Getting Your APNs Certificate

These instructions come from another great gem, apn_on_rails.

Once you have the certificate from Apple for your application, export your key and the apple certificate as p12 files. Here is a quick walkthrough on how to do this:

  1. Click the disclosure arrow next to your certificate in Keychain Access and select the certificate and the key.
  2. Right click and choose Export 2 items….
  3. Choose the p12 format from the drop down and name it cert.p12.

Optionally, you may covert the p12 file to a pem file (this step is optional because Apnotic natively supports p12 files):

$ openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -out apple_push_notification_production.pem -nodes -clcerts
