Could you build this?
Partial The client and protocol code can be vibe-coded from existing public research, but a working APNs client depends on Apple's undocumented protocol and entitlement or certificate requirements that need reverse-engineering skill.
What it would actually take: Start from packet captures and existing open research on the APNs binary protocol, implement the TLS connection and message framing, and handle device token and certificate flows. The hard part is the undocumented and changing protocol and Apple's server-side authentication, which requires reverse-engineering and networking expertise to keep working.
