Do I need APNS certificate as well as VOIP certificate?

Question

Our application is already registered for APNS. Since we are going to implement PushKit, we have created VOIP certificate too. Is it really necessary? Can't we just use the APNS certificate for VOIP push?

Since there are two certificates now, I have to maintain two tokens. One is used to send normal push, and the other one to send VOIP push.

Can't we simply use one token/certificate for both purposes?

Answer 1

Actually you can use one universal certificate for your voip push and normal push. When you send a normal push, use normal topic and normal token, which is generally your bundle identifier

com.company.appname

When you send a voip push, use voip topic and your pushkit token, which is

com.company.appname.voip
