apple-push-notifications

This is maybe a strange question but it is really confusing me. Why do we have to create a development and a production SSL certificate for push notifications in iOS? What is the difference between the development and the production certificates? I am developing an iOS app with Push notifications (handled by a self-hosted Parse Server) and when I switch my environment from development to production (with a production certificate), I don't receive the push notifications anymore on my devices. Will it work once I upload this app to the app store (then, it will be in production)? Or can I "test"

I'm trying to send my phone a push notification using the simple PHP tool which connects to ssl://gateway.push.apple.com:2195 , but the connection fails with the following errors: Warning: stream_socket_client(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed in <Users/.../file.php> on line 30 Warning: stream_socket_client(): Failed to enable crypto in <Users/.../file.php> on line 30 Warning: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to ssl://gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com:2195 (Unknown error) in

I am developing a Push Notification enabled application for Iphone. In My application I have two List View (UITableView) 1st for Category List and the 2nd is Contents List.

Push notification is successfully coming in my application. My requirement is:- After VIEW button of Push alert is clicked application will directly display a particular detail view (UIWebView)[Omitting category and contents

I was trying to unit test the apple push notification library when I got a global leak error trying to open up an APN connection. Is that a configuration error on my part or an error in node-apn or mocha? I'm not sure I understand what checkGlobals is doing... is it just checking to see if any global variable are being set? 0) Feed "before all" hook: Error: global leak detected: hasCert at Runner.checkGlobals (/usr/lib/node_modules/mocha/lib/runner.js:96:21) at Runner.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/node_modules/mocha/lib/runner.js:41:44) at Runner.emit (events.js:64:17) at /usr/lib/node_modules/mocha

So, I have Push Notifications working fine to my app with Custom Sounds. However, when my iPhone is in silent mode, and I send a push notification with a custom sound, the sound obviously does not play, but there is also no vibration. If I send a push notification with a sound="chime" or something that doesn't exist like that, the iPhone's SMS notification sound plays as expected, and in silent phone, it vibrates, as expected. What am I doing wrong here? In case anyone else runs into this, I figured it out finally. It's actually on Apple's end. If you send out a push notification with a sound,

I'm having trouble figuring out how FCM behaves when I send a notification to an iOS device that is offline (e.g. in airplane mode, or turned off). The documentation on the time_to_live property mentions that Currently, time_to_live is not supported for notification messages on iOS. but doesn't provide an explanation of what is done instead. I've tried testing it, and it seems like a push notification sometimes goes through, and sometimes does not, regardless of what I set the time_to_live property to be, although I'm not sure if that's due to throttling or something else happening on the FCM
