How to Register an App ID for Apple Push Notification Service


          How to Register an App ID for Apple Push Notification Service

1) In the App ID section of the Provisioning Portal, locate the App ID you wish to use with the Apple Push Notification service. Only App IDs with a specific bundle ID can be used with the APNs. You cannot use a “wild-card” application ID. You must see “Available” under the Apple Push Notification service column to register this App ID and configure a certificate for this App ID.
2) Click the 'Configure' link next to your desired App ID.
3) In the Configure App ID page, check the Enable Push Notification Services box and click the Configure button. Clicking this button launches the APNs Assistant, which guides you through the next series of steps that create your App ID specific Client SSL certificate.
4) Download the Client SSL certificate file to your download location. Navigate to that location and double-click the certificate file (which has an extension of cer) to install it in your keychain.
5) When you are finished, click Done in the APNS Assistant.
6) Double-clicking the file launches Keychain Access. Make sure you install the certificate in your login keychain on the computer you are using for provider development. The APNs SSL certificate should be installed on your notification server.
7) When you finish these steps you are returned to the Configure App ID page of the iOS Dev Center portal. The certificate should be badged with a green circle and the label “Enabled”.
8) To complete the APNs set-up process, you will need to create a new provisioning profile containing your APNs-enabled App ID.
