Apns php error "Failed to connect to APNS: 110 Connection timed out."

Question

I have done apns code for php and objective c from this Apns code

and setup certificate from this link

Sandbox and production apns for sending notification to ios devices is working perfectly on my server.I moved code and same certificate to client server then sending notification is not working.

I debug all php code and found that it stops at this line of code

private function _connectSSLSocket($development) {
    $ctx = stream_context_create();
    stream_context_set_option($ctx, 'ssl', 'local_cert', $this->apnsData[$development]['certificate']);
    $this->sslStreams[$development] = stream_socket_client($this->apnsData[$development]['ssl'], $error, $errorString, 100, (STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT|STREAM_CLIENT_PERSISTENT), $ctx);
    if(!$this->sslStreams[$development]){
        $this->_triggerError("Failed to connect to APNS: {$error} {$errorString}.");
        unset($this->sslStreams[$development]);
        return false;
    }
    return $this->sslStreams[$development];
}

apns.log file shows the error "Failed to connect to APNS: 110 Connection timed out."

Not getting the mistake. Why this error am i getting and not sending notification to ios devices ? Can anyone guide me for this ?

Your client's server may be behind a firewall that blocks port 2195. — Eran, Sep 26 '13 at 10:24

ah a problem like this will occur when you are in a shared hosting too — Lucabro, Sep 26 '13 at 12:43
Thanks to all for comment. Yes i have shared hosting. Any solution for that ? — Viral Narshana, Sep 26 '13 at 13:09
Try to looking for a VPS or an external service for push notification like http://push.io/ or http://www.pushwoosh.com/ or http://openpush.im/ — Lucabro, Sep 26 '13 at 13:21
Luca Machettelodicoaff Brognar is push notification will not work with shared hosting ? I can't use external service and can't move client server to vps. Is any solution with shared hosting ? — Viral Narshana, Sep 27 '13 at 04:46

Finally i took vps instead of shared hosting. Lucabro's comments helped me to solve. Thanks Lucabro.

@ReNiShAR Yes i am sure. – Viral Narshana Mar 12 '15 at 05:54
I also ran into this problem with a script that was on shared hosting. We told the host about the problem and they enabled port 2195 in their firewall for us - so that might be worth a try. – ban-geoengineering Mar 16 '16 at 14:02

A good solution is to use a cloud function like firebase to run the actual apns connection and expose an API for your other backend in the shared hosting. This is what I used when I run in this problem.

Firebase cloud functions are convenient easy to develop and virtually free.

I'll post my solution to sometimes next week.
