How long does the APN certificate process take?

As I understand it - once our system has been setup, we can log into the JSS, download the CSR and follow the instructions to upload certificate, and then begin to use APN services?

Yup it's quick & easy. Do you have an Apple Developer account? You'll need that.

No need for a developer account, any Apple ID will work.

Just make sure you & your organisation never lose access to it.

The APNS very is easy...Jamf even works you through a wizard telling you when to login and where and it can be done within 2-3 minutes total. The warnings folks are giving though are very real. Make sure to use an organizational Apple ID to get it. Never use a personal one as the organization you are with will ALWAYS need it at renewal time. If you lose access to this account you CANNOT renew the cert and applying a new one will require re-enrollment of everything.
