Create a Push Key (P8)

5min

Summary

A P8 Push Key, also known as an Apple Push Key or Auth Key, is a cryptographic key file used for authenticating and sending push notifications to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS devices through Apple's Push Notification service (APNs). The P8 Push Key is a newer form of authentication introduced by Apple and is preferred over the older method of using Push P12 certificates. It provides enhanced security and simplicity in managing push notifications. Unlike P12 certificates that expire and need periodic renewal, the P8 Push Key does not have an expiration date, making it more convenient to use.
