apple-push-notificationsiosiphoneobjective c
Until now I used development push certificate and the push notifications worked great.
Now I want to submit my app to Apple so I created a production certificate and set it under "code signing identity" -> "Release"
I also placed the .p12 file in my production server.
But the push now does not work.
Is it suppose to work when I run from xcode? or will it just work when downloading the app from App Store? If so how can I test it?
I am betting that your release mode includes compiling with your distribution certificate, which disallows this behavior (you wouldn't want some random fool hooking into your app after downloading it from the app store). Compile with the development certificate instead. You can change this in the building settings under code signing.
Turns out all you have to do is select "My Certificates" on the left panel and it enables the .p12 option.

You can test APNS production environment building an AdHoc version of your App. The app will be using the production certificates and servers and it's purpose is exactly to test BEFORE you send it to AppleStore.
Take a looke at this link: what kind of certificate do I need to test apns using ad-hoc distribution?
