ios - Size of iPhone device token

Question

What is the size of the device token generated by APNs (Apple Push Notification). I am trying to store device tokens on the server side in a mysql database, and would like to know maximum size of device tokens generated

Answer 1

You get told but it's currently 32 bytes. Apple says the token length is variable and to not hard code it

When you get a notification it has a header, currently 35 bytes in size. This is arranged as follows:

• Byte 1: Command
• Byte 2-3: Token length
• Bytes 4-35: Token
