Update existing app to support PUSH notifications?

Hi
Please can someone confirm this - I need to update an existing app (using an APP ID with a wildcard) to support PUSH notifications. For this I need to have a non-wildcard APP-ID. However now the question is that if I change the APP-ID to be something else, will the App Still update fine (the one using a Wildcard APP-ID). I don't want customers/users to pay for the app again! Please kindly clarify.
Thanks

Basically when you create a provisioning profile (dev/distribution), you need to associate that with an App ID. Since in the past all our apps were provisioned with a certificate that was tied to an App-ID that was something like com.blah.* we are now unable to use this App-ID for PUSH notifications.
Requirement for PUSH Notifications is to first setup an App-ID for PUSH. Here's where the problem is. If we create a new App-ID for PUSH, we will have to generate a new Distrib/Dev certificate and sign the Application with that certificate. If we do this, existing customers (I believe) will not be able to (1) update their app, OR (2) we won't be able to issue an update to an existing App since the Distrib Certs don't match (nor do the App-IDs) - at least that's my understanding.
I'm worried this all is going to go terribly wrong somewhere. Can someone who's already updated an existing app for PUSH confirm there's nothing to worry about?

  • Trying to update existing apps; will only prompt me for an old iTunes account that does not exist any more

    How do I get a prompt for my new account when updating existing apps? I had used one of my sons account for most of the apps on my iPhone. I have since move up to a iPhone 4S and created my own account to use iCloud.   But everytime I try to update the exiting apps I am prompted for a password to my sons account. I am logged on to iCloud with my new account at the same time.
    It looks like the apps retain some kind of tag to the original account used during download.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Change the account in the iPhones settings

  • Must I open FB, skype, and other IM apps to get push notification in iphone 4s?

    Must I open FB, skype, and other IM apps to get push notification in iphone 4s? Because I notice that once i close the apps, it will not send me message. I thought that is what "PUSH" means??

    ok, i saw a line saying "If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications."
    so, that means i must "open" the app in background in order to get push notification??
    what i mean by PUSH notification is by double clicking your home button, then press on the apps and CLOSE the app and yet you can get message from your friends. I think iphone cannot do that currently?

  • AIM app not sending push notifications

    My AIM app is not sending push notifications.  It was working just fine yesterday morning and when I signed onto the wifi at work I noticed it wasn't sending me notification while talking to a friend.
    I have IOS 6 (because I don't like IOS 7 and don't feel like updating to a system that I dislike).
    I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled (so yes, the app is up to date).
    I've checked push notifications in both the app itself and my system settings.
    I've restarted my ipod touch several times.
    I've signed off of my wifi connection and back on.
    I've basically done everytrhing I can think of to get it to work again and yet it is not.
    This is so frustrating because I miss messages while on other apps or just sitting around.

    I have had this problem on my personal wifi connection, work wifi and my friend's wifi connection and also my college's wifi.
    I have no other connections to try it on.  Plus, I want it to work on *my* connection.  Not someone else's.

  • Update on apps are seen in notification but nothing on the page

    There is a peculiar problem. My notification shows 12 updates for apps. But when I go to the page nothing is seen there. Please help

    Try this workaround
    App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
    Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

  • App testing phase: Push notifications are not getting delivered to certain devices (iphone 4S/ios7.0.4 and ios7.0.3 - Push never worked for these two devices for this app). Received OK responses from Apple PUSH services, but notifications not delivered

    We are testing an app at work and Push notifications are not getting delivered to certain devices (iphone 4S/ios7.0.4 and ios7.0.3 - Push never worked for these two devices for this app). Received OK responses from Apple PUSH services, but notifications not delivered to these tow devices.
    PUSH notification were delivered to some of the other iOS devices: (iPhone5 / iOS 6.1.4 and iPhone5 / iOS 7.0.3)

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • When and why is logon required to update existing apps?

