iOS Question APN server

[Shay]

I am trying to build apple notification server as described here:
http://iosapplove.com/archive/2013/...shnotifications-to-my-iphone-ipad-app-part-2/

is the p12 from the above link, is b4i.p12 certificate that I need to use?
(I don't have Mac and I am stuck with the certificate part)

You should use B4X Push Server. Other solutions will most probably not work.

Can I run the B4X push server from my Linux server? (how?)

 

[Erel]

Of course. It is a regular B4J application.

 

[Shay]

Can it run as a service?

 

[Erel]

It is a normal Java application. You can configure it to start automatically. I run several such servers with a simple script that calls nohup java -jar ...

Erel, is it possible to provide us the java code from these server. For GCM you did that for us! This would be great!

I tried to use a Java APN, but I'm getting an error in the certificate -
Received fatal alert: unknown_ca

I guess this is caused, cause when I generate the p12 file, I use B4i.p12 and my push certificate (download from Apple). After read the documention from Apple, I guess I have to use the push.keystore to generate my new p12 file. But I can't do this join... Maybe somebody could help me.

Thanks.

It is a B4J server. The source code is included.

I highly recommend you to B4X Push Server solution. It works and under the hood it solves many complicated configuration issues.

I just solved this issue. I've implement the Java APN using directly the push Keystore, using KeyStore class to load it.

Now it's good!
