For testing, I'm trying to "manually" send a push notification to my app using Apple's tool at https://icloud.developer.apple.com/dashboard/notifications/ ... , and I can't figure out where to get the required device token without writing a program to do so. Is there somewhere in Xcode or on https://developer.apple.com where I can copy it from? I already have the .p8 file with APNs enabled, and have set the "remote notifications" capability for the app in Xcode.

I must be missing something obvious. I've read a bunch of search results and all they cover is how to get the token programmatically. The device token must be available somewhere, right?

You can't. Tokens are created per app per device when the app calls registerForRemoteNotifications()

I don't understand why "writing a program to do so" is a big deal, as you say you already have an app to send notifications to.

So, you need to implement push notifications in your app as shown in the sample project.

Seriously? I've already implemented push notifications in my app and my app server, and the didReceiveNotificationRemote() (?) is never called. I was hoping to use the Push Notification Console to help debug it. I've made a simple test app, and I don't want to write a test server too. Also, I'm not using Objective C for my app.

I think the PN Console would be a lot more useful if it had at least a way to manually create a device token.
