I'm trying to create a certificate for Production iOS Push Services. Instead I get an Apple Push Services. How can I create a dedicated Apple Production iOS Push Services certificate?

The top certificate is what I used to get. The bottom one is what I now get.

enter image description here

I use Pusher application to test my push notifications certificate and it cannot read the p12 of the new Apple Push Services.

Apple have changed the name of the certificate that is issued. You can now use the same certificate for both development and production. While you can still request a development only certificate you can no longer request a production only certificate.

Since the purpose of the certificate is no longer production only Apple has changed the common name to Apple Push Services. The functionality of the certificate is not affected.

Unfortunately services that validate the CN of the certificate may reject this new name. There is nothing you can do about this until the service updates its verification code. For example, Parse.com had this issue a few days ago but their verification code has now been updated and they will now accept the new certificate name.
