Web Push - can we avoid creating an APNS certificate?

[tamara_unetic]

We are in the process of implementing the web push channel and are asking ourselves, if we can avoid creating an APNS certificate allthogether. The amount of website visitors via the Safari browser is extremely low and we're not part of the Apple Developer program.

Did anyone activate the web push channel without the apns certificate?

Hello tamara_unetic,

APNS (Apple Push Notification Service) is required for sending push messages to Safari browser - this is documented in the help as well:

=> Web Push - APNS authentication

Push messages for other browsers, like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, require the VAPID to be added.

best regards,
Johannes
