Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) Server Certificate Update
Navigating the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) Server Certificate Update
Apple recently announced an important update to its Apple Push Notification service (APNs) server certificates. This change impacts how applications connect with APNs in both Sandbox and Production environments. At Netmera, we’re fully prepared to manage these updates to ensure uninterrupted service for our users.
Understanding the APNs Server Certificate Update
Apple will implement server certificate updates for APNs on the following dates:
- Sandbox Environment: January 20, 2025
- Production Environment: February 24, 2025
These updates involve transitioning to a new SHA-2 Root certificate: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority. Apple asks developers to ensure their applications’ Trust Stores include this new certificate to maintain secure connections with APNs.
How Netmera Simplifies This Transition
As a Customer Engagement Platform, Netmera ensures a seamless experience for your applications. Here’s how we’re handling the APNs certificate update:
- Infrastructure Management: We manage the server certificates and Trust Store configurations required to connect with APNs securely.
- Compliance: Netmera’s infrastructure is updated to align with Apple’s latest changes, ensuring continued delivery of your push notifications.
By taking care of these technical updates, we eliminate the need for manual intervention on your part.
What Does This Mean for You?
Good news! You don’t need to make any changes to your iOS applications or Netmera configurations. The required updates will be managed entirely by Netmera.
However, as a best practice, we recommend testing your push notifications after Production Testing on February 24, 2025. This testing ensures that your notifications continue to perform seamlessly and reach your users as intended.
SSL Provider Certificates: No Changes Required
Apple has clarified that this server certificate update does not affect APNs SSL provider certificates issued to developers. This means there’s no additional work required on your end related to these certificates.
Staying Ahead with Netmera
At Netmera, we are committed to keeping your customer engagement strategies uninterrupted and effective. Our proactive approach to managing these updates ensures that you can focus on what matters most—building meaningful connections with your audience.
