APN SSL Certificate valid period

We have deployed our application with push notifications using a development provision profile. The APNS SSL certificate expires from 3 months , so my client wa开发者_如何学编程nts to extend it's valid period preferably by several years. Is it possible to get a 3rd Party SSL certificate to connect to APNS ?

No, it is not possible. You must generate the certificate through the iOS Provisioning Profile. By the way, you need to deploy your application using a production certificate and not a development certificate.
