Generate aps_developer.p12 for JavaPNS
Download and Upzip openssl-0.9.8k_WIN32.zip
Goto windows dos command mode
// Convert aps_developer.cer to aps_developer.pem
openssl x509 -in aps_developer.cer -inform DER -out
aps_developer.pem -outform PEM
// Generate Push_Noenc.pem from PushChatCert.p12
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out Push_Noenc.pem -in
PushChatCert.p12
// Output aps_developer.p12 for JavaPNS
openssl pkcs12 -export -in aps_developer.pem -inkey Push_Noenc.pem -certfile PushChat.certSigningRequest
-name "aps_developer" -out aps_developer.p12
Obtain Device token from iOS
Add the following code in the method of AppDelegate.didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
IOS Code:
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotificationTypes:(UIRemoteNotificationTypeAlert
| UIRemoteNotificationTypeSound | UIRemoteNotificationTypeBadge)];
To setup registerForRemoteNotificationTypes for app to
receive notification message.
To extract device token by the following codes:
IOS Code:
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
NSString *token = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", deviceToken];
NSLog(@"My token is:%@", token);
}
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)app didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error {
NSString *error_str = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", error];
NSLog(@"Failed to get token, error:%@", error_str);
}
iOS device needs to implement two features: one is to
register app as receiving notification type, the other is to send its token to
backend JavaPNS via HTTP or TCP protocol.
Setup JavaPNS Sample code
Please add the following .jar library in your project:
1. bcprov-jdk15-146.jar
2. log4j-1.2.15.jar
3. JavaPNS_2.2.jar (
unzip JavaPNS_2.2_complete.zip )
4. Compile the source code : PushTest.java
(PS: Or simply import the testSample code by eclipse
and run it)
JavaPNS needs certificate aps_developer.p12,
and iOS token id to accomplish the function of sending Push Messages.
The following codes below detail how to make it work.
public static void main(String[] args) {
// iOS Private key as a p12 file exported by MAC
String keynotePath = "aps_developer.p12";
// iOS developer certificate password exported by MAC
String password = "Your Pasword";
// iOS device Token id
String token =
"Your Device Token";
// Test environment: Production or Sandbox(simulation)
String environment = "simulation";
// Push message mode: Simple or complex or thread
//
Simple: Simple msg, complex: complex message, thread: Add multiple threads
support
String pushMode = "complex";
// Number of received devices
String deviceNum = "1";
// Number of sender threads
String threadNum = "1";
/* Initialize Log4j to print logs to console */
configureBasicLogging();
/* Push an alert */
try {
pushTest(keynotePath, password, token,
environment, pushMode, deviceNum, threadNum);
} catch (CommunicationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (KeystoreException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
How to generate iOS development certificate for Push
Server ?
// For Development Environment
// Convert aps_developer.cer to aps_developer.pem
openssl x509 -in aps_development.cer -inform DER -out aps_developer.pem -outform PEM
// Generate Push_Noenc.pem from PushChatCert.p12
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out Push_Noenc.pem -in PushChatCert.p12 // Input your password
// Output aps_developer.p12 for JavaPNS
openssl pkcs12 -export -in aps_developer.pem -inkey Push_Noenc.pem -certfile Push.certSigningRequest -name "aps_developer" -out aps_developer.p12
How to generate iOS Production certificate for Push
Server?
// For Production
// Convert aps_developer.cer to aps_developer.pem
openssl x509 -in aps_production.cer -inform DER -out aps_production.pem -outform PEM
// Generate Push_Noenc.pem from PushChatCert.p12
openssl pkcs12 -nocerts -out Push_Noenc.pem -in PushChatCert.p12
// Output aps_developer.p12 for JavaPNS
openssl pkcs12 -export -in aps_production.pem -inkey Push_Noenc.pem -certfile Push.certSigningRequest -name "aps_production" -out aps_production.p12
