In order to get APNs certificate for being a provider of push notification for an app, do I need to pay ?

There are very poor instructions or how to create the certificate. The instructions are nice for creating
of CSR etc. But no where is there any information of what type of developer you should be to get this.
One outside link unrelated to apple says you should be an enterprise developer and paying
$299/year !!! for this.
This really and totally ***** and apple is just looting if that's a requirement.
They can charge this for enterprises or companies. I am an individual user and would like to
just have some push notifications sent using my own home server.
If I go to https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/ (which redirects to another page prompting for login)
and I login with my free developer account, it says that your apple ID must be associated with
an email address etc (which is a wrong/irrelevant message).
Does anyone know how to get a push certificate ?
Is payment required absolutely ? Or can it be done without paying ?
If payment is required, how do we encourage or make apple make it free ?

http://www.networkworld.com/news/2012/020612-mdm-apple-255756.html says that for push and developer there are different requirements.
Also, http://www.air-watch.com/downloads/GenerateAPNsCertificate.pdf says that
"This does not have to be an Apple Developer Account. It can be any AppleID."
But still with free apple ID I don't see anything that let's me create a certificate

  • I have created an iPhone app using xCode and am now ready to publish it. Do I have to sign up to the $99/yr program in order to get a certificate?

    I have created an iPhone app using xCode and am now ready to publish it. Do I have to sign up to the $99/yr program in order to get a certificate? I keep getting the error message: CodeSign Error: code signing is required...although the app tests fine on the simulator. Does this mean that I need to pay the $99 to create the app or do you only need to pay if you want it published on iTunes?
    Any advice will be gratefully received.

  • Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx

    Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx? With text messaging, you will see a badge icon, but I wasn't sure if you could do that for social networks, too.

        @cmabbott85,
    I can definitely understand how important it can be to get your Facebook or Twitter notifications on your phone.
    As @rcshnoor mentioned, each app does have the option to turn the notification on or off. You need to launch the App and go into the Menu. Then go to App Settings and make sure notifications are checked.

  • I have problem whit push notifications for applications

    my problem is whit "push notifications" for the applications to my iphone 3gs     youtube or something else is open , but have message -- log in itunes(i am entered) and i can push only "Ok" button

    please answered simply because my english si very bad and dont understand many words
    thankyou!                                                                                 

    Hello vampovec,
    If connected to Wi-Fi, you may need to verify that the following ports are open in order for Push Notifications to work.
    TCP port 5223 (used by devices to communicate to the APNs servers) 
    TCP port 2195 (used to send notifications to the APNs)
    TCP port 2196 (used by the APNs feedback service)
    TCP Port 443 (used as a fallback on Wi-fi only, when devices are unable to communicate to APNs on port 5223)
    Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs)

  • How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

    I'm using gmail. Prompt respond for mails is very urgent for me.
    How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

    I switched from a BB to an iPhone a few days ago and I knew I was going to miss the QWERTY keyboard but then I also discovered that my GMail doesn't 'push' to my iPhone. I was used to 'push' for all mail accounts on the BB. I also missed being able to personalize text, email, and phone tones for individuals.
    I tried the Gmail app for iOS and it does deliver Gmail to the iPhone app quickly but the text is tiny and when it is a web page it's almost impossible to read.
    So, I have worked out a kludge to get around these problems.
    I added my exisiting Gmail account to the iPhone.
    Hotmail does push to iOS 7 so I created a Outlook account (could be hotmail or Live) using the web browser.
    I added the hotmail account to the iPhone. I basically use this to give fast notification of important emails on my iPhone.
    On my macbook email client I created a rule that 'redirects' incoming mail to the hotmail account. The 'Redirect' is important since the email will show up in the hotmail account on the iPhone as coming from the original sender and you can then respond to the original sender from the iPhone, though the sender will see it as coming from the hotmail account.
    The other downside is that you will get a second copy of the email in the gmail inbox on the iPhone, probably 15 minutes later.
    If you don't want all of the mail being redirected you can create a 'redirect' group in the Address book and then adjust the rule in Apple mail to only redirect the mail to the hotmail account if the sender is in the redirect group. You can add and delete contacts from this group depending upon which ones you consider to be important. You will still get two copies of the email on the iPhone, one in the hotmail inbox and one in the gmail inbox.
    You can prevent this from happening temporarily by turning off, but not deleting, the gmail account on the iPhone. You could then edit the emails on the Apple email client before turning the gmail back on in the iPhone.
    And finally if you use the VIP feature in email on the iPhone you can create a list of VIP contacts and then assign a different notification sound for the VIP's. So in effect important contacts mail will be redirect to the iPhone for quick notification and very, very important contacts will have a different notification sound.
    I'm basically using the Hotmail account as a notification  tool and basically delete all the emails in it since the original copy will be in the gmail account.
    And best of all it's all free, except for the bandwidth.

  • Push Notifications for Iphone 3GS 6.1.3

    Hello!
    I'm not receiving push notificationcs from apps like facebook, whatsapp, Instagram, twitter etc.
    Just mail and messages work fine. The set up is ok, but I don't get notifications at all.
    Any Help?
    Cheers

    Did you ever jailbreak it? I had the exact same problem with my 3GS. Even if you un-jailbroke it you see the push notification certificates are nulled or something like that. best way to fix it really is to jailbreak it again and follow the instructions here http://www.beijingiphonerepair.com/hack/fix-for-push-notifications-facetime-and- imessage-for-jailbroken-iphone-on-ios-6-x/
    I did this and now I get push notifications for everything again
    Hope this helped

  • Push notifications for specific apps not working even though the badge updates (Facebook, Google  etc.)

