Apple Push Notification Service certificate expiring; what now?

So what am I supposed to do with this?



It means virtually nothing to me and when Googled, I only find complex suggestions.


So who is my vendor? How do I contact them? How do I get a new CSR? etc.

This kind of looks like the MDM ( Mobile Digital Management ) service being used and installed on this computer is the Source of your issue.


This would be a Function of the Company IT Department to communicate with the company they have Enrolled this computer with.


Manage macOS updates with Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Any recent downloads from possible Untrusted Developer or Untrusted Web Site. ??

Nope.

The message in your original post - how is this appearing on the computer ??

Legit eMail from Apple. The link provided in that eMail went to https://identity.apple.com/pushcert.

Thinking, possible Malware or Adware some how got installed.

Nope; Malwarebytes reports no issues.


For peace of computer and mind >>

Suggest downloading from a Respected ASC Contributor the application Malwarebytes for Mac. It is free or paid for added features. Run the Application and it should remove the malware / adware. Once done, restart computer and test.

Already done.


Mind blown! "Revoking or allowing this certificate to expire will require existing devices to be re-enrolled with a new push certificate" worries me!


I have no idea what push notification this refers to, therefore I have no idea what to do next!

Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Un-installers, etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation


The next picture seems to indicate some Scan like AntiVirus Software who's Certificate is expiring
