Hi guys, Adding Parse to one of my apps, and got confused: https://parse.com/tutorials/ios-push-notifications Section 2, step 4: "Choose "iOS App Development" as your provisioning profile type then select "Continue". We will create Ad Hoc and App Store profiles later." I'm at the part where I would like to do production/distribution, so I select the app store, however, at "Select certificates" it says there is no certificate to select and to create one. Not sure what certificate to create here for push to link to my new push distribution profile. I created a simple iOS Developer one, but it still says there are no certificates when I try to make my provisioning profile for parse. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I believe the certificate it's talking about is SSL certificate. See https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Introduction.html (under You Must Obtain Security Credentials for Push Notifications).

Hi @MrDavid, For all the provisioning stuff for Parse I followed the tutorial on this video and got it working (in dev and distribution). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHG7V8q0I_E It was a while ago but if you are stuck let me know and I will look up the exact solution. CHeers, Farcat

Hi far, I've used that tutorial, top notch and top quality, problem is that the certificates area is worded and a little different these days so I was getting confused :-( David

OK, I had a look at my set up. Basically you do exactly the same thing for distribution as you did for development (except the ID which you unable for Push only once for both dev and distribution). So if I look at my "certificates" section in the development section I see: - 1 "IOS development" certificate + - 1 "APNs development IOS" certificate In the Production bit I see: - 1 "IOS Distribution" certificate + - 1 "APNs Production IOS" certificate Does that help? Cheers, Farcat

Actually, a little! I've submitted 3 apps with Push now, so let's see if they work after they get approved. Farcat, thanks so much for helping me out here. I'll post in this thread if it was a success or not. Thanks again friend. David

My pleasure, you helped me plenty! Have you tested push while in development? It will tell you if you did everything right. Also a mistake I made was not to load the production .p12 in push.com, I had left the dev one. The correct .p12 file can be uploaded after the app has been approved, no problem. Fingers crossed. Push rocks :) Farcat

Yup dev worked fine, but the difference was that I was not sure how to do the provisioning profile for apn production, I know you link it to a iOS developer one, but for distribution I think you have to link it to a distribution certificate. That's what confuses me, I would have thought that you needed to link the provisioning profile to a APN distribution certificate, not just a regular distribution certificate? Argghh I'm confusing myself now.
