You can start using the new PushSharp 3.0.1 stable version it's really simple and awesome.
First you should goto and remove all the pushsharp 2 related dlls:
- PushSharp.Core
- PushSharp.Apple
- PushSharp.Android
and etc also make sure to remove:
- Newtonsoft.Json.dll (it will make a conflict and i will explain it)
Then goto your project and open nuget manager then search for latest stable version of PushSharp 3 nd download it.
Now you should use a new Pushsharp 3 APIs it's little different but more simpler so:
First create a class that contains all the brokers you want:
public class AppPushBrokers
{
public ApnsServiceBroker Apns { get; set; }
public GcmServiceBroker Gcm { get; set; }
public WnsServiceBroker wsb { get; set; }
}
Then on you business logic / Controller / ViewModel etc. you will need to write your PushNotification Business:
public class NewPushHandler
{
#region Constants
public const string ANDROID_SENDER_AUTH_TOKEN = "xxxx";
public const string WINDOWS_PACKAGE_NAME = "yyyy";
public const string WINDOWS_PACKAGE_SECURITY_IDENTIFIER = "zzzz";
public const string WINDOWS_CLIENT_SECRET = "hhhh";
public const string APPLE_APP_NAME = "yourappname";
public const string APPLE_PUSH_CERT_PASS = "applecertpass";
#endregion
#region Private members
bool useProductionCertificate;
string appleCertificateType;
String appleCertName;
String appleCertPath;
byte[] appCertData;
// logger
ILogger logger;
// Config (1- Define Config for each platform)
ApnsConfiguration apnsConfig;
GcmConfiguration gcmConfig;
WnsConfiguration wnsConfig;
#endregion
#region Constructor
public NewPushHandler()
{
// Initialize
useProductionCertificate = true; // you can set it dynamically from config
appleCertificateType = useProductionCertificate == true ? "production.p12" : "development.p12";
appleCertName = APPLE_APP_NAME + "-" + appleCertificateType;
appleCertPath = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Crt", appleCertName); // for web you should use HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(
appCertData = File.ReadAllBytes(appleCertPath);
var appleServerEnv = ApnsConfiguration.ApnsServerEnvironment.Production;
logger = LoggerHandler.CreateInstance();
// 2- Initialize Config
apnsConfig = new ApnsConfiguration(appleServerEnv, appCertData, APPLE_PUSH_CERT_PASS);
gcmConfig = new GcmConfiguration(ANDROID_SENDER_AUTH_TOKEN);
wnsConfig = new WnsConfiguration(WINDOWS_PACKAGE_NAME, WINDOWS_PACKAGE_SECURITY_IDENTIFIER, WINDOWS_CLIENT_SECRET);
}

Important notes:
Some times specially when you works with IIS you can find an exceptions related to IOS certificate and the most common one:
“The credentials supplied to the package were not recognized”
This was due to many reasons for example your app pool user privilege or the certificate installed on the user account instead of local machine so try to disable the impersonation authentication from iis also check that it's really helpful Apple PushNotification and IIS
