iphone - Push Notifications wont work on distribution

Question

Ok now I have a problem with the push notifications. I have set them successfully for the developing part and I was receiving them on my device. Now I have the application on app store and I cant receave notifications. This is step by step what I did:

-I have created a provisioning profile for distribution and connected it to the app id that has push notifications for distribution and development.

-I have built the app for distribution with that provisioning profile.

-I have submitted the app on app store.

-Now I have 2 certificates in keychain access Apple Production IOS Push Service:AppID and iPhone Distribution:CompanyName

-I have made .pem file from both and tested it with both. No notification has arrived

I really have no idea what to try and how to fix this.

Answer 1

I have had similar problems, just a few weeks ago. For me the case was that I had several provisioning profiles left in xCode. So what I needed to do was:

• Go to Organizer -> Devices -> Provisioning Profiles
• Select my distribution profiles for the app in question, and delete them.
• Go to developer.apple.com/iOS
• Go to the distribution profile, modify it.
• Just clicked "select all" (so I could re-save it with no changes), somehow the profile needed to be re-created AFTER enabling the Push certificate
• Download the new profile and install it to xCode
• Clean project under Product -> Clean

Now I made a new release and tested it and it worked. Maybe this workes for you as well.

Edit The red-thread in this answer is that when Push notification in the App is enabled, the provisioning profiles need to be re-done (even though, to the eye there are no changes).
