Hi,

I had a questin regarding certificate generation.

Suppose I had an application for which I would like to test in two different versions.

First one is version without having APNS implemented .
Second is with APNS implemented.

My question is can I have same provision profile for the both apps with APNS enabled or does it conflict with different OS version.

I would like to know clearly, what does the role DEVICE TOKEN play in implementing the APNS for an APP.

I googled, but didnt understood any thing clearly.

How the provider can get the device token of its current users?

In regards to APNS , I found following statement from the apple documents. I would like to know what does it means.

" Providers should periodically query the feedback service to get
the list of device tokens for their applications, each of which is identified by its topic. Then, after verifying that the application hasn’t recently been re-registered on the identified devices, aproviders hould stop sending notifications to these devices. "

Also following are the two quests i have
How to get the device token from the user to the provider??
How to access the feed back service that APNS provides as per the above statement?

In regard to implementing APNS, I googled and stuck with following doubts.

i) Most of the providers are using PHP , and in that one of the argument is device token. So from where to get this device token .
ii) If I have to send the notification to multiple user do I have run the php file for different device tokens.
iii) how Feedback services can be implemented
iv) Does the UNLOCKED Iphones support every features of an application, which normal Iphone supports.

I had a doubt , may be a silly but reqd clarification.

Generation of the SSL Certificates for the APNS Implementation should be downloaded on the APNS Provider server or can be downloaded on other MAC AIR (laptop) and then installed on the server provider system by transferring the .pem file to it.

I read some where that it would create an error while connecting to sandbox, while googling.

Do anyone know how to install certificates on the NON-MAC-OS WEB servers for implementing the APNS for an application to be submitted to Appstore.

What I mean to say is, Is it possible to download the .pem certificate on the one system and transfer it to the Provider server and install it there.
