Cannot send push notifications via pushsharp on adhoc distribution

Question

I'm using PushSharp to send iOS notifications to an application.

I've managed to make it work in a development environment following the example, but when I try to send them in a production environment I get the following error:

InnerException = {"No se pudo realizar una llamada a SSPI; consulte la excepción interna."
{"SSL Stream Failed to Authenticate as Client"}

Here's the code:

 var config = new ApnsConfiguration(ApnsConfiguration.ApnsServerEnvironment.Sandbox, "path/to/file", "MyPassword", false);


        // Create a new broker
        var apnsBroker = new ApnsServiceBroker (config);

        // Wire up events
        apnsBroker.OnNotificationFailed += (notification, aggregateEx) => {

            aggregateEx.Handle (ex => {

                // See what kind of exception it was to further diagnose
                if (ex is ApnsNotificationException) {
                    var notificationException = (ApnsNotificationException)ex;

                    // Deal with the failed notification
                    var apnsNotification = notificationException.Notification;
                    var statusCode = notificationException.ErrorStatusCode;

                    Console.WriteLine ("Apple Notification Failed: ID={apnsNotification.Identifier}, Code={statusCode}");

                } else {
                    // Inner exception might hold more useful information like an ApnsConnectionException          
                    Console.WriteLine ("Apple Notification Failed for some unknown reason : {ex.InnerException}");
                }

                // Mark it as handled
                return true;
            });
        };

        apnsBroker.OnNotificationSucceeded += (notification) => {
            Console.WriteLine ("Apple Notification Sent!");
        };

       // var i = JObject.FromObject(push);
        // Start the broker
        apnsBroker.Start ();

        apnsBroker.QueueNotification(new ApnsNotification
            {
                DeviceToken = "somedevicetokenthatiusetotest",

                Payload = JObject.Parse("{\"aps\":{\"alert\":\"My custom alert\",\"badge\":\"1\"}, \"date\": \"2016-06-07T01:38:00.541Z\"}"),
            });

        // Stop the broker, wait for it to finish  
        // This isn't done after every message, but after you're
        // done with the broker
        apnsBroker.Stop ();

I'm pretty sure that It has something to do with the certificates and how do I generate them. What I've done so far:

Create a new distribution certificate
Create a new APS production certificate
Create an adhoc distribution provisioning profile
Install all on my mac
Archived the app using the distribution certificate code signing and the adhoc provisioning profile.
Export it for adhoc distribution
Install the app on an authorized device
Exported a .p12 file from the certificate private key with a proper password.

Did someone experience issues with it?

Well, I've finally made it work by exporting just the certificate as a .p12 file, and then using that file with PushSharp.
