iOS device push tokens are 64 hexadecimal symbols strings. Push token example: Make sure that iOS push tokens you use when targeting specific devices in your API requests are lower case.

Starting with iOS 7 Pushwoosh SDK hwid is based on either IDFV or IDFA depending on the application settings (whether the app is using Ad Framework). If you do not use the Advertisement Identifier in your application as intended for advertisement purposes, you should not link the AdSupport.framework, and Pushwoosh will not use IDFA, and will use IDFV instead. HWID example:

- - - - - - By default our latest iOS SDK displays the notification banner when the app is running in the foreground. You can control this behavior by changing the following flags in the Info.plist:

Flag "Pushwoosh_ALERT_TYPE" – string type, values are:
"BANNER" – default value, displays banner in-app alert
"ALERT" – alert notification
"NONE" – do not display a notification when the app is in the foreground
