APNs Auth Key cannot be download

My team created max limit for APNs Auth Key in developer portal I cannot download any of them as the downlod button is dimmed !

Anyone has any idea why is that? and how can i use it without expiring any of them and create a new one ?

Solution

  • APNs Auth Key .p8 CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE from Apple's developer portal, so only download it when you are ready to use and store securely!

    If you need the p.8 file and you have lost it, you have to revoke the existing one and create a new one.

    Since Apple allows only two such files to exist at any time on the account, it is recommended that all apps on the account share the same APNs Key. This works as the key is per account and not per app.

    The remaining slot ideally should be kept free and only used when for some reason the existing key should be revoked. Then a new key is added on the account and the old one kept alive until all apps in the account update to the new key.
