SO I have an app in the app store already and I just downloaded the milkman games plugin to cadd push functionality in the app. Problem is that the first step in doing this is I need to create a unique certificate and provisioning profile and certificate.

The problem with this of course is my app already has a bundle ID i've used so if I do this then I assume I can't replace my new version for my old one ?

Any way around this?

In the Apple developer portal you can edit your App IDs to add new features. I don't know for sure if it would be needed, but I would update the provisioning profile too, after doing the App ID edits.

Is this on iOS? On iOS you should not have any problems uploading the same app with new certificates. This is only a limitation on Google Play.

well its on both tbh, but i didnt realise google play would have the issue.

its the bundle Id i'm worried about - if the bunle id isn;'t the exact same then it wont let me upload it will it

So to my knowledge and understanding you will not have to create a new bundle ID on iOS and neither will you have to create a new certificate on Google. You will have to create a new certificate on iOS but that should not stop you from updating the existing app.
