2. Go to "Capabilities" tab and select “ON“ for Push notifications feature

3. Generating a Certificate Request
You should generate a certificate request file so that you can use it to request for a development SSL certificate later on.
- Launch the Keychain Access application in your Mac OS X:
- Select Keychain Access → Certificate Assistant → Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority:
- Enter the information required and check the ‘Saved to disk’ option. Click Continue:
- Save the certificate request using the suggested name and click Save. Click Done in the next screen:

- A wizard will appear. Click Continue:
- Click the Choose File button to locate the Certificate Request file that you have saved earlier (Generating a Certificate Request section). Click Generate:
- Your SSL Certificate will now be generated. Click Done to continue:

5. Make APNS certificates
- Now you can download certificate:
- The SSL Certificate that you download is named aps_developer_identity.cer. Double-click on it to install it in the Keychain Access application. The SSL certificate will be used by your provider application so that it can contact the APNs to send push notifications to your applications.

- Expand this option then right click on “Apple Development iOS Push Services” → Export “Apple Development iOS Push Services …″. Save this as apns-dev-cert.p12 file somewhere you can access it. Enter the password for exporting (it can be empty):
- Enter your usual admin password for your computer to confirm and finalize the export process:

6. Making a .pem file
- Open Terminal on your Mac computer and Go to the folder where you downloaded the files e.g. Desktop.
- Convert the .cer file into a .pem file using following command:
    $ openssl x509 -in aps_development.cer -inform der -out MessageTestCert.pem
   MessageTestCert.pem file will be generated.
- Convert the private key’s .p12 file into a .pem file using following command:
    $
