Discussion

When you send this message, the device initiates the registration process with Apple Push Notification Service. If it succeeds, the app delegate receives a device token in the application(_:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:) method; if registration doesn’t succeed, the delegate is informed via the application(_:didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:) method. If the app delegate receives a device token, it should connect with its provider and pass it the token.
