What's the correct format for Java APNS certificate?

I'm using Java APNS (com.notnoop.apns, v0.2.3) to send Push Notifications to my iOS app. I'm creating the APNS service with the following lines:

private ApnsService createApnsService() throws IOException {
        ApnsServiceBuilder serviceBuilder = APNS.newService().withCert(certResource.getInputStream(), certPassword);
        serviceBuilder.withSandboxDestination();
        return serviceBuilder.build();
}

And receive the following exception:

org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is com.notnoop.exceptions.NetworkIOException: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure\n\tat org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.processRequest(FrameworkServlet.java:948)\n\tat org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.doPost(FrameworkServlet.java:838)\n\tat javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:647)\n\tat org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.service(FrameworkServlet.java:812)\n\tat javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:728)\n\tat org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:305)...    <<...the stacktrace is much longer, but I've cut it of here, since nobody would read it anyway...>>

I'm guessing that my P12 certificate is incorrect. (I've also tried PEM certificate already.) At the moment I've created the P12 certificate at this way and then applied a password:

What's the correct way to create the certificate which is compatible with Java APNS?

Solution

  • I created it as per this tutorial earlier this year and it worked perfectly.

    First follow this: http://raywenderlich.com/32960

    Then take the created .pem and then convert, as per instructions here http://code.google.com/p/apns-sharp/wiki/HowToCreatePKCS12Certificate
