Hi,
Regarding the announcement about the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) Server Certificate Update, I wanted to clarify whether it will impact my app’s push notification setup.
I use Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications to iOS devices, and in my Firebase project settings, I have configured an APNs Authentication Key under the Apple app configuration tab (Firebase Console > Project Settings > Cloud Messaging > iOS app configuration).
The authentication key I am using was generated from Apple Developer > Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > Keys.
Since I am using this authentication method instead of APNs certificates, are there any changes I need to be aware of due to the APNs server certificate update, and do I need to update anything in my current configuration to ensure push notifications continue to work?
Thanks in advance!
The certificate update only needs to be done on the actual servers connecting to APNs. In your case servers used by FCM.
While presumably FCM and other push service providers will be taking care of this, it is ultimately your responsibility to confirm this with your push provider to make sure your production pushes are not interrupted.
