You can continue to use existing connected apps during and after Spring ‘26. However, we recommend using [external client apps](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.external_client_apps.htm&language=en_US) instead. If you must continue creating connected apps, contact Salesforce Support. See [New connected apps can no longer be created in Spring ‘26](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=005228017&type=1&language=en_US) for more details. To enable push notifications for your mobile connected app, these requirements must be met: ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-identity-264-0-0-production-enus/699dab6f-8f1a-4662-b24f-6521d5b747f7/images/icon_note.png) Note A push-enabled connected app can support only one mobile platform. To support push notifications on Android and iOS versions of your mobile app, create a connected app for each platform. For details, see the [Salesforce Mobile Notifications Implementation Guide](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pushImplGuide.meta/pushImplGuide/pns_overview.htm). - Your app is built with Salesforce Mobile SDK. - Your app implements the Mobile SDK push notification protocol for your platform. - You’re a registered developer with the mobile platform provider (Apple or Google). - Your app is registered with Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) for iOS push notifications or with Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for Android push notifications. - You’ve subscribed to custom notifications or implemented Apex handlers for push notifications. Use these instructions to enable and test your mobile connected app’s push notifications. - **[Configure iOS Push Notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_mobile_push_notifications_ios.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To support push notifications for iOS versions of your mobile app, create a separate connected app for the iOS platform. - **[Configure Android Push Notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_mobile_push_notifications_android.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To support push notifications for Android versions of your mobile app, collect information from a Google Firebase project. Then, create a separate connected app for the Android platform. - **[Disable Full Content Push Notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_mobile_push_full_content.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** The content of mobile push notifications can be displayed outside of a connected app, such as on a mobile device’s lock screen. Full content push notifications are enabled by default for most connected apps, but you can choose to display minimal content instead. When full content push notifications are disabled, custom notification types display the notification title only. - **[Test Push Notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_test_push.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To run a quick test of your push notification setup, use the Send Test Notification page. Troubleshoot round-trip push notifications in a synchronous mechanism without having to configure custom notification types, Apex calls, or REST calls. You can also gain insights into what’s going on behind the scenes in the asynchronous environment of real-world push notifications. - **[Change the Mobile Platform for Push Notifications](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_mobile_push_notification_change.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To change the mobile platform that you’ve configured for push notifications, edit the mobile connected app’s settings. #### See Also - [Create a Connected App](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When you create a connected app, make sure that you understand how it’s going to be used so you can configure the appropriate settings. For example, if you’re creating a connected app to integrate an external application with your Salesforce API, configure the connected app with OAuth authorization settings. Or if you’re creating a connected app to act as a service provider in a SAML single sign-on (SSO) flow, configure SAML settings.") - [Connected Apps](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.connected_app_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "A connected app is a framework that enables an third-party application to integrate with Salesforce by using APIs and standard protocols, such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. Connected apps use these protocols to authenticate, authorize, and provide single sign-on (SSO) for third-party applications. The third-party applications that are integrated with Salesforce can run on the customer success platform, other platforms, other devices, or even SaaS subscriptions. For example, when you log in to your Salesforce mobile app and see your data from your Salesforce org, you’re using a connected app.")
