I have used these commands in Terminal,

    1.V******-Ms-iMac-2:~ c*****$ openssl pkcs12 -in apns-dev-cert.p12 -out apns-dev-cert.pem -nodes -clcerts
        Response : Error opening input file apns-dev-cert.p12
        Certificates.p12: No such file or directory
    2.V******-Ms-iMac-2:~ c*****$ openssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -out apns-dev-cert.pem -in apns-dev-cert.p12
        Response : Error opening input file apns-dev-cert.p12

   5.V******-Ms-iMac-2:~ c*****$ cd/Users/c*****/Desktop/A
-bash: cd/Users/c*****/Desktop/A: No such file or directory

I can't understand why the terminal always saying "No such file or directory"?. Where i need to save the .p12 file in my Mac?

Am using Terminal app Version 2.1.2 (273.1). Mac OS X version 10.6.8.

Can you please what i need to do? I need to enable the APNS by using the .pem file. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

I have added tried Raywenderlich.com termial code in my mac Terminal app

1. V******-Ms-iMac-2:~ c*****$ pwd
/Users/creagx
2. V******-Ms-iMac-2:~ c*****$ cd/ Users/creagx/Desktop/A
-bash: cd/: No such file or directory
Was it helpful?

Solution

Type in:

cd /Users/creagx/Desktop/A (Space between cd and Slash: cd[SPACE]/Users/creagx/Desktop/A

if there is a Folder named "A" on your Desktop where the p12 files are in.

Then go on with the other Commands

openssl pkcs12 -in apns-dev-cert.p12 -out apns-dev-cert.pem -nodes -clcerts

openssl pkcs12 -clcerts -nokeys -out apns-dev-cert.pem -in apns-dev-cert.p12
