Apple Safari

To send Web Push to the Safari browser, you must first set up an Apple Push Notification Service project.

caution

All actions are performed on a macOS device. An Apple Developer account is required for setup.

---

Step 1. Register Website Push ID

Go to the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles page and log in to your Apple developer account. In the left navigation panel, select Identifiers and click + next to the heading.

---

In the window that opens, select Website Push IDs. Click Continue.

---

Enter the Description and Identifier. The identifier must have the format web.com.domainname.appname. The first part is always web. It is recommended to use the reverse domain style, for example, web.org.example.push. Click Continue.

---

Register the Website Push ID by clicking Register.

---

The Website Push ID is created and registered. To view information about the identifier on the Identifiers tab, open the drop-down list in the upper right corner and select Website Push IDs.

---

Step 2. Creating a Certificate

Find the created Website Push ID in the list and click on it. Note the Identifier field — this value will be required when setting up the resource in the Altcraft Platform. Click Create Certificate.

---

To generate a certificate, you need a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file with the .certSigningRequest extension. To create it, open the Keychain Access application on your macOS. Go to Keychain Access — Certificate Assistant — Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority.

---

Fill in the certificate information and be sure to select the Saved to disk option. Click Continue — the application will prompt you to save the CSR file to the device.

---

Return to the Apple Developer website, upload the created CSR file, and click Continue.

---

Step 3. Saving the Push Certificate

Click Download to download the certificate in .cer format.

---

Find the downloaded file and double-click it to open the certificate in Keychain Access. Go to its properties.

---

Set the trust level for each parameter to Always Trust.

---

Right-click the certificate and select Export to save it in .p12 format. Enter a password for the .p12 file. Remember it — it will be required when setting up the resource in the Altcraft Platform.

---

Step 4. Setting Up in the Altcraft Platform

Return to the Altcraft Platform and open the resource settings. Go to the push channel settings. Select the Safari platform and activate the Apple Safari service.

---

Fill in the fields: Website Push ID Website Client SSL Certificate #PKCS12 (.p12) — the .p12 certificate file exported from Keychain Access Website Client SSL Certificate #PKCS12 password — the password set when exporting the .p12 file API token — the platform token from Settings — Tokens. If the token is deleted, the platform will stop accepting subscriptions from Safari for this resource Icon (.png) — the image displayed in the push notification. Recommended size: 256×256 pixels or larger. Safari supports only one image per resource.

---

Save the resource or apply changes using the buttons in the upper right corner of the screen. Only after that, go to the Installation tab. Further actions are described in detail in this section of the push configuration article.
