Push notification not working for the production environment

Question

I have spent a whole day on this already but still didn't go anywhere.

When I run my app in the development mode, I can get the push messages I send to myself thru PushMeBaby without a problem. However, when I try to test it in the production environment, I cannot get any push. I re-generated all the certificates and provisioning profiles, used the aps_production_identity.cer as the certificate for push, changed the ssl to gateway.push.apple.com, and did a release build for the app, but still couldn't get it to work. I found that in PushMeBaby, the line

result = SSLHandshake(context);

returns error -9844. Does it mean that something is wrong with the aps_production_identity.cer file?

This is driving me nuts, can somebody offer a little help?

Much appreciated!!!

Hello,

I'm facing the same issue, have you solved this problem?

Thank you

Answer 2

Yes, I've solved this error. I lost a few days finding the solution. The problem is in the line: result = SSLSetPeerDomainName(context, "gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com", 30); NSLog(@"SSLSetPeerDomainName(): %d", result);

You have to change the port to number 30. This solves the problem.

I hope you can resolve the issue.

Regards!
