Using ErrorResponse class for handling specific errors about grocer HOT 3 OPEN

I'm wondering the same thing.

My guess is that it should be used in pusher.rb after writing to the connection.

The thing is, I don't think the response from Apple is synchronous. The docs are a bit confusing, because the table suggests that 0 is returned when no error occurs, but elsewhere it says:

"If you send a notification that is accepted by APNs, nothing is returned."

And if there is an error response, Apple hangs up.

APNs returns an error-response packet and closes the connection

It looks like Grocer will retry 3 times by default (see connection.rb with_connection), but it doesn't appear to read off the connection to determine the ErrorResponse.

You are correct - we have an ErrorResponse class, but don't currently use it. In #14 you'll find a lengthy discussion and several proposed solutions for not dropping messages and also reading the error response. The most promising would be adding a producer/consumer queue, with a ring buffer to hold sent messages. This would allow us to continue to write at high speeds, but not block while waiting an arbitrary amount of time for an error message from APNS.

None of the original authors currently have available time to undertake the changes, but would be happy to work with any individuals who wish to.
