 The APNS binding needs a cryptographic private key in order to generate authentication tokens for the APNS service.
 The private key can be generated from the Apple Developer Portal and is provided as a PKCS #8 file with the private key stored in PEM format.
 The private key should be stored in the Dapr secret store and not stored directly in the binding's configuration file.
