Configure Apple Push Notifications (APN)

Ok, this is a bit of a pain. Follow carefully.

• Go to https://developer.apple.com/ and follow the steps to create a new certificate. Create a Push Notification certificate and download.
• Add this certificat to your keychain (double clicking should do this).
• Navigate to Certificate and look for the certificate you just added.
• Ctrl click the certificate and click export. Enter a password.
• the run openssl pkcs12 -in Certificates.p12 -out apns.pem -nodes -clcerts

Then your app should be able to do the rest..

Google makes things easier, all you need is an API key. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/ and enable Push Notifictions.
