A public key your push server uses to send messages to client apps via a push server. This value is part of a signing key pair generated by your application server, and usable with elliptic curve digital signature (ECDSA), over the P-256 curve. If no applicationServerKey member is passed when initialized, it will be set to null.

Examples

  reg.pushManager.getSubscription().then((subscription) => {
    const options = subscription.options;

  });
});
