How to configure Azure Notification Hub to use APNS token authentication mode?

Question

I am trying to add APNS connection in Azure Notification Hub with Token as authentication mode.

I have searched around but I am not able to find any guides anywhere to make this work.

Maybe someone has a link to a guide showing how to find the information needed?

I tried to create a "APNs Auth Key" in Apple developer console, but that gives me a .p8 file and the token inside that file does not seem to be accepted, so I guess I need to find the token somewhere else.

I hope someone have a link to a guide for setting this up and find the information needed.

Update (June 2017): There is now an official Microsoft post about Token-based (HTTP/2) Authentication for APNS.

Original answer (May 2017):

Token Based Authentication and HTTP/2 Example with APNS is a good step by step guide of how to get those values from your Apple Developer Account.

• Key ID in Azure Portal is what APNS_KEY_ID is in the sample above
• App Name in Azure Portal is your app name
• App ID in Azure Portal is what TEAM_ID is in the sample above
• Token in Azure Portal is the contents of the file referred to in APNS_AUTH_KEY variable in the sample above

Do not forget to keep track which keys and tokens are sandbox and which are production endpoint ones.
