Manage APNs certificate for iOS devices

The Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) establishes a secure connection between the apps and the iOS devices for propagating information. For enrolling iOS devices in Zoho One, you will need a certificate generated through the APNs certificate portal.

Prerequisites

  1. A company-specific Apple ID, called Corporate Apple ID, is recommended for creating APNs certificate. This will reduce the consequences of an employee leaving the organization after creating APNs certificate using their personal Apple ID. Create a corporate Apple account
  2. Safari/Firefox/Chrome is recommended by Apple to access the APNs certificate portal.

Configure APNs certificate

The APNs certificate is valid for one year from its day of creation.

  11. Click Download to download the new Apple-signed APNs certificate.
  12. Go back to Zoho One, then click Next.
  13. Enter the Corporate Apple ID and Expiry Notification Emails. A notification will be sent to the expiry notification email addresses everyday for 3 months before the APNs certificate expires.
  14. Upload the new Apple-signed APNs certificate.
