We use apns-php to implement push notification service and have faced this problem recently:

Push notifications work with our Development Profile and not work for Production.

We get no errors from apple servers and we can see that they work fine. Here’s the log

2012/05/09 07:26:50 [trace] [push_notification] APNS: INFO: Trying ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195...
2012/05/09 07:26:51 [trace] [push_notification] APNS: INFO: Connected to ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195.

2012/05/09 07:26:51 [trace] [push_notification] APNS: STATUS: Sending message ID 1 [custom identifier: YSA-Notification-ID#181] (1/3): 121 bytes.
2012/05/09 07:26:51 [trace] [push_notification] APNS: STATUS: Sending message ID 2 [custom identifier: YSA-Notification-ID#181] (1/3): 121 bytes.
2012/05/09 07:26:51 [trace] [push_notification] APNS: STATUS: Sending message ID 3 [custom identifier: YSA-Notification-ID#181] (1/3): 121 bytes.
2012/05/09 07:26:52 [trace] [push_notification] APNS: INFO: Disconnected.

So as you can see there are no errors. But no notifications received on the iPad.

Maybe somebody faced this problem before? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

    Somewhere I’ve read that both the SSL certificates could be put into a single PEM file. Unfortunately that hint didn’t seem to be correct…

    I found that having both the production and the sandbox SSL certificate in a single PEM file causes the production environment to silently fail.

    Solution is to split the PEM into two separate files and pass it to the server accordingly:

    $server=new ApnsPHP_Push_Server(ApnsPHP_Abstract::ENVIRONMENT_SANDBOX, 'server_certificates_bundle_sandbox.pem');

    or

    $server=new ApnsPHP_Push_Server(ApnsPHP_Abstract::ENVIRONMENT_PRODUCTION, 'server_certificates_bundle_production.pem');

    After that, everything worked fine.
