My app's Apple Push Services Certificate is going to expire soon.
From here I am a bit unsure.
1.
I have now two APNs Certificates, one to expire soon and the new one. Should I delete the older certificate or just keep it and let it expire?
Edit: I probably uploaded the new certificate instead of updating the old one. I tried with another app and ended up with only one certificate. So I deleted the one I uploaded before and updated the existing cert. Now I have only one listed. My next question still apply:
2.
Should I change anything in the server code that sends the push notifications to reflect the updated certificate?
3 (Bonus question).
I just found that my provisioning profile is expired. Strangely, I didn't get any email notifications from Apple (just checked). The app works fine, though, and seems ok on App Store. Am I right that the provisioning profile is only needed when I want to update my app? In that case, I would rather wait.
- - I went to Apple Developer "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" and created a new certificate and downloaded the aps.cer file.
- - Then, in the IDE, I chose Tools > Build Server > Create Push Store > Firebase Service and downloaded the firebase_push.p12 file
- - The file was uploaded to the APNs Certificates section in Firebase > Project Settings > Cloud Messaging
- - The app itself does not need any changes, if I understand it correctly
