Can Azure Notification Hub handle WidgetKit push tokens

Azure Notification Hubs works with standard APNS device tokens and does not expose or document any special handling for WidgetKit-specific widgetPush tokens.

Notification Hubs integrates with APNS either via certificate (.p12) or token-based (HTTP/2) authentication, and sends notifications using the APNS endpoint that matches the app’s environment (sandbox or production). Configuration is done at the APNS level (Key ID, Team ID, Bundle ID, Token / certificate, endpoint), and Notification Hubs treats APNS tokens generically as APNS device tokens.

The available documentation describes:

• How to configure APNS in a hub (certificate or token-based).
• How to obtain and configure APNS authentication information.
• How to send APNS notifications (including headers such as apns-push-type, apns-priority).

There is no mention of WidgetKit-specific widgetPush tokens or any additional configuration or behavior for them. Based on the provided documentation, Notification Hubs does not have explicit or special support for WidgetKit widgetPush tokens beyond its generic APNS support.
