TL;DR; It works! The interesting part was this from your answer: Create two new provisioning profiles for each of these new bundle identifiers that you just created. During the profile creation process there should be a step called "Additional Entitlements." Make sure to add the Push Provider Entitlement to each of your profiles. I promise you, we've tried several times over these past days to generate a manual provisioning profile but the "Additional Entitlements" step never did show up...until this time where we were able to select the entitlement and see it appear in our provisioning profile. It must have been because the entitlement was not yet provisioned when we last tried generating a manual provisioning profile. Thank you so much for your detailed walkthrough. We are now able to get the test project up and running on servers and devices and can start kicking the tires on this thing :)
