server on Web.
+
+Then follow the steps [here](https://zulip.com/help/mobile-notifications)
+to enable Mobile Notifications for "Channels".
+
+
+### 3. Log in as the dev user on zulip-flutter.
+
+<!-- TODO(#405) Guide to use the new devlogin page instead -->
+
+To log in as this user in the Flutter app, you'll need the password
+that was generated by the development server. You can print the
+password by running this command inside your `vagrant ssh` shell:
+```
+$ ./manage.py print_initial_password iago@zulip.com
+```
+
+Then run the app on the iOS Simulator, accept the permission to
+receive push notifications, and then log in as the dev user
+(`iago@zulip.com`).
+
+
+### 4. Edit the server code to log the notification payload.
+
+We need to retrieve the APNs payload the server generates and sends
+to the bouncer. To do that we can add a log statement after the
+server completes generating the payload in `zerver/lib/push_notifications.py`:
+
+```diff
+     apns_payload = get_message_payload_apns(
+         user_profile,
+         message,
+         trigger,
+         mentioned_user_group_id,
+         mentioned_user_group_name,
+         can_access_sender,
+     )
+     gcm_payload, gcm_options = get_message_payload_gcm(
+         user_profile, message, mentioned_user_group_id, mentioned_user_group_name, can_access_sender
+     )
+     logger.info("Sending push notifications to mobile clients for user %s", user_profile_id)
++    logger.info("APNS payload %s", orjson.dumps(apns_payload).decode())
+
+     android_devices = list(
+         PushDeviceToken.objects.filter(user=user_profile, kind=PushDeviceToken.FCM).order_by("id")
+```
+
+
+### 5. Send messages to the dev user
+
+To generate notifications to the dev user `iago@zulip.com` we need to
+send messages from another user. For a variety of different types of
+payloads try sending a message in a topic, a message in a group DM,
+and one in one-one DM. Then look for the payloads in the server logs
+by searching for "APNS payload".
+
+
+### 6. Transform and save the payload to a file
+
+The payload JSON recorded in the steps above is in the form the
+Zulip server sends to the bouncer.  The bouncer restructures this
+slightly to produce the actual payload which it sends to APNs,
+and which APNs delivers to the app on the device.
+To apply the same restructuring, run the payload through
+the following `jq` command:
+
+```shell-session
+$ echo '{"alert":{"title": ...' \
+    | jq '{aps: {alert, sound, badge}, zulip: .custom.zulip}' \
+    > payload.json
+```
