1) You need to follow the steps carefully.
2) Remember that Apple certificates expire once a year, and you need to create new certificates.
3) When you just activate your Firebase account, it may take a few minutes for the first message to arrive.
4) I'll leave a checklist here:

Apple Certificate + B4I Push Notification

FirebaseNotifications / Push Messages (server not required)

Updated tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-firebase-push-notifications-2023.148715/ The configuration steps are still relevant. Firebase Notifications service makes it relatively easy to send push messages. Integrating Firebase...

[X] - APPLE ---- Create the explicit application identifier. Ex: b4i.primeiroapp - explicit - notification and publication

[X] - APPLE ---- Create Apple Push Service (APS) Certificate - (will generate the aps.cer file, linked with your certSigningRequest.csr signature)

[x] - APPLE ---- Create Provisioning Profiles - Ad Hoc (compile and test) and App Store Connect (publish the application), you must link the application identifier.

[X] - B4I - Create firebase file - Tools - Build Server - Create Push Store - Firebase Service (will generate the firebase_push.p12 file)

[B4X] Firebase Push Notifications 2023+

Google has deprecated the previous method of sending push notifications. It will stop working on June 2024. If you have an already working solution then you only need to update the B4J side. Do make sure that you switched from the service to a receiver on B4A. The new API is (confusingly) named...

If you understand Portuguese, I recorded a video where I teach you step by step how to generate certificates and configure Apple's trigger.
If you don't understand Portuguese, you can activate the subtitles on YouTube or simply watch what I'm doing and do the same.

@Lucas Siqueira Thank you for your precious tutorial. I followed the guide meticulously, the push message from b4j is sent correctly but in my app nothing happens. Any solutions?

In b4i, if you have the app in the foreground, you won't see the notification. To do this, make the following adjustment to your code, add the UserNotificationCenter.

UserNotificationCenter class

A class that creates local notifications based on the newer iOS 10+ API. The notifications are configured to show even when the app is in the foreground. You can also add actions to the notifications: See the attached example

www.b4x.com

In the main of b4i, add it to the sub globals

Sub Process_Globals
    Public App As Application
    Public NavControl As NavigationController
    ...
    Public UNC As UserNotificationCenter
End Sub

in the b4i Firebase module

Public Sub MessageReceivedWhileInTheForeground (Message As Map)
    Log($"Message arrived while app is in the foreground: ${Message}"$)
    Dim aps As Map = Message.Get("aps")
    Dim alert As Map = aps.Get("alert")
    Log(alert.Get("body"))
    Log(alert.Get("title"))
...
    Main.UNC.Initialize 'after calling App.RegisterUserNotifications
    Main.UNC.CreateNotificationWithContent(alert.Get("title"), alert.Get("body"), "identifer 2", "Category 1", 4000)
End Sub

Creating a certificate and provisioning profile

Don't panic! Edit: The IDE must be configured with javac from OpenJDK 14: https://www.b4x.com/b4j/files/java/jdk-14.0.1.zip Otherwise the key created will be invalid and you will later encounter this error: MAC verification failed during PKCS12 import (wrong password?) While this process can...
