Question

Answer 1

If you use Firebase, you have to add in:

• TestFlight:

  -(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
      [[FIRInstanceID instanceID] setAPNSToken:deviceToken type:FIRInstanceIDAPNSTokenTypeSandbox]; 
  }
  

• Production:

  -(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken {
      [[FIRInstanceID instanceID] setAPNSToken:deviceToken type:FIRInstanceIDAPNSTokenTypeProd]; 
  }
  

Answer 2

if you used GCM. In Development:-

_registrationOptions = @{kGGLInstanceIDRegisterAPNSOption:deviceToken,
                             kGGLInstanceIDAPNSServerTypeSandboxOption:@YES};

In Distribution:-

_registrationOptions = @{kGGLInstanceIDRegisterAPNSOption:deviceToken,
                             kGGLInstanceIDAPNSServerTypeSandboxOption:@NO};

Answer 3

For Firebase try this:

#if DEBUG
    Messaging.messaging().setAPNSToken(apnsToken, type: .sandbox)
#else
    Messaging.messaging().setAPNSToken(apnsToken, type: .prod)
#endif

Answer 4

1. You need to use production certificate for testflight build.
2. Also need to remove sanbox (sandbox mode) from push notification url in push sending script.

Answer 5

For TestFlight, use

1. Production certificate
2. "gateway.push.apple.com" at the server(back end job)

Answer 6

Please ensure that you have set FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled to YES in info.plist file.
