Hello,

I implemented push notifications for our react native project on both iOS and Android. Testing locally, it works on iOS and Android. And on release mode, iOS is not getting any notifications but on Android, it’s fine. Any ideas?

P.S. I checked this example [SendBird-JavaScript/react-native-hook-sample at master · sendbird/SendBird-JavaScript · GitHub](https://github.com/sendbird/SendBird-JavaScript/tree/master/react-native-hook-sample).

```auto
...
"react": "16.13.1",
"react-native": "0.63.4",
"sendbird": "3.0.154",
"@react-native-firebase/app": "8.4.7",
"@react-native-firebase/messaging": "7.9.2",
...

```

Hi @ruin3936,

Welcome to the Sendbird community. Do you have a production APNS certificate uploaded to the Sendbird dashboard? If its working locally, it’s likely you have a development certificate uploaded but not a production certificate.

@ruin3936,

Correct. You can see here the certificate is marked as Development. If you’ve released the application, you also need one marked as Production.
