APNS TypeError: Cannot read property 'key' of undefined

When trying to send a notification through APNS, I get the following crash:

Here's the gist of our config:

var api = new ParseServer({
  databaseURI: e.DATABASE_URI,
  appId: e.APP_ID,
  masterKey: e.MASTER_KEY,
  serverURL: e.SERVER_URL,
  verbose: true,
  push: {
    android: {
      senderId: e.ANDROID_SENDER_ID,
      apiKey: e.ANDROID_API_KEY
    },
    ios: [
      {
        pfx: __dirname + '/config/' + e.IOS_PFX_DEV,
        bundleId: e.IOS_BUNDLE_ID_DEV,
        production: false
      },
      {
        pfx: __dirname + '/config/' + e.IOS_PFX_PRO,
        bundleId: e.IOS_BUNDLE_ID_PRO,
        production: true
      }
    ]
  }
});

And the request I'm testing with:

curl \
  -vvv \
    --connect-timeout 4 \
  -X POST \
  -H "X-Parse-Master-Key: $MASTER_KEY" \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: $APPLICATION_ID" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{
        \"channels\": [
          \"$CHANNEL\"
        ],
        \"data\": {
          \"action\": \"me.beelink.beetrack2.PUSH_NOTIFICATION\",
          \"type\": \"chat\",
          \"message\": \"$MESSAGE\",
          \"payload\": $PAYLOAD,
                    \"content-available\": 1
        }
      }" \
    --url "$URL"

The project can be found here: https://github.com/Beetrack/parse_server

I'm really clueless on what I might be doing wrong, any help is greatly appreciated.

This seems to be an error in the APNS library. Are your p12 files properly loaded on the server? It seem that they are missing from your repository. If they are not committed and you're deploying to heroky, that may explain the error.

Note that the password option is supported so you can safely encrypt the p12 file password in your yaml.enc as well as protect (and commit) your certificates/keys.

That was it, thanks a lot!
