How do I make my debug app version receive production push notifications on iOS?

Question

My server is sporting only one version of sending push notifications, and it has my production (release) push certificate.

How do I test the notifications on my debug de

Answer 1

A little late to the party, but even when all the other answers are correct, they don't really answer your question.

The answer is: You cannot test production APNS with a debug build.

Debug builds will always get sandbox APNS tokens.

Release builds (ad-hoc or app store) will always get production APNS tokens.

The logic behind that is, in order to debug an app you need to sign with a debug certificate and provisioning profile. That provisioning profile determines what APNS endpoint your app connects to.
