Now your .pem file is generated.

Verify .pem file First, open the .pem in a text editor to view its content. The certificate content should be in format as shown below. Make sure the pem file contains both Certificate content(from BEGIN CERTIFICATE to END CERTIFICATE) as well as Certificate Private Key (from BEGIN PRIVATE KEY to END PRIVATE KEY) :

> Bag Attributes
>     friendlyName: Apple Push Services:
>     localKeyID: <> subject=<>
> -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

> 
> 
> -----END CERTIFICATE----- Bag Attributes
>     friendlyName: <>
>     localKeyID: <> Key Attributes: 
> -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
> 
> 
> 
> -----END PRIVATE KEY-----
