Unable to upload Development APNs certificate

Question

I'm unable to upload the Dev APNs Certificate for cloud messaging, all I get is the error:

There was an unknown error while processing the request. Try again.

I've tried on different accounts and on different projects. Earlier today it seemed to be working fine.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I think I've Identified the problem, seems like Apple is now calling signed certs "Apple Push Services: #Bundle-Name" rather than "Apple Development iOS Push Services: #Bundle-Name". I'm guessing the guys at Firebase have yet to account for this.

I've sent them a bug report and will update this once I get a concrete response.

Answer 2

I had the same issue last night. My Dev APNs are gone and can't re-upload, i got the same error as you.

And immediately send and feedback / ticket to Firebase Support. It's an issue from their end, and already fixed and pushed to production they said.

Now my Dev APNs are back.

Here's the latest reply from Firebase Support Team

Hello Bagus,

This issue has been fixed from our end and the fix has been pushed to production. You should be able to upload the Development APNs certificates without issues.
