Testflight - Universal Push Notification Client SSL Certificate - BadDeviceToken

Question

I'm to trying to test my push notifications while utilizing TestFlight.

I can successfully receive a push notification on a device when I deploy directly to it from Xcode. However when I deploy the app to the device via TestFlight (as an external tester) I get "BadDeviceToken".

I have created a "Universal Push Notification Client SSL Certificate" and followed these apple instructions to the letter (I think). As per link:

"The client SSL certificate that is generated is a universal certificate that allows your app to connect to both the development and production environments."

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

how do you send notifications? What gives you 'BadDeviceToken' error? — paiv
For testing purposes I am sending notifications via a unit test. I am using pushy. I copy the token that is returned post app install into the test. — Hurricane

ok, this was my silly error. I am using Pushy.

You specify the environment like so:

apnsClient.connect(ApnsClient.PRODUCTION_APNS_HOST);

Unfortunately I had specified DEVELOPMENT_APNS_HOST before. It would seem that when you use TestFlight you have to specify the production apns host.

Thanks for everyone that looked over the question and answered.
