1Did you read the accepted answer: "The push certificate cannot be renewed. You have to create a new one." – Simon Nov 02 '17 at 15:54

yes but how to do that I mean I know how to generate it but do I need to revoke it and then change it? – LeTadas Nov 02 '17 at 15:54

1Don't touch your old one yet. Generate a new one, and then update your push server with the new p12. Once you've verified your server is sending pushes with the new p12 you are safe to ditch the old one – Simon Nov 02 '17 at 15:57

- Connect to your Apple Developer account
- Go to "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles"
- In the "Identifiers" section, go to "App IDs"
- Select your app
- Click on "Edit"
- For each of your push certificates, in the section "Create an additional certificate to use for this App ID.", click on "Crete certificate..."
- Do the usual procedure to generate the certificate request(s), upload, download the certificate(s).
- Install it/them on your server or push gateway
- Once you are using the new certificate(s), you can revoke the old one if you want to, but it will expire automatically anyway.
The trick is to get to the certificate through the App IDs rather than through the cert itself.
Alternative: go to the Certificates section, and click on the "+" button to create a new one, then follow the steps.
