Push Notification Issue in Adhoc Distribution

Question

Hello I am new to IPhone.

I am working on Iphone app which receives push notifications successfully with development environment,but didn't receive notifications in adhoc distribution.

I have both certificates i.e development & production.

Can anyone tell me what am I missing?

Answer 1

As I posted yesterday as answer to the same question: (prev. answer)

I've similar problems. After making some test I reached the following conclusions:

1. If app (that was compiled with development provision profile) is installed than such device has development token and you should sent pushes to such device using development certificate.

2. If app (that was compiled with distribution provision profile) is installed than such device has production token and you should sent pushes to such device using production certificate.

And, If your app is not yet published, I think that APNS will not accept production certificate, so probably you won't be able to send push to your ad-hoc apps.

What you can do? For example, sent app to your testers that compiled with development certificate.

UPDATED: I've learned this question one more time and found some interesting information:

1. Download your Ad-hoc provision profile.
2. Open provision profile from 1. with text editor.
3. Search for lines <key>aps-environment</key> <string>production</string>
4. Check the value of the key aps-environment. Is it equal to production?

5. If yes then you should send to your ad-hoc apps push notification with production certificate.

   If the value is development then you should send to your ad-hoc apps push notification with development certificate.

6. Now open iOS Provisioning Portal -> App IDs. Select your app.
7. Check if Production Push SSL Certificate is enabled.

If this didn't help you then try to update your ad-hoc provisioning profile.
