"Invalid Certificate Signing Request" error prevents certificate renewal on Apple Push Certificates Portal site

When attempting to renew a certificate after December 18, 2023, an error may be displayed, preventing the renewal of the certificate. It seems that repeating the process multiple times can occasionally lead to success, indicating that there is no issue with the CSR file. This occurrence has been observed in multiple MDM services, including Intune, Work Space One, and various other MDM vendors, suggesting a malfunction with Apple's servers. We hope that this issue will be promptly resolved and fixed.

Although unrelated to the previous issue, when pressing "Manage Certificates," it redirects back to the login screen instead of returning to the certificate list page. Please fix this so that it returns to the certificate list page.

  • Its april 2024 and this error still exist. Please Apple, please fix this!

The error is still occurring. 2023/12/27

Didn’t they deprecate this method for APNS?

Now token based

It's still happening on 2024/1/8. After retrying 8 times with the same CSR it finally worked.

We are also experiencing the same issue, 2024/1/10. After several attempts, it was successful.

Had exact same issue on 11.01.2024, using Endpoint Central MDM. They advised as per this forum to retry uploading the CSR .plist file a few more times, on the 6th attempt it worked.

We've got the same error today (12/Jan/2024). After several re-login to do the renew, apple server disabled my 2FA login due to login too many times !!
