When your business has more than one iOS mobile app, you can push live-chat notifications to users from a single Freshchat account using the P8 key support for mobile SDK.
With this update, Freshchat can support uploading the new P8 key. Customers can also choose to work with the existing P12 certificate. However, only one certificate can be uploaded at a time.
Prerequisite: You should already use the P8 certificate for notification service on your iOS apps.
Note
1. You will not be allowed to use both P8 and P12 certificates simultaneously.
2. Once you set this up, you will receive notifications on your mobile apps linked to the P8 key.
3. When using the .p8 key file, you do not need to renew your certificate yearly. While using .p12 certificates, you need to renew the certificate and the endpoint once a year.

You can upload the P8 certificate on your Freshchat account with the following steps:
- Navigate to Freshchat settings > Admin > Channels > Mobile SDK.
