[📚] Certificate Update

[petrnymsa]

We've got email from Apple stating

As we announced in October, the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. APNs will update the server certificates in sandbox on January 20, 2025, and in production on February 24, 2025. To continue using APNs without interruption, you’ll need to update your application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate....

To ensure a smooth transition and avoid push notification delivery failures, please make sure that both old and new server certificates are included in the Trust Store before the cut-off date for each of your application servers that connect to sandbox and production. At this time, you don’t need to update the APNs SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple.

Do we need to do anything on our site if we are using Firebase Messaging?

Hi @petrnymsa - as far as I'm aware and according to Firebase team member, you don't have to do anything: https://groups.google.com/g/firebase-talk/c/KM9qydwykyg/m/V130qhduAQAJ?pli=1

I think this update only applies if you handle push notifications yourself. In this case, Firebase handles push notifications so it is up to them to handle certificate updates.
