Upcoming Apple push notification service certificate change

Contents

  • What's changing?
  • What this means for Expo push service users

Apple has announced an upcoming change to their Apple Push Notification service (APNs) server certificates. We want to assure Expo Push Service users that Expo Push Service is already compatible with the change, and no action is required on your part.

What's changing?

Apple is updating their APNs server certificates with the following timeline:

  • Sandbox environment: January 20, 2025
  • Production environment: February 24, 2025

The change involves updating to include a new trusted server certificate SHA-2 Root: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate.

What this means for Expo push service users

The bottom line: You don't need to do anything.

Expo's trust store already includes the new root certificate and our Push Service is prepared for the transition.

Thank you for using Expo! Please reach out to us in Discord if you have any questions.
