Handshake_failure exception when trying to push notification using APNS

After revoking an old certificate and generating a new .p12 certificate, my APNS program encountered issue in establishing handshake, thus we are unable to push notifications out.


Does anyone have any ideas? We are not sure if using 2 Macbooks that cause the issue. However, due to the account access limitations we have on both Macbooks, we have to carry this out on two macbooks.


Macbook A contains the Java source code to send APNS Notifications.

Macbook B is used to create the certificate, uploading it to developer.apple account and install the certificate to the same Macbook B.

We then exported the p12 file to Macbook A and when we try to run the source code on Macbook A using the exported p12 file from Macbook B, it throws a handshake error.


Our logs reflect the following error :

WARN io.netty.handler.ssl.ApplicationProtocolNegotiationHandler - [id: 0x551ee684, L:/10.0.3.115:49493 - R:api.push.apple.com/17.188.131.155:443] TLS handshake failed:

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

We encounter this issue randomly while sending out notification through Pushy Client , issue is resolved when we use Java PNS. Check https://github.com/relayrides/pushy/issues/294 .
