Sending a PUSH notification from OS X/Mac

Is it possible to use the parse OS X SDK to end push notification?

As soon as I added :

#import <ParseOSX/PFInstallation.h>
#import <ParseOSX/PFPush.h>

I started getting build errors:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: "_OBJC_CLASS_$_PFInstallation", referenced from: objc-class-ref in SendMessageController.o "_OBJC_CLASS_$_PFPush", referenced from: objc-class-ref in SendMessageController.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

PFPush and PFInstallation are not available on OS X. From the documentation (as of SDK 1.4.2):

This class is currently for iOS only. There is no PFInstallation for Parse applications running on OS X, because they cannot receive push notifications.

If you want to send a push notification, you'll have to use Cloud Code or the REST-API from within your OS X application. See here for the syntax Parse documentation and use e.g. NSURLSession and NSURLSessionTask for making the request.
