URGENT: Push Notification Certificates

General (non-technical) Testing Forum for Moderators / Admins

Ok, so I tried to set up Push Notifications for iOS through Corona Cloud. Everything was going fine, until I had to upload the certificates. When I tied to do that, it gave me an error:

Dev certificate Only p12 format is allowed for development certificate.

However, according to this tutorial http://www.coronalabs.com/blog/2011/12/21/push-notifications-for-ios-in-corona-sdk/ the final certificate should be .pem

So could someone tell me what I am doing wrong, or should I be uploading something different?

Thanks!

  1. Open up Keychain Access.
  2. Find your Push notification certificate and CTRL-click on it.
  3. Choose the “Export “your certificate name”” from the popup window.
  4. Give it a name in the “Save As” dialog that comes up.  It will default to a .p12 file

Try that and see if it solves your problem.

nope that didn’t work. If I try to add the “ck.pem” file to keychain it gives me an error. And none of the other certificates (That I got from the provisioning portal) don’t  have to option to Export them.

Hi,

That link is not related to Corona Cloud, as far as CC is concerned we require a .p12 format file.

  1. Keychain Access
  2. Right-click on “Apple Development IOS Push Services: ”
  3. Select “Export…”
    1. File Format: Personal Information Exchange (.p12)
    2. Set Passphrase
    3. You should have a .p12 file now

Give it a try and let me know.

Thanks

Hi, so that worked, and I uploaded the certificates.

However, when I tried to test it, nothing poped up on my device

Hi,

Sorry silly question, but have you registered a device with CC for Push?

Thanks

Yes, I did

Mohamed, will it be possible to unregister a device? So lets say, the user no longer wants to receive push notifications, he can unregister?

and sorry for hijacking the thread, but the question fits the topic.

I’m not sure about Android, but on iOS the users get an entry in their Settings->Notifications area where they can turn on/off push notifications.  So there really isn’t much of a need to un-register a device.

So any idea why it’s not working for me?

@Dingo, we will be adding a call to unregister a device soon.

@deleruapps, can you send PM me your game ID and device ID please.

Thanks

Hi,

Looks like everything is configured fine on our end, did you update your provisional profile after creating the new certificate?

Thanks
