How can I send push notification to multiple devices in one go in iPhone?

Question

I want to send same messages to all devices who are registered with application but how can send them without making multiple connections...

My current PHP code:

Answer 1

You can use one connection to send multiple messages, so you don't need to open multiple connections. You can't use one message for multiple devices.

Answer 2

Bottom line, you can't. You need to send a message to each token.

Its not working like a email where you can have multiple recipients.

Once the connection is open you can send a bunch of messages, thats also the preferred way (based on Apples SDK).

from the SDK:

You should also retain connections with APNs across multiple notifications. APNs may consider connections that are rapidly and repeatedly established and torn down as a denial-of-service attack. Upon error, APNs closes the connection on which the error occurred.
