    test_notification_token: str = Field(alias='testNotificationToken')

class Settings(BaseSettings):
    issuer_id: SecretStr
    bundle_id: SecretStr
    key_id: SecretStr 

    class Config:
        extra = 'ignore'

settings = Settings(_env_file='.env.notification_test')
with open('auth_key.p8', 'rb') as f:
    private_key = SecretBytes(f.read())

print(f'this is testing {settings.bundle_id.get_secret_value()}')

client_sandbox = AppStoreServerAPIClient(private_key.get_secret_value(),
                                         settings.key_id.get_secret_value(),

                                         settings.bundle_id.get_secret_value(),
                                         Environment.SANDBOX)

client_prod = AppStoreServerAPIClient(private_key.get_secret_value(),
                                      settings.key_id.get_secret_value(),
                                      settings.issuer_id.get_secret_value(),
                                      settings.bundle_id.get_secret_value(),
                                      Environment.PRODUCTION)

def make_request(client: AppStoreServerAPIClient):
    try:
        token=client.request_test_notification().testNotificationToken
        while True:
            try:
                resp=client.get_test_notification_status(token)
                print(resp.sendAttempts[0].sendAttemptResult.value)
                break
            except APIException as e:
                if e.http_status_code==404:
                    print('waiting for notification')
                    time.sleep(1)
                else:
                    raise e
    except APIException as e:
        print(f"error {e}")

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("Sending test notification to sandbox")
    make_request(client_sandbox)
    print("testing prod")

this prints

this is testing <REDACTED>
Sending test notification to sandbox
SUCCESS
testing prod
error 401

@07pepa To confirm, you obtained an API key as specified in https://github.com/apple/app-store-server-library-python?tab=readme-ov-file#obtaining-an-in-app-purchase-key-from-app-store-connect

[07pepa]

yes and it also work for sanbox... just prod is not working...

Until you have a production release of your app, you will receive 401s from the production API
