How do I handle sending iOS push notifications if my iOS app back end is in python?
I had a question which I have done a lot of googling on but still couldn't find a suitable answer. I am building my iOS app's back end using django rest framework and what I wanted to know since I am new to iOS is how would notifications show on a user's iphone when lets say a model is changed or something or for example if I make a simple GET request then how does a notification get put out on my iOS app?
regards and thanks in advance!

If you want the server to be able to notify an iOS device that a change has occurred and have that iOS device display a notification that would prompt the user to open your app, you probably need to look into the Apple Push Notification service (APN). See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications for details.
I suggest that you don't try to build this interface yourself. Since you're working with a Django backend, you can look for an existing Django plugin that does most of the work for you. For example, take a look at https://github.com/jazzband/django-push-notifications and see if it handles the use cases you have in mind.
