Updated Amazon SNS Push Certificate for iOS. Notifications stopped - ios

I have an app that's been live with push notifications for close to a year now. It's using Amazon's SNS service to provide the push notifications, but the certificate expired having followed Amazon's instructions, I created the new certificate through Apple's member center, installed it on my machine, exported it and its private key into a .p12 file, and finally uploaded that .p12 file to the Amazon SNS dashboard.
Everything seemed to work fine. But now when I try to actually send a push to my test device... nothing happens.
I've tried installing mobileconfig file mentioned here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2265/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40010376-CH1-TNTAG24
...and in the console log I can see lots of messages like this
Aug 20 11:49:51 (my phone's name) apsd[86] : 2014-08-20 11:49:51 -0500 apsd[86]: setEnabledTopics:{(
)} ignoredTopics:{(
)} opportunisticTopics:{(
"(my app id)"
)} forCategory UsesALS pretend NO change NewlyEnabled
...which I assume means the app is telling apple to send it push notifications. But still nothing.
I have a second app set up the same way and I'm able to send notifications to THAT app through the SNS dashboard, so I know I'm sending them properly, but I'm not sure what else to do to debug this. What could be the problem here?

Push notification not delivered from Amazon Pinpoint Campaigns

I created a Amazon Pinpoint project using a production certificate from my Apple developer account, I configured my Xcode project with the project ID and APS environment equal to 'production' , I upload the app to TestFlight and then install it in my device, when I send a message using the 'Test messaging' Amazon Pinpoint option (using an specific Endpoint Id or Device Token) the push notification is sent and received in my device, but when I launch a Campaign everything looks ok but I never received the push notification in my device, regardless that the segment I choose is dynamic and shows 1 eligible endpoint (I assume is mine because only I have installed this version).
Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks in advance!
P.D: In the development environment both works, the message to specific device and the campaign.
UPDATE: I've research in all Amazon pinpoint documentation and is unclear the solution and in other posts from AWS forums and stackoverflow I found that the solution is use the APNs Production certificate and I've already done this.
I found that this line of code in the function didFinishLaunchingWithOptions, the debug mode was always in true:
// Enabling app to receive push notification from Amazon Pinpoint
// Instantiate Pinpoint
let pinpointConfiguration = AWSPinpointConfiguration
.defaultPinpointConfiguration(launchOptions: launchOptions)
// Set debug mode to use APNS sandbox, make sure to toggle for your production app
pinpointConfiguration.debug = false
pinpoint = AWSPinpoint(configuration: pinpointConfiguration)
So the device could not be able to receive the remote notification from Amazon pinpoint

iOS Notifications are not receiving that are sent from the server

First of all may be it will be a duplicate question, but due to curiosity I have asked.
I have an application in which push notifications are used, I have prepared, created all the required things for it and at last I have checked the notifications on this link: https://pushtry.com/. All are working well. NOw the problem is that, when admin wants to send the notification from their admin panel the push notifications are not receiving in iOS device.
I have update all the necessary certificates, pem files, methods for iOS 10 etc, but I don't get received the notifictions from admin panel, as per backend, when we send notifications it shows notification send successfully and showing no error for it. I don't know whats wrong going.
Any sugesstions....
First check all the validations or verifications like certificate, pem file and other things are updated on iOS and backend side. This will ensures that nothing error or fault at both ends.
Now reinstall the app in iOS, Clear all notification ids or apns token table from database. On installing the app, you will see there are few apis token available. Now open your admin panel and test again, it will works correctly.
Firstly I want to confirm which certificate you are used for the app developer or distribution.Because there are different ways for sending the notification for both(developer or distribution). Like I am using php services at backend.When I am using developer certificate my backend developer used 'ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195', $err,
and when I used distribution certificate he used
//'ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195', $err.
Thanks

iOS Push Notificationss log/history or trace

I'm trying to test Push Notifications on an app which has been developed by other team. We have the app installed in our device and validated (the app is no yet in the App Store).
Connection parameters with APNS server are ok.
We launch our script to execute the Push Notification but we don't receive any notification in our device/app.
Question:
There are any log or trace in APNS of our demands?
Have APNS any history of the Notifications sended and its status ?
Note : We use Adobe Campaign to generate Push Notifications services.
We've tested the flux with an alpha version of the app and worked but now with a RC candidate doesn't work.
Thanks in advance
I recommend to check all these possibilities:
Notification is not sent from server
Try to log apns response to see if this is the issue
Check if apple certificates used are expired
Check if you're sending notification using development or production certificates with the right gateway. As Apple say:
The binary interface of the production environment is available through gateway.push.apple.com, port 2195; the binary interface of the development environment is available through gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com, port 2195.
Notification is sent from server but is not received by device
Check in settings if push notification are enabled for your app
Check if some code is hiding the notification when the app is in foregroud or is working in background
Check if you have installed the right environment application (if you send notification for production you won't receive nothing in a development build of the app)
Check the device token used to send notification
Did your app communicate to your server that it is a staging app and that the script should send APN via the Apple staging server?
Did you also deploy staging certs/keys to your server?
Did you log the response you got from the APN server when your server communicated with it?
Use APN Tester app save my day, thanks "sanandiya viper".
The problem was app's developers don't tell us p12 certificate is production one and we installed it as developer certificate. APN Tester bring us the choice to test booth options.
Thanks for all your answer. Problem solved.

Bluemix Push Notification service not working anymore?

I have a native iOS Swift app talking to a Node.js Bluemix backend with MobileFirst services (AMA, Cloudant, Push iOS 8), which worked well for over a month. A few days ago I noticed that I could no longer register new devices from the iOS app (IMFPushClient.sharedInstance().registerDeviceToken() responded with a 404).
I knew that changes had been made recently to the MobileFirst services (e.g. the various push services were merged into one), so I figured I should rebind those services. This resolved the registration issue, but I haven't been able to receive push notifications ever since.
This is what I tried:
created a completely new backend with the "MobileFirst Services Starter" boilerplate
cloned the most recent version of the "Bluelist" sample app and configured it for this new backend
issued a new APNs certificate for my bundle ID and uploaded it to the push service
successfully registered for push notifications on my device. I have verified this by calling the /devices REST API (essentially, I followed these steps).
Now every time I use the REST API to send messages (after figuring out that the bearer token approach was replaced with a new "appSecret" header), I get an HTTP 202, but the notification never arrives. Likewise, when I try to send the message through the service's dashboard, I get a success message, but the notification never arrives.
One thing I noted is that the symptoms stay the same even if I don't provide the .p12 certificate to the service, so I wonder if this might be some certificate issue, but I have no idea how to trace this. Also, IIRC the "old" MobileFirst services required me to provide the bundle ID and version of the mobile app, but this seems to be gone now. Any help is greatly appreciated.
We were able to solve the issue above by making sure the sandbox environment was using a sandbox .p12 file. To verify this setting go to the IBM Push Notification Dashboard and click the Configuration tab:
Here you can see the Certificate Type of the .p12 file you have uploaded. Make sure if you are using the Sandbox environment it is listed as Sandbox. Same is true for the Production environment.

Parse remote push notification service unavailable iOS

I'm having an issue with Remote push notifications everything is Installed but when i try to send a push notifications it says
[Error]: Client-initiated push isn't enabled.
so i went to Parse/appName/Settings/Push when i try to enable Client Push notification it says Service Unavailable.
i thought it's because i didn't upload a certificate, then i created & Uploaded a certificate but No luck.
i checked their Status, everything is Working..
am i missing something ?
change the name of your application and try again.
for example, I had "game" and changed to "ggame" in my application and it worked.
