Parse-server: ERR! parse-server-push-adapter APNS cannot find vaild connection

[funkenstrahlen]

My parse server log is filled with ERR! parse-server-push-adapter APNS cannot find vaild connection errors. Push Notifications reach devices though. This seems to happen for devices that uninstalled the app and are now no longer reachable.

• [X] You've met the prerequisites.
• [x] You're running the latest version of Parse Server.
• [x] You've searched through existing issues. Chances are that your issue has been reported or resolved before.

Environment Setup

    push: {
        android: { senderId: '...', apiKey: '...' }, // setting android keys empty to remove error
        ios: {
          pfx: __dirname + process.env.APN_PUSH_P12_PATH, // The filename of private key and certificate in PFX or PKCS12 format from disk  
          bundleId: process.env.APN_BUNDLE_ID, // The bundle identifier associate with your app
          production: false // Specifies which environment to connect to: Production
        }
    }

Steps to reproduce

• Install app on device. Does register to parse server
• Uninstall app
• send push notification
  

  Expected Behaviour

Devices that are no longer reachable get removed from the database.

[YuanForWork]

Met the same problem.

Sending notification to android is okay but iOS is not.

Anybody have solutions for that?

[flessard]

Same problem here !

[flessard]

I fix the problem by removing

production: false

If this line is present, i got "APNS cannot find vaild connection" whatever if i set true or false

Strange!!!!

[florianthompson]

Did you fix the problem?
Otherwise I would try to put the bundle identifier in quotes like: bundleId: 'process.env.APN_BUNDLE_ID':
I hope it helps

[funkenstrahlen]

The problem is still present. I did not try setting production: false as this is happening in my production environment.

The make it clear: Push notification do get send out fine. I just do not know why this error appears. I _think_ the error is caused by devices which do not have the app installed any more?

[flovilmart]

@funkenstrahlen that may be possible. I'm closing this issue here for now, it is still problematic please reopen on parse-server-push-adapter.

[funkenstrahlen]

moved the issue as you suggested

[KevinLaity]

I found that (as flessard notes above) if I don't specify "production" at all, push notifications start working with either dev or production certificate.

Maybe it's meant only to be used if you're specifying an array of certificates?

The problem is that examples like the one here ask you to include it regardless!
