The iOS notify platform accepts the standard `title`, `message` and `target` parameters. The iOS notify platform supports targets as services. Assuming that you did not set a `name` when configuring the platform you should find all your registered and notification-enabled iOS devices available as notify targets as services with names prefixed "notify.ios_" and then the device name you entered at setup.
Notes:
* `title` only displays on Apple Watch and iOS 10 devices.
* `target` can be used to specific a single device using its PushID, found in `ios.conf`. The preferred way of providing a target is through a target specific notify service.
