I am using a standard PHP script to send a push notification using a JSON web token (JWT). This works perfectly from the MacOS command line.
But the same setup will not go through to the sandbox from a website on cPanel using PHP 8.3.
The error is: Curl failed: Private key does not match the certificate public key
There are no errors in the error logs.
Any ideas?
New test:
Did a cURL command directly:
curl -v -d '{"aps":{"alert":"Test notification"}}'
--http2
--cert /home/s1005325/aps.pem
--key /home/s1005325/AuthKey_M96BF5U2GG.pem
-H "apns-topic: GridQ.com.HeartConnect"
-H "authorization: bearer $AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN"
-H "apns-push-type: alert"
-H "apns-priority: 10"
-H "apns-expiration: 0"

Result:
curl: (58) unable to set private key file: '/home/s1005325/AuthKey_M96BF5U2GG.pem' type PEM
Have tested the AuthKey_M96BF5U2GG.pem. It is in a valid RSA format. The permissions and owner are correct. The .p8 file it was generated from worked to connect to APN from the command line.
More tests:
Changing the script to use the AuthKey_M96BF5U2GG as the original .p8 (or if the .pem file was generated without RSA encoding) the file gives this error:
curl: (58) Private key does not match the certificate public key
Found the reason this wasn't working...
When using the JSON web token (JWT), the certificate file is not needed, only the public key file (AuthKey).
Removing the certificate file from the cURL fixed the issue.
Here is the PHP script that worked:
It will save a lot of headaches...
