# iOS: APNS Setup

This guide provides instructions on how to obtain the necessary values for configuring APNS.

* Key (in the form of a .p8 file extension)
* Key ID
* Team ID
* Bundle Identifier (can be verified in Xcode)

## 1. Requirements

{% hint style="info" %}
Before proceeding to the next step, make sure that the identifier has been registered.
{% endhint %}

Check if the identifier for the app you are developing is in the list on the Apple Developer's [Identifiers page](https://idmsa.apple.com/IDMSWebAuth/signin?appIdKey=891bd3417a7776362562d2197f89480a8547b108fd934911bcbea0110d07f757\&path=%2Faccount%2Fresources%2Fidentifiers%2Flist\&rv=1). If you have been developing with the same Apple account in Xcode, it should have been registered automatically. 

If it is not in the list, be sure to register it before proceeding to the next step.

## 2. Create Push Notification Keys (Key, Key ID)

1. Create a key with "Apple Push Notifications service" enabled on the Apple Developer's [Key page](https://idmsa.apple.com/IDMSWebAuth/signin?appIdKey=891bd3417a7776362562d2197f89480a8547b108fd934911bcbea0110d07f757\&path=%2Faccount%2Fresources%2Fauthkeys%2Flist\&rv=1).<br>

2. Once the key is created, download the .p8 file and copy the Key ID for future reference.
