I have confused which certificate I should use in order to make apple push notification available for my app when my app accepted in appstore.
I was able to send and receive notification when I run app from xcode , but people download app from appstore only can get access token , but the can not receive notification .
I have confused about certificate App ids , provision ... distribution ... production .... etc .
Which certificate I should convert it as .pem file in my server ?
Which certificate I should put it as provision file in xcode ?
Please note that any application run from xcode can get notifications , any application run from appstore cannot.
You should use your "Distribution Certificate" for Appstore upload.
As of now I hope for testing you would have used development certificate. But while you push your app to Appstore you will be using "Distrubution Certificate" for uploading your app.
Like wise you have to create a push notification certificate for distribution(if in case you have it already make use of it) and convert that to .pem file to your server. Now push notification should work fine for AppStore upload.

I want to publish an app for the store (ios), this app should have push notification installed, i am a bit lost with setting the push notification from ios developer panel.
Here are my steps :
I create App Id with push notification enabled
When done, i edit it and add certificate (push certificate)
i create provisioning profile, with app id
Finally i have two certificates : Push certificate and Production certificate
I installed production certificate, provisioning profile to keychain, i downloaded push certificate and double click on it to install to keychain.
I build my app, test push and nothing happens, i get error ( no apns-environnement installed) WHYYYYYYYY?????
Please help me, i spend whole day just for it.
I want a step by step help to create production certificate + push certificate, and how to create provisioning profile for both?
Note : for mobile framework i use titanium, and for push : pushwoosh.
Thanks for your help.

I know this question has been asked a few times but I am still having issues after trying all the suggested fixes.
I have an app that is being tested through Apple's TestFlight of which a number of External Users have downloaded. The app was built using an AdHoc Distribution Profile against the relevant App ID which has Push Notifications Enabled for Distribution and has the necessary Apple Push Services certificate. I am using Parse and am able to receive notifications on my test device (signed with the dev certificate and APN push cert), however the external testers are not receiving any notifications.
I am using Parse and can see in the logs that the notifications are being sent so I am assuming it is something with the devices themselves related to a problem with the provisioning profiles. I also followed the steps to uploading a new .p12 file to my Parse server for production notifications.
However, it seems that only the builds with the development profile are able to receive notifications. Am I correct in assuming that this is because the certificate used by Parse to sign the notification doesn't match that which was used in the adhoc build? I.e. Parse is still using the old .p12 certificate?
When I uploaded the new .p12 file to my Parse server I didn't explicitly remove the previous .p12 certificate, do I need to do this? Would revoking the dev APN certificate solve this?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
The reason notifications were not being received was due to the production flag not being set to true when I uploaded the production certificate to my Parse server. I re-uploaded the certificate setting this to true and notifications began to work.
Hi Everybody i'm working with Apple Push Notifications for my app here i'm struggled with Device token issues & not getting Notifications.
i successfully created a .p12 key then i uploaded in Amazon SNS it working good and i'm receiving notifications also.
ISSUE Not getting notifications for exported ipa.
When i run with xcode it giving some device token(ex. xxx1111).after i uninstalled the old one,i exported as ipa,& uploaded in diawi.com then run it in same device it gives some different device token(ex. yyy2222). now i copied that new device token(yyy2222) into Amazon SNS with same .p12 key only, now i'm not getting any notifications.
But i deleted the app installed from diawi.com again i run it from xcode then i send the notifications with old device token(xxx1111) it getting notifications.
what is my mistake? help me pls.
TL;DR You've probably not uploaded the production APN certificate to your APN provider.
If the version of the app you run from Xcode works, but the exported version does not, then maybe you've only set up the development APN certificate in your APN provider. The exported app (be it Ad Hoc or Enterprise) is going to use a production certificate, so your APN certificate should be production too.
If you haven't created the production certificate, go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles in the developer portal, click on Production and choose Apple Push Notification service SSL (Sandbox & Production):
p.s. The token should change between development and distribution versions of the app.
I am new to IOS and want to create a server push notification. I had created the certificates and provisioning profiles for development and it is working fine.Now I want to create same for production to upload it to app store.Problem I am facing is :-
1) I am not able to get choose certificate for distribution(i.e APNS certificate for production SSL) while creating provisioning profile.I am only able to get the normal certificate which I am creating.
2)For which certificate I need to develop .p12 file i.e for APNS certi or for Normal certificate.
3)If we are uploading app with a normal certificate how will the apple distinguish whether the app is for Push Notification or for normal uses.
4)For uploading app where to put .p12 file for server side.
5)How to develop server side for free notification sending.
I have successfully created the .pem and .p12 file by
http://www.raywenderlich.com/32960/apple-push-notification-services-in-ios-6-tutorial-part-1
Tutorial.
We are using java as a server so I also exported my .p12 key using this link as there was an error of directly exporting the .p12 file
Cannot send push notifications using Javapns/Javaapns SSL handshake failure.
Everything is working great in debug mode. Whenever I install a build by xcode I receive the push notifications successfully everytime. But after archiving and uploading the build on testflight or diawi and then installing it on the device I didn't get any push notifications. I am successfully getting the device token from apns server. On debugging at server side we found that the device token they receive and send the notifications is invalid. This response is sent by the apns server to our java server. . I am using Xcode 6.0 or later and my app is compatible with ios7.0 or later. And yes I have made checks in registering for remote notifications for ios 8 and 7.Has anyone has faced this issue because earlier in xcode 5 series this hasn't happen. Please help
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
If you followed Ray Wenderlich's tutorial and you made everything work in development mode, the issue most likely comes the fact that you now need to create a new .pem-file for production mode.
So, you need to perform exactly the same steps that you did with the development certificate (i.e. the .p12-file) you downloaded once more with the production certificate which you can obtain in the iOS dev center as well:
Here is the quote from the tutorial that you probably overread:
If you’re ready to release your app to the public, you will have to
repeat this process to make an Ad Hoc or App Store distribution
profile.
1.)Check if the pem file you have stored on your server is created by using a development certificate or distribution certificate, for push notifications to work through ttestflight you need to create a pem file in the distribution mode,
2.) also check if the gateway you are delivering to is gateway.push.apple.com:2195, and not the sandbox one,
3.)the notification tokens are also different for development and distribution profile, check all these scenarios and see
In order for push to work you have to use the exact same AppID for both creating APNs cert and Provisioning Profile. Wildcard profiles cannot be used for push notifications. May this be your problem(using wildcard or just different AppID for TestFlight/diawi)?
