iOS push notification settings

• In the application page you need to upload the certificate + key. Follow the steps indicated in developer.apple.com to create a new Development Push Notification certificate. To summarize, in keychain you'll create a signing request file (it will also generate a public and private key) and upload it to developer.apple.com.
• Download the generated aps_development.cer and double click on it to install it in keychain.
• Convert the aps_development.cer file into aps_development.pem file

openssl x509 -in aps_development.cer -inform der -out aps_development.pem

• From keychain export the private key in privatekey.p12 (you'll need to enter an export password). This private key has for name what you enter as "Common name" in during the signing request generation,
• Extract the key from this p12 file:

openssl pkcs12 -in Certificates.p12 -nocerts -out privatekey_with_password.key

You'll have to enter the export password and add a new PEM phrase.

• Remove the PEM phrase from the key:

openssl rsa -in privatekey_with_password.key -out privatekey.key

• Upload both aps_development.pem and privatekey.key to AirNotifier.
• Launch the server, no error message should appear.
