For iOS devices, what type of token should be used for the `push_token` parameter in API requests (e.g., with the `bulkregisterdevice` method)? Is it an FCM token or an APNs token?

For iOS devices, the push_token (also referred to as a device token) is issued by the Apple Push Notification service (APNs).

A push token is a unique identifier assigned by a push notification gateway when a device registers your application for push notifications. This token is crucial for sending notifications as it allows the gateway to identify and target specific devices.

For iOS devices: The push notification gateway is Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
For Android devices: The push notification gateway is Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

Typically, iOS device push tokens are 64-character hexadecimal strings (for example: 03df25c845d460bcdad7802d2vf6fc1dfde97283bf75cc993eb6dca835ea2e2f). When using these APNs tokens in API requests to target specific iOS devices, please ensure they are provided in lowercase.
