Apple Push Notification service server certificate update
October 17, 2024

The Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. APNs will update the server certificates in sandbox on January 20, 2025, and in production on February 24, 2025. All developers using APNs will need to update their application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate.

To ensure a smooth transition and avoid push notification delivery failures, please make sure that both old and new server certificates are included in the Trust Store before the cut-off date for each of your application servers that connect to sandbox and production.

At this time, you don’t need to update the APNs SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple.

Hi Team, any update about this change? will it impact on push notification services.

@moin-khan-01 you can test yourself by setting APNS_USE_SANDBOX to True and sending a notification since their sandbox certificate was already changed, but as far as I know it won't break anything for people using this package.

@moin-khan-01 For what I see under the codebase there's no SSL/TLS validation in this package. unless apns2 does this under the hood we are ok. I've tested it pointing to sandbox and it worked fine so...
