Can you send push notifications to the simulator?

As of Xcode 11.4, you can start sending pushnotifications to the simulator using the command, xcrun simctl push <device-identifier> <your-bundle-id> <your_apns_file .

Yes, that’s true . I always wondered if I can send a Push Notification on iOS simulator instead getting a real device while developing applications. Simulator supports simulating remote push notifications, including background content fetch notifications.

The second approach can be used to send FCM notification but it does not work with the Simulators . It only works with a physical iOS device.
