I am new to PushNotifications . I have been facing an issue while enabling the push notification for existing AppID .
Long time ago I had created the Certificate, Provisioning profile for an app . At that time I didn’t enabled the push notifications . To enable the push notifications I have logged into the Apple Developer Account and in the AppIds I have clicked the check for enabling the push notification . Then configure buttons have been enabled . If I click on the configure in the Production it is asking me to create the certificate . But I have already had a Certificate . I can’t delete existing Certificate because most of my apps using the existing certificate . So please help me to enable the push notification .
- Incase If I delete the certificate will it effect the already installed apps on the devices ? Please let me know if my question not clear.
For sending Push notifications you will have to create an SSL certificate. That is a different thing and not related to the “usual” certificates which you have to create and maintain anyway.
You will have to refresh the ssl cert. on a yearly basis.
This certificate is not even linked to the app. It is required on the server that acutally sends the push notifications to Apple’s service.
My advise: Just follow the instructions and do not get confused with any of the other certificates. And of course there is no need to delete an existing app-certificate.
