When using a newer version then 1.8.4 the ionic package service doesnt include the phonegap-plugin-push in the apk file when building for the android platform. Try version 1.8.4 for Android. Or arent you using the package service?

For ios you can use the newsest version (1.10.4) . So far I could not find a way without changing the config.xml between the two platform builds.

you dont need the ~ cause you explictly want to use that version

I opened a thread with that subject this week:

> [@Phonegap-plugin-push not included in apk file with ionic packakge build](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/phonegap-plugin-push-not-included-in-apk-file-with-ionic-packakge-build/92246):

> Hi all, when I build an apk file using the package service the phonegap-plugin-push is not included. I can verify that by opening the apk using an unzip tool. I am using ionic2 and the dependency for the plugin is defined in config.xml \<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push"\> \<variable name="SENDER\_ID" value="XXXXXXXXX"/\> \</plugin\> The only way to get the build service include the plugin is by explicitly using the version “1.8.4” like that: \<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="1.8.…

you can find my config entry there

Could you check if the phonegap-plugin-push is included in the apk file?

Just unzip it and look for the folder “phonegape-plugin-push” in assets/www/plugins

You are using the ionic cloud push service?

Where and when do you register your device?

Have you double checked your sender ID?

Is the app open or in background while you are sending the push notification?

(sry for asking so much … )

can you see the push token in your ionic-dashboard connected to your user (you should see it when looking at the details of you user in the auth tab)?

I could not find a solution for that so far, I just change the config.xml before I build …

But I would expect the bug getting fixed in the next time … I would prefer to use 1.10.4. on both platforms of course …
