Configure Apple Push Notifications (APN)

Ok, this is a bit of a pain. Follow carefully.

  • Go to https://developer.apple.com/ and follow the steps to create a new certificate. Create a Push Notification certificate and download.
  • Add this certificat to your keychain (double clicking should do this).
  • Navigate to Certificate and look for the certificate you just added.
  • Ctrl click the certificate and click export. Enter a password.
  • the run openssl pkcs12 -in Certificates.p12 -out apns.pem -nodes -clcerts

Then your app should be able to do the rest..

Configure Google Push Notifications (GPN)

Google makes things easier, all you need is an API key. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/ and enable Push Notifictions.
