Update new APNS certificate to GCM

Question

Generated new certificates in Apple Developer Centre. It's weird i couldn't upload that certificates to GCM and also i couldn't see UPDATE button developer website.

It shows error {{ controller.errorMessage }}

How do I do that? Here's a screenshot of the Google Developer

Answer 1

You would have to import your GCM project to the Firebase Console (there won't be any changes, see my answer here) and update the certs from there.

While already importing, I would strongly advise toigrate your app(s) to start using FCM.

Answer 2

Same issue I was facing and able to solve !

Background : In my scenario we have an iOS App in the store and all our push notification configured through Google GCM (We were not using FCM). But we had situation where our APNS certificate is just about to get expired and we don't want to make any iOS Release(We had around 4k DAU on the current version)

Once certificate was expired any Notification we sent was throwing InvalidApnsCredentialfrom GCM.

Here is how to get out of this.

1. Configure you Firebase project. (Make sure you're logged into right Google account - the one you configured for setting up your GCM)
   Goto : https://firebase.google.com > GET STARTED
   
   

2. Choose Import Google Project
   
   

3. You must see now all the GCM Project as below - If your logged in with correct account. Choose the project.
   
   

4. Now your Firebase project is ready. It should look like below.
   
   

5. To Update new certificate.

   • Choose Setting gear at Overview.
   • Choose Project Settings
     
     

6. Now choose Cloud Messaging Tab & now you APNs Certificate section is visible.

   • If Certificate already expired - you must see RED flagged cell with UPLOAD & DELETE options. Upload new APNs certificate using * UPLOAD*.

You got better way to do it, please share your thoughts ! Cheers !
