I have enable push and then created the distribution profile but not created push certificate, now i want to add push service in my app how can i do ??
if i create push certificate after uploading app on app store will this effect my live app.
i have followed following steps:
created distribution profile with push service enable.
i have not created push certificate and i have downloaded distribution certificate with push service enable flag.
uploaded app on app store (with push enable flag).
i have created pem file by my distribution profile (that is wrong one)
now my push notification is not working , i want to enable push services in my live app.
can i follow following steps for that :
create new APNS certificate for push service.
can we use this without resubmitting app to AppStore.
Or do i need to create new provisioning profile & resubmit app to appstore?
Help us....

No, You need to add a APNS distribution certificate for the App you created in your Developer account. Create push notification certificate (prod.pem) and pass to your backened.
It will work, no need to submit again.
Follow this link to create pem certificate.

iOS Developer certificate expiration

I have some account with old certificate for an app that is currently in production. It's not duplicate of this question (Xcode apple developer certificate expiration: (0xE8008018)) because I know exactly what to do, but what harm it can does. Since I do not have CSR file that was used to create this certificate and app use a lot of push notifications.
Does revoking certificate will break push notifications?
What's about signing? If I revoke certificate I have to regenerate provisioning profile before pushing to store?
What will happen when I revoke certificate there?
You should review the Apple Support article on Certificates.
Does revoking certificate will break push notifications?
Yes, "you can no longer send push notifications to your app." At least not until you regenerate the cert and change your application to use the new one.
Distribution:
iOS Distribution Certificate (App Store)
If your Apple Developer Program membership is valid, your existing apps on the App Store will
not be affected. However, you will no longer be able to submit new
apps or updates to the App Store.
iOS Distribution Certificate (in-house, internal use apps)
Users will no longer be able to run apps that have been signed with this
certificate. You must distribute a new version of your app that is
signed with a new certificate.
Does revoking certificate will break push notifications?
Yes, if you revoke the certificate you will no longer receive push notifications to the app.
What's about signing? If I revoke certificate I have to regenerate provisioning profile before pushing to store?
If you create a new certificate and upload it to the server sending the push notifications you will be able to send push notifications again. This can be done without the need to build a new binary for the AppStore.
what harm it can does. Since I do not have CSR file that was used to create this certificate and app use a lot of push notifications.
Create a new certificate request and upload it to the correct app to create a new certificate in the developer portal. You do not need the original CSR file to do this.
In your case, Create a new certificate and replace the old cert on
push server with newly generated one. Cheers! All the pushes will
continue to deliver to users. But make sure do above thing just after
creation of new certificate.
Push cert is used for communication between your push server and APNS.
APNS allows push payload from the servers having valid certificates.
So replace the old cert with new one. I done it in past. No issue
faced. Push will be effected for the duration you would take to revoke
and update the certificates on push server.

IOS Serevr Push Notification For .Net or C#

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.

Provisioning profile and push notification certificate

I've been given a task to (re?)enable push notification for the company iOS app and don't know where to begin.
I learned that provisioning profile contains information on which app services are enabled, so
I logged into the apple developer center and got to the Certificates,Identifiers & Profiles page, but saw that Development iOS Provisioning Profile was already enabled with Push Notification.
However in the App IDs section, it shows Push Notification as configurable with a yellow dot.
Does this mean that the push notification is no longer working?
If that is the case, would regenerating the push notification certificate fix it? or would I have to create a new provisioning profile as well?
Thanks!
I meet the same problem. I had it token care of!
You need to add iOS push certificateļ¼
https://developer.apple.com/account/ios/certificate/certificateCreate.action
Apple Push Notification service SSL (Sandbox & Production).
Push certificate had been expired so it required creating a new push certificate. This invalidated provisioning profile with associated app id, so I had to re-generate the provisioning profile as well.
If in the App iD of your App its says Configurable then you better start by creating a new certificate, if not then try to get the exact private key of your CSR, your certificate and your pem file which you might have used earlier. It would do well to re-configure the entire thing actually, a mismatch between the private key would never allow you to receive the notifications

Does app need to be re-uploaded to include push notification certificate?

I have an app that uses push notifications. These notifications work perfectly in development, but I have problems in production. When I signed and uploaded my app to the App Store, I didn't realize that I haven't habilitated the push notifications.
Do I have to add a new provisioning profile and re-upload the app just to fix this?
I'm using the same certificate and the same xx.p12.
Yes. After you complete the production push notification certificate setup you need to regenerate your provisioning profile and resign your app.
The reason for this is that the provisioning profile contains entitlements related to the push notification service and the all important aps-environment information.
If you do not recreate the provisioning profile these entitlements and information will not be included.
For more information you can view the Local and Push Notification Programming Guide, specifically the provisioning section.
