New Apple root certificate for push notifications
Hello,
I have just received this email from Apple and I am wondering if there is anything we should do on our side of if it is something PlayFab has already taken care of?
On March 29, 2021, token and certificate-based HTTP/2 connections to the Apple Push Notification service must incorporate the new root certificate (AAACertificateServices 5/12/2020) which replaces the old GeoTrust Global CA root certificate. To ensure a seamless transition and to avoid push notification delivery failures, verify that both the old and new root certificates for the HTTP/2 interface are included in the Trust Store of each of your notification servers before March 29.
Note that Apple Push Notification service SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple do not need be to updated at this time.

As the email said, “Note that Apple Push Notification service SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple do not need be to updated at this time.”. If you followed our documentation, obtained the provider certificates issued by Apple, you needn’t change it.
Then, since PlayFab uses Amazon SNS to connect to the APNs. Amason SNS should update the root certificate on their end. If you need to confirm it, please navigate to Amazon SNS forum -- AWS Developer Forums: Amazon Simple Notification Service for help.