    I am trying to automate the updating of apps in order to restrict my download bandwidth to overnight hours, by using the Windows program AutoHotKey. But I'm finding that while often times the process of identifying that Updates are available and downloading them doesn't require being logged-on to the Apple Store, at other times it does.
    What I would normally wish to do is to NOT be logged-on to the Apple Store all-the-time (under Store it will say Sign In...) but even if logged-out of the Store I can sometimes download updates without having to sign-in first (but then as I said sometimes I DO have to sign-in first).
    This behavior seems to be very inconsistent (honestly I would expect that Apple might require the one ALWAYS be logged-on to the Store to get app updates) and I wonder if anyone here has an understanding (or ideas) about this.

    Safari includes Webkit, on which other applications also rely. Hence the required restart.

  • Aol password not accepted how do I update existing apps?

    After downloading iOS5 my phone asked me to input apple id and I saw this as an opportunity to update from my aol account which I don't use anymore to a newer id. Since then everytime an app shows an update is available the phone still asks for the password for the aol screenname but will not accept the password and I cannot reset.

    i have this problem to. can anyone help?

  • HT1222 Cannot update existing apps or install new ones

    I have been having trouble UPDATING or even INSTALLING new apps.
    Is this because I have not installed the iOS 6.0.1 version?

    Probably not. What trouble? Describe what is happening. Error messages at all? The dreaded "waiting" icons?

  • IOS 7.0.3 upgrade killed Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications

    Facetime, iMessage and Push Notifications were working fine on my iPhone 4.
    Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 Facetime and iMessages cannot be activated because of 'Network error' and every app that supports 'Push Notifications' suggest to 'Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications' at start.
    Already tried to 'Reset as new phone' and restore from iCloud without any luck.
    Suggestions ?

    Ever since I got the 7.0.3 update on my iPhone 4 I get the "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network conection and try again". I can access icloud stuff using my apple ID fine elsewhere. I received iMessages on my laptop through the Messages app but anyone else who uses Messages has their iMessage sent to my laptop and not to my phone. I used to get the messages both at the same time.
    I've tried removed the locate iphone app, reset the network settings, rebooted the phone, reconnected to my wifi and synched with iTunes. Nothing has worked.
    I'm getting ready to restore the phone now in hopes that doing that works. Never had a problem with updates till now and while this is annoying at least my data is intact!

  • Itunes hookup for push notifications

    I updated my IPhone 4S to the IOS7. But now my IMessage and Facetime won't work. Also when I open up any App, a will get a pop up saying that I need to Connect to iTunes to use Push notifications and it will keep popping up no matter how mny times i push okay. Any suggestions?

    ataylor87,
    Yes, all apps that support push notifications have sound turned on.
    Specifically, I'm seeing alerts but no sound from things like Mint, Foursquare, and Facebook apps.
    (Although, Facebook just launched push notifications into the app, and those notifications are working intermittently.... but not with sound, at any rate.)

  • No sound for push notifications

    I've noticed recently that I'm no longer getting any sound when I receive a push notification. The alert itself comes through visually, but it's silent.
    Sound is otherwise working -- receiving telephone calls, SMS alerts, iPhone through the speaker, etc.
    Anyone seen this before?

  • LG G3 lollipop update - no app or email notifications while on WiFi

    After the lollipop update, while on my WiFi xfinity router, no apps or emails push notifications come through and does not update Facebook feed. I already did a factory reset on my LG G3 and reset my router to no effect. Please help

    I do not see how "advance WiFi calling has an impact on the issue with account syncing. I, and many others having an issue where applications, those native to android and third party apps, and not syncing automatically in the background when the phone is connected to WiFi.
    As a result, we are not receiving notifications for many applications while our phone are connected to WiFi. This is an issue with devices that have been upgraded to Lollipop. In order to receive updates from applications, you either have to open the application and force it to sync OR disconnect from WiFi.
    I've seen this to be called the "WiFi syncing bug" that was at issue in lollipop prior to the release, but was not fixed.
