I'm curious about how device tokens function. I want to understand the mechanism behind it, how it's generated, and how it's used for communication between devices and servers.

    Installing a mobile app often entails agreeing to receive push notifications.

    Upon granting permission, the app generates a push token.

    For instance, on iOS, it's known as a PushToken, while on Android, it's a device token.

    The purpose of this token is to facilitate communication between the app server and your device.
