APNS: CSR generated from Windows is invalid

I'm trying to enable push notifications in my app, the problem is that I can't generate the certificate because whenever I upload my CSR (generated from Windows) I get the following error:

Invalid CSR Select a valid Certificate Signing Request.

The CSR was generated using the following specs:

  • Key Size 2048 bit

  • RSA Algorithm

I did the same process last year and I was able to generate the certificate but now all I get is the error above.. did Apple change anything about the CSR or am I missing something?

Solution

  • found it........ The CSR first and last line were:

    -----BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
.
.
.
-----END NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

    I had to remove the NEW word and it worked, I was able to generate the .cer file
