I’ve been working on iIrssi, which is a project of mine to give irssi push notifications on the iPhone.
Unfortunately, even when following Apple’s instructions for getting push notifications going, I ran into this error:
Error in registration. Error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3000 UserInfo=0x1402f0 "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application
As it turns out, I needed to give myself an entitlement called ‘aps-environment’, whereas I’d assumed (and I’d found nothing on the internet to contradict it) that this was an internal part of the provisioning profile, since Apple recommended I created a new provisioning profile once I’d activated APN on my application in the development portal.
This document from Apple explains how to do this.
I’m sort of hoping this helps somebody in the same flummoxed position as I 
What solved it for me was to actually completely delete the application from the iPhone, then install it again.

I have the exact same problem. I checked the provisioning profile was using the correct AppID and created the .plist file but I’m still getting the error.

I have found the problem. I had to issue a new provisioning profile after I edited the AppID, load this profile into the iPhone AND double click the .mobileprovision file so Xcode would build the app using the correct profile after manually selecting it in Project > Project Settings > Build

Thanks for posting this. What do I need to set as the value for this key in the plist file?

thanks. this was helpful. though it seems like a workaround, since the aps-environment variable is present in the provisioning profile, as per apple’s explanation

I am having the same issue…push notifications not working properly. I am hoping I can fix it myself. Any assistance or guidence will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

I got the solution, when you have configured your AppID for Push notification, then recreate a new provisioning file with this AppID and install it on the Xcode Organiser, this has worked for me .

I solved this issue by following all the steps outlined by Vinod AND by deleting all other provisioning profiles for this app on my Mac and on my iPhone.

I tried making up a whole new set of AppID, certificate and provisioning profile, and deleted old apps but still got this error.
Finally I found the path to my code-signing had been cleared somehow. I reset it, and everything worked. The plist file contained only the entry for get-task-allow, which was on.
Perhaps it needed to find my entitlements file to get the setting copied from the provisioning profile?

I was getting the same error while everything was fine. I just removed the application from my iPhone and installed it again. Now everything works.

Thanks for the post. FYI, I got the same error, and traced it back to a mismatch between my application name and the value in my App ID. When Apple asks for a “Bundle Identifier (App ID Suffix)”, and shows “com.domainname.appname”, make sure you use the same values as those in the xcode project.

Thanks! now our app will have push and soon be on the app store.

hey, i still got the problem and i think i have the same problem like “Wait Sellers”. i need to fix the path to my .plist file but i don’t really know how to do this. i’ve put my .plist file in the folder called “Recources”.
What i need now is the “Code Signing Resource Rules Path” because this field is empty but should not be empty i guess?!
