Aws-cli: SNS create-platform-application

[zen4ever]

When creating a new platform application, what would be the recommended way to supply the credentials from files?
Like if I have a certificate and private key in .pem files

 app.crt.pem
 app.key.pm

So var I've tried:

aws sns create-platform-application --name app-development --platform APNS --attributes PlatformPrincipal=app.crt.pem,PlatformCredential=app.key.pem

aws sns create-platform-application --name app-development --platform APNS --attributes PlatformPrincipal=file://app.crt.pem,PlatformCredential=file://app.key.pem

aws sns create-platform-application --name app-development --platform APNS --attributes PlatformPrincipal=$(cat app.crt.pem),PlatformCredential=$(cat app.key.pem)

The last one doesn't work probaby because bash replaces newlines with spaces

All I'm getting is:

ClientError: A client error (InvalidParameter) occurred when calling the CreatePlatformApplication operation: Invalid parameter: PlatformPrincipal not valid.

Could you look at your --debug logs? It should show you what is being sent over the wire. If you wish to post them here, please use dummy files.

Thanks, I've figured it out, the way I'm doing it is creating a shell script, which assigns file contents to variables, and then putting the variables in parameters

@zen4ever Can you share your script for how you solved it in the end?

If anyone runs into this issue from google (like I did), my solution :

Example: ./snsPlatformAppCreate.sh my-app APNS ./private.pkey ./cert.pem

snsPlatformAppCreate.sh

sns_name="$1"
platform="$2"
credential=`cat "$3"`
principal=`cat "$4"`

aws sns create-platform-application --platform "$platform" --name "$sns_name" --attributes PlatformCredential="$credential",PlatformPrincipal="$principal"
