openssl pkcs12 -in <absolute-path-of-p12-file> -out <absolute-path-of-pem-file> -nodes -passin 'pass:<password-of-p12-file>'

# if the password of p12 file is empty, use the following command
# openssl pkcs12 -in <absolute-path-of-p12-file> -out <absolute-path-of-pem-file> -nodes -passin 'pass:'

TOPIC="<your-apps-bundle-id>"

--header "apns-topic: ${TOPIC}" \
--header "apns-push-type: alert" \
