I'm receiving this error only when trying to register for remote notifications using UserNotifications framework. When using PushKit everything works ok.

    dispatch_queue_t mainQueue = dispatch_get_main_queue();
    // Create a push registry object
    self.voipRegistry = [[PKPushRegistry alloc] initWithQueue: mainQueue];
    // Set the registry's delegate to self
    self.voipRegistry.delegate = self;
    // Set the push type to VoIP
    self.voipRegistry.desiredPushTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:PKPushTypeVoIP];

Since Xcode 11 and iOS13 there are changes in PushKit to support CallKit, so I'm trying to use UserNotifications instead, as described in Apple's documentation

Important
If you are unable to support CallKit in your app, you cannot use PushKit to handle push notifications. Instead, configure your app's push notification support with the UserNotifications framework.

I'm registering for remote notifications this way

- (BOOL) application:(UIApplication*) application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary*) launchOptions
{
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];

And receiving token:

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken

But when I'm sending notification from my server, I get DeviceTokenNotForTopic. I'm not sure, if UserNotifications framework uses different APNs server or token format is different.

APNS sends such error if bundleID of your app different from the apns-topic that you are sending from the server in request for voip push. Or a certificate for a voip push is generated for another bundleID.
