Please note that before you finish successfully this setup, this service will show the Inactive sign. While inactive you will not be able to send iOS notifications at all.

Using a SSL Certificate

You will also need to provide your app's bundle identifier (your app identifier must be registered in the same team where you've generated the .p8 file):

Then you should also provide the team identifier:

You will also need to provide the auth key identifier (usually the .p8 file name contains this identifier or you can retrieve it in the key detail page):

Finally you should click in the Save button to make sure you store these changes:

Once you have successfully uploaded the auth key, we will display something like this:

At this point your service will also show as Active in the Services list and you are now able to start sending remote notifications in iOS.

At any point in time you can remove a certificate/auth key or upload a new one.
