we are currently developing iOS applications for different clients.
We have one template application and different derived applications (slightly different layout, but the functionality is nearly the same).
We've chosen to host our backend on heroku and use the PubNub-Addon (with pub-and sub to different channels) to handle push-Notifications.
http://www.pubnub.com
This works just fine for one application. But if we have multiple applications we need to create one pub nub "application" for each iOS application, because we need to upload the PEM-File (APNS certificate) of the iOS app to the PubNub application which is quite cumbersome.
Is there a possibility that multiple iOS app use the same PEM-File (APNS certificate)? So that we can use one PubNub Application for all the different iOS apps?
Do you have any other suggestions how this problem can be solved?
Thanks in advance!
Save this answer. Show activity on this post. Actually you can create only 2 apple push certificates for one App ID and no more.
The APNs certificate is required to manage devices with MDM. Feel free to renew your certificate at any time before it expires. APNs certificates must be renewed annually.
APNS is a free service. However, you need to maintain a server to send Push Messages.
No its not possible to use same PEM-File for multiple application. You would need to create separate PEM file for each application. Because apple push notification server(APNS) can’t identify your different applications by one PEM certificate.
