Tired of manually creating and maintaining your push notification profiles? Tired of generating a pem file for your server?

PEM does all that for, just by running pem.

Felix Krause (@KrauseFx) the developer of PEM
Sebastian Mayr (@sebmasterkde) who implemented the download mechanism of signing certificates
Alexander Schuch (@schuchalexander) who automated the generation of the signing request

Well, it's actually just one: Generate the pem file for your server.

Check out this gif:

sudo gem install pem

Make sure, you have the latest version of the Xcode command line tools installed:

xcode-select --install

pem

Yes, that's the whole command!

This does the following:

• Verifies the production push certificate looks alright
• Renews the push certificate in case it's necessary
• Downloads the certificate
• Generates a new .pem file in the current working directory, which you can upload to your server

You can pass parameters like this:

pem -a at.felixkrause.app -u username

If you want to generate a development certificate instead:

pem --development

In case you prefer environment variables:

• PEM_USERNAME
• PEM_APP_IDENTIFIER
• PEM_CERT_SIGNING_REQUEST in case you want to pass your own signing request file

There are 2 actions involved:

• Accessing the iOS Dev Center to download the latest aps_production.cer. See: developer_center.rb.
• Generating all the necessary profiles and files to prepare the finished .pem file. See: cert_manager.rb. PEM will create a temporary keychain called PEM.keychain and use that to generate the necessary profiles. That means PEM will not pollute your default keychain.
• The .certSigningRequest file will be generated in signing_request.rb

PEM uses the password manager from Deliver. Take a look the Deliver README for more information.

Download and install the Provisioning Plugin.

It will show you the pem files like this:

• If there is a technical problem with PEM, submit an issue. Run pem --trace to get the stacktrace.
• I'm available for contract work - drop me an email: [email protected]