    So this has been happening for months now. I was expecting iOS 5 to fix it, but it hasn't. Push notifications for specific apps do not work. Some come through just fine, but Facebook and Google+ in particular don't work correctly. Facebook push notifications seem to work when the notification is generated from an action performed on a mobile device (ie: someone writes on my wall from another iPhone); if they do the same thing on the desktop, the notification doesn't seem to come through.
    As for Google+, I've never seen a single push notification come through as it should, even though I've seen other iPhones with the same app reciving these notifications with no issue.
    This is particularly strange because the badge on the app icon usually updates (though it feels like fetch, not push), but the notifications simply don't make it into the notification center (or on the lock screen as they should). As I said, this has been happening for months, long before iOS 5, and the problem has persisted now that I'm running iOS 5.
    I've checked and rechecked all notifiation settings for these apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them. I've called Apple support and they couldn't offer me any help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
    Thanks for your time.

    I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems.  I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
    I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well.  I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
    I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix.  I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
    So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account.  I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
    Any thoughts?

  • I've turned off push notifications for certain apps but the push notices still appear. Any idea why?

    Hi there,
    Apologies if this has been asked before.
    My issue is not with notifactions not working, exactly the opposite. I have turned off notifications for several of the apps on my phone, but notifications still appear.
    Is this a known problem? The main offender is an app called FreeAppADay.

  • Question about push notifications for apps affect on battery life?

    I've noticed that after installing certain "Push Notification Enabled" apps that my iPhone's battery drains very quickly even when said apps aren't running. I've read that if an app makes extensive use of push notifications that it can drain the battery, but I haven't received any notifications from said apps. Does simply having a number of push enabled apps installed drain the battery cause faster than normal battery drain?
    I don't really care about the push notifications for many push enabled apps, but I do like to have it enabled for certain ones. Would disabling notifications for all but the apps I use actually save battery life? I would think that since push messages are sent from the app owners server to Apple's push servers to the phone, that disabling notifications on the phone for an app or even deleting the app itself would not prevent the actual data from being pushed to the phone. In other words does disabling notifications (or deleting the app) actually prevent the data from being pushed to the iPhone or does it simply tell the iPhone to ignore the pushed data? The former would not increase battery life while the later would.

    I've learned that it's not the number of apps that use push notification that drains the battery, but the number of apps that actively use it to send messages.
    If push is turned on, the battery will drain slightly faster since the phone needs to maintain a constant 3G (or GSM) connection open, but no data is actually sent or received unless you receive a push notification.
    In the case of push email, a push notification triggers the mail app to make an outbound IMAP4 connection. Depending on how often you receive email, this can decrease the battery life. If you receive lots of emails every few minutes, using 15 minute fetch will be more battery efficient. If you receive emails every few hours, push is more efficient.
    For apps, it doesn't really matter since the apps can't initiate a network connection unless they are running. I'm not sure if app servers constantly sending push notifications when the notification for those apps is turned off drains the battery any faster or not. From what I've read when push notification are turned off for an app, Apple's push servers will tell that app's servers to not perform a push. In other words, Apple won't push app notifications to the phone for apps where notifications are disabled or the app isn't installed.

  • No push notification for cards app

    I have been using the cards app on my iphone 4S and I love it. The one feature I was most looking forward to is not working for me though. The push notification when my card was delivered. I have it set up to do so correctly in the notifications settings, but nothing. I have delivered 3 cards and have not seen any confirmation. Does it just not work, or is there something I am not doing?

    I'm having the exact same issue. I paid for a card and I was emailed when it shipped but no push notification letting me know it delivered. It may not have delivered! My notifications are also enabled for Cards.. It also does not appear in the notification center either. I hope this gets fixed. It definitely isn't performing as advertised in the keynote, when it was released.

  • Push Notification for Android application

  • Push notifications for YouTube subscriptions?

    I frequently use my iPhone and iPad for keeping up to date with all the channels i am subscribed to on YouTube. The trouble is, I find the official YouTube app is so awful for, ironically, watching videos on (the quality constantly fluctuates even when on a strong, fast fibre optic line) that I don't bother to use it anymore. One thing it does decently is showing channel subscription activity though, but I still think it's missing something - push notifications for subscription activity.
    My question is, is it possible to receive push notifications for new channel uploads using RSS, which can then show up in notification centre? Or anything of the sort which will allow me to receive subscription updates on my iPhone and iPad? I know you can get emial updates for subscriptions but that's really messy for my inbox, and my iCloud storage space is running out fast!
    Thanks in advance

    Im madly waiting for that. For me, after 5 generations of blackberries; this is the biggest downsize of the iphone vs. a blackberry. With an unique OS, the iphone could be the best, not just phone; but the best electronic device ever!
    Apple needs to fix that before the Bold, Storm and HTC releases. If not potential customers will go on other directions. Each time apple release a nice application or firmware, we the customers; start to post about it everywhere... That's free advertising...

  • My Iphone wont send push notifications for the app Telegram, what do I do to fix it?

    Hey gingertodd0911,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This article has information that may help you resolve the issue with no push notifications for that app on your iPhone 5s.
    About Notifications on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Not getting notifications for a specific app
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you’re not getting notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Go to Settings > Notifications to verify that the app supports notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, make sure that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Make sure you’re signed in to your Apple ID.
    If you’ve recently installed an app or restored a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.
    So long,
    -Jason
