Apple have changed the name of the certificate that is issued. You can now use the same certificate for both development and production. While you can still request a development only certificate you can no longer request a production only certificate.

According to Troubleshooting Push Certificate Problems     The SSL certificate available in your Apple Developer Program account contains a public key but not a private key  The private key exists only on the Mac that created the Certificate Signing Request uploaded to Apple  Both the public and private keys are necessary to export the Privacy Enhanced Mail  PEM  file    Chances are the reason you can t export a working PEM from the certificate provided by the client is that you do not have the private key  The certificate contains the public key  while the private key probably only exists on the Mac that created the original CSR   You can either    Try to get the private key from the Mac that originally created the CSR  Exporting the PEM can be done from that Mac or you can copy the private key to another Mac    or   Create a new CSR  new SSL certificate  and this time back up the private key
