Support Apple Push Services certificate

Question

Notification Hub requires an APNs certificate to send push to iOS devices. The problem is that Apple doesn't provide it anymore. Now you can create an Apple Push Services certificate. 

It can be uploaded to the hub with this work arround http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23190517/azure-notification-hub-unable-to-upload-p12-for-apn

But the notification to iOS devices is not sent.

How can I use Notification Hub with this new kind of certificate? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi Agustin, the cert should just work if the provisioning profile is of the same production/developer(sandbox) as the hub. Can you provide more details around the issue?

Answer 2

Sure! My hub was working fine until my APNs certificate expires. So I went to Apple developer's site to create a new one. 

The only diference I see is that the old one (developer, still valid) type is APNs development iOS and the new Apple Push Services.

I Check that my device is correctly registered in HUB.

But when I send a push, device never receibes it. No changes in the app, only a new certificate y notification hub.

Mimi Xu if you need more information please let me know.

Thanks

P.S. I cannot upload images, my account is not verified?

Answer 3

During upload, have you selected the endpoint type as "Sandbox" as you are trying register development devices with Notification Hub and want to send notifications to these devices?

Answer 4

No, I upload this certificate as production. 

Answer 5

Could you try re-upload the certificate and select type as "Sandbox" and see whether your device is getting notifications or not.

Sorry for delay, I uploaded as "Sandbox" and nothing. No push received.
