How does Parse Server internally decide on which APNS push certificate to use? (development vs production)
The server uses the apn node module and will try every certificates to issue your notification in order.

Did I miss something?
I've created some push notifications in Xamarin.iOS and it works perfectly with the Development certificate.
Then I created a Production certificate and it doesn't work.
Does APNS work differently in Production?
Thanks.
There are a few things to doublecheck. Make sure that:
You're using an App Store and Ad Hoc certificate to sign your app.
You're using an Apple Push Notification service SSL (Sandbox & Production) certificate on the server side
The aps-environment value in your info.plist is set to production
We are using the development APN pem currently.
We are about to submit app to the apple store for review for distribution
Shall we change the APN pem to distribution one now or only after apple's approval?
Currently for beta testing, we are using the build that uses development APN pem
You should not change the Push Notification Cert on your server, instead you should provide one for each environment (development, production). You can create one certificate per environment for your app in the Developer Portal. This approach allows you to test your push notification code and setup from Debug-Builds as well as from AdHoc-, TestFlight- or AppStore-Builds.
I have an app that uses APNS and a server that uses SSL certificates generated by Apple member portal.
Both the app and the server are open source, and people using this solution install the server and the app in their own machines. There is no "central" server.
For others to use push notifications, they need SSL certificates that I have. What are the security implications if I share my SSL certificates (private and public) for APNS push with others?
As per apple latest news "Providers using only SSL 3.0 will need to support TLS as soon as possible to ensure the Apple Push Notification service continues to perform as expected."
I have created a TLS certificate and deployed in the server but getting issue when trying to send push from the server.
I have followed the below link to create the TLS certificate.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/technotes/tn2326/_index.html
If anyone created TLS file and deployed in the server please reply my post.
Thanks in advance
I'm building an app that uses Parse to send push notifications. Currently I am in beta and have uploaded both a development and production push certificates. Client side, I add a bool to the Installation object to designate if the client is running a beta version.
When I send a push notification with Cloud Code how do I specify which certificate to use? Is it automatically selected for me? What happens when my app is in production simultaneously with my beta?
I don't use Parse, but I found this in their tutorial :
Note that once you have uploaded a production push certificate to Parse, you will only be able to target devices using a distribution provisioning profile. Devices running an app signed with a development provisioning profile will need to install the newly provisioned build again.
Based on this quote, you can't use Parse simultaneously for both development and production push notifications.
