Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

My code was working fine with certificate and suddenly it stooped working with handshake failure.

We finally found the problem is when certificate is out side war file(some local folder.)

1) first test with apns_test (node test) if this will send test notification then you have problem with security configuration.

Finally put certificate with in the war file. if you are testing out side folder then you might face this problem.

This work with me when I put certificate with in the war file.
