### notify.apns_NOTIFIER_NAME
### {% linkable_title notify.apns_NOTIFIER_NAME %}
This service will register device IDs with Home Assistant. In order to receive a notification a device must be registered. The app on the device can use this service to send an ID to Home Assistant during startup, the ID will be stored in `[NOTIFIER_NAME]_apns.yaml`.
See `didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken` in the [Apple developer documentation](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegate_Protocol/#//apple_ref/occ/intfm/UIApplicationDelegate/application:didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:) for more information about how to obtain a device ID.
