# AWS::Pinpoint::APNSChannel
<a name="aws-resource-pinpoint-apnschannel"></a>

A *channel* is a type of platform that you can deliver messages to. You can use the APNs channel to send push notification messages to the Apple Push Notification service (APNs). Before you can use Amazon Pinpoint to send notifications to APNs, you have to enable the APNs channel for an Amazon Pinpoint application.

The APNSChannel resource represents the status and authentication settings for the APNs channel for an application.
