Inquiry About Upcoming Changes to APNs Certificates

Hello,

I’m reaching out to gather information regarding the upcoming changes to APNs certificates that are set to be implemented in the beta at the end of January 2025.

Specifically, I would like to understand the following:

What will be the practical impact of these changes on apes apis ?
What actually needed to be done at trust store for this changes, and how will it affect our current setup?
What steps do we need to take to update the certificates on our servers?

it’s crucial for us to address these changes in advance and keep our customers informed.

Thank you for your help!

What will be the practical impact of these changes on apes apis ?

Once the changeover occurs, APNs will no longer accept the old certificate and you will no longer be able to send push notifications unless your servers have added the new certificate.

What actually needed to be done at trust store for this changes, and how will it affect our current setup?

What specifically needs to be done to install the new certificate to the Trust store will be different for all kinds of OSs and may also be different based on the push application you are using. This is something your server admins will know and should be able to check and configure as necessary.

What steps do we need to take to update the certificates on our servers?

This is something you should ask your server admins.

Thank you for the feedback.

We are using the p8 key for APNs, so this change will apply there as well ?, since certificates are not being used.

Hi @Engineer, As @Japheth_Bandarkar asked, can you clarify if the change of the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service affects p8 Token-Based Connection to APNs. Thank you

Hi @Apple Engineer, We have exact same question but here is no clear information from Apple.

We are also using Token-based connection (p8 key) for APNs, do we need to do any change related to this?
