Answer 1

I've figured the problem. I've revoked and regenerated the certificate again, and this time, I've only exported the private key (without the certificate) in Keychain access, exported as .p12 and used the new file, and it worked. For some reason, PushSharp wasn't playing well with .p12 when both certificate and private key was present in the file.

Referral Link PushSharp APNS production: The credentials supplied to the package were not recognized (development works fine though)

Answer 2

When using the windows certificate store, (imho the easiest way to manage certificates on a production server), be sure to set the correct permissions on the private key.

Answer 3

after 4 hours of testing:

convert the .p12 to .pem, and it will work with IIS limited users....
