The context provided does not specifically mention when APNs issues a new device token. However, it does describe how push tokens are used in the context of live activities. When a live activity is started, the app requests a push token from ActivityKit, which receives this push token from the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and provides it to the app. This push token is unique for each live activity requested by the app on the device.
