Create a Connected App for Apple iOS

To create a connected app, log in to your Salesforce Developer Edition org and perform these steps.

  1. From Setup, enter Apps in the Quick Find box, then select Apps.
  2. In the Connected Apps section, click either Edit next to an existing connected app, or New to create a new connected app.
  3. If you’re creating a new connected app:
    1. Enter a unique name for your connected app. The API name field is auto-filled.
    2. Optionally, fill in other fields, such as a description for your connected app.
    3. Enter a contact email address.
    4. In the OAuth Settings section, select Enable OAuth Settings.
    5. Enter a callback URL.
    6. Select OAuth scopes. At a minimum, select Access and manage your data (api) and Perform requests on your behalf at any time (refresh_token).
  4. Under Mobile App Settings, select Push Messaging Enabled.
  5. For Platform, select Apple.
    When you select the Apple option, the dialog expands to show more settings.

    You can use authentication tokens, push certificates, or both. If a token is provided, Salesforce always uses the token. We also use Application Bundle ID when it is provided. We recommend using Application Bundle ID to avoid problems with your push notification settings.
