Issue Description

Setting production property to true using a production APNS certificate crashes application. Setting to false does not.

Steps to reproduce

push: {
        ios: [
            //create and support both sandbox and production
            {
                pfx:sandboxDirectoryLocation,
                passphrase: config.APNS_PASSPHRASE,
                bundleId: config.APPLE_BUNDLE_ID,
                production: false
            },
            {
                pfx:productionDirectoryLocation,
                passphrase: config.APNS_PASSPHRASE,
                bundleId: config.APPLE_BUNDLE_ID,
                production: true
            }
        ]
    }

1. Go to dashboard and send a test push
2. Server crashes with error

To fix:

1. set both production to false
2. push notifications succeed
3. server does not crash

Expected Results

What I expect to happen is that the server detects the correct environment and doesn’t crash. For example, I know I have a sandbox certificate so I know I need to set production to false. If I know I have a production certificate then I know I need production to be set to true.

Actual Outcome

Server crashes with error:

Error: certificate does not support configured environment, production: true
