APNS adapter failure -- cannot find valid connection

[tylerarnold]

I receive the following error: "ERR! parse-server-push-adapter APNS cannot find vaild connection for "
when trying to debug push notifications on a local server environment. Note that with the same .p12 key /certificate, I can successfully push notifications to APNS and the same iPhone via a php script running locally.

Environment Setup

parse server 2.27 running on OSX

Steps to reproduce

configure with one installation from app, start server locally with pfx config pointed to .p12 file.
start a APNS push via curl or the parse-dashboard.

I figured this out. my p12 key had a password, which was handled fine in my php script but I forgot about it when I started using it when configuring parse server. Making a version of the p12 without a password fixes the issue.

By the way, you can and should have a password on your p12. Just provided it in the adapter options

new ParseServer({
  ....
  "push": {
    "adapter": new PushAdapter({
       ....
       "ios": [{
          "pfx": 'your-certificate.p12',
          "topic": 'your-app',
          "passphrase": 'your-passphrase',
          "production": true
      ]}
  })
})
