This section helps you troubleshoot APNs issues.

The APNs certificate does not match the CSR. Provide the correct APNs file (.pem) or submit a new CSR.

Description

You may receive an error message when you try to register the APNs certificate if you did not upload the most recently signed CSR file from
BlackBerry
to the
Apple
Push Certificates Portal.

Possible solution

If you downloaded multiple CSR files from
BlackBerry
, only the last one that you downloaded is valid. If you know which CSR is the most recent, return to the
Apple
Push Certificates Portal and upload it. If you are not sure which CSR is the most recent, obtain a new one from
BlackBerry
, then return to the
Apple
Push Certificates Portal and upload it.
