iOS: Transitioning to Token-Based Configuration for APNs

Switching from a certificate-based (.p12) APNs connection to a token-based (.p8 key) one does not require any changes to your users' device tokens. Token-based configuration is also required for Live Activities.

How do I migrate?

Follow the iOS token-based configuration guide. You will need the Key ID and the .p8 signing key file from your Apple Developer account, plus your Apple Team ID and the app's Bundle ID. In the Control Panel, open Configure Platforms and connect iOS with Token-based manual configuration.

Use the same Team ID, Bundle ID and Gateway (Sandbox or Production) as in your current certificate-based configuration.

What is the impact on my setup?

The change takes effect as soon as you save the new configuration in Pushwoosh. Compatibility problems are unlikely because the change only affects how Pushwoosh authenticates with APNs.

How do I check that it works?

After updating the configuration, send a test push to a small segment or to your test devices. Then open Message history, find the notification and check its delivery report for the number of successful sends and any error messages.
