Getting an Apple® certificate for the Push Notification Bridge

For the Push Notification Bridge to connect to APNs, it must authenticate with a certificate. You can get a certificate from the Apple Developer Center.

Note:

These steps relate to the original APNs Provider API, where sandbox and production services each require a different certificate.

The Push Notification Bridge does not yet support the new APNs Provider API, which is based on HTTP/2 and requires only a single certificate for both sandbox and production roles.

  1. In the Apple Developer Center, go to the Member Center.
    https://developer.apple.com
  2. Go to Certificates, Identities & Profiles.
  3. Click the plus sign (+) to add a new certificate.
  4. From the Development section, select Apple Push Notification service SSL (Sandbox).
    After you have developed and tested your solution, you can get a production certificate.
  5. Click Continue. Follow the instructions provided to generate a certificate.
