Hi,
Firstly thanks for this package, saving us devs countless hours (or days & weeks!)
However there may be a concerning issue here
(essentially a yearly time bomb for all applications using Parse Push Adapter)
I have both development & production cert configured Parse Push, that was deployed in production
Upon expiry of the Development cert, the Production deployment went down
Embarrassingly, it stayed down for 3 whole days...
Yes, I had included Development cert in Production deployment
(probably a mistake but has been working fine for a whole year until now)
developer.apple.com:
As you can see, Development cert expires at about 1 month earlier than Production (see the 2021 expiry ones)
Development cert for 2020 has already expired and disappeared from above
Problem is, I did receive email notification of expiry, but for Production cert only!
Because parse-server-push-adapter triggers a crash also on Development cert which expires 1 month before the Production cert,
this renders the Production cert expiry notification useless (in my case at least)
I have commented out Development cert in production as a quick fix
then finally renewed the Production cert while leaving Development cert disabled
Conclusion:
Perhaps expiry of Development Cert should not crash but only warn in console log (or even better, set up email notification)
Note in Documentation or remove/disabled Development cert in Production?
In my case the instance was down during the weekends so it's not as severe but I think this is important to note for other developers/applications
Best,
Nickson
