Approx Dec 13th 2025 til now (Dec 29th) I noticed my APNS dropped off to nothing daily. When I try to send APNS alerts on the developer site tool it always returns "discarded as device was offline" for multiple devices which I know are online.
When I try pushing through my VPS (as I always have without any code changes for months) I get status codes of 400 and 403 mostly and a few 200's without it delivering also.
I created a new sandbox certificate just in case it was that but still no luck, I get the same results. Ive checked for any firewall issues and I see the following on my VPS:
nslookup gateway.push.apple.com Server: 1.1.1.1 Address: 1.1.1.1#53
** server can't find gateway.push.apple.com: NXDOMAIN
This seems like a second issue but not the primary issue that the portal is reporting.
Any ideas what to check? Im at a loss as to why its not working at all through apples test notification portal on my developer account. It seems thats the initial issue I need to solve.
Thank you for any ideas/help
