I am not sure why but it seems that the interface for push registration changed?

My app follows the logic from

> **[Ionic Framework](https://ionicframework.com/docs/v3/native/push/)**
>
> Ionic is the app platform for web developers. Build amazing mobile, web, and desktop apps all with one shared code base and open web standards

with

```auto
pushObject.on('registration').subscribe((registration: any) => console.log('Device registered', registration));

```

where `registration` used to be of below type

```auto
export interface PushDevice{
    registrationId: string;
    registrationType: string;
}

```

but now I am getting

```auto
{"registrationId":"{length=32,bytes=0x459ca46ab66f4fe790220809215176d6...21b3436d13e78c64}","registrationType":"APNS"}

```

`registrationID` used to be a string, but now is a dictionary. How shall I handle this ID now? I have to convert it to a push token somehow… What changed? I looked into the phone gap plugin code but I can not find it…

Did I by accident upgrade my plugin to ionic4?

package.json

```auto
"@ionic-native/push": {
      "version": "4.20.0",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/@ionic-native/push/-/push-4.20.0.tgz",
      "integrity": "sha512-IgzaZd8KSPLwyLX1emRijlQ0Vfa3RlPPBx370lVH32c8zG3DFH1xfQQbb39KF3qmX5b6so0pGGA2holSUwVm2w=="
    },

```

Finally found a lead. Seems this changed with the release of iOS 13.

The Cordova push plugin has to be updated to v2.3.0 (I have not tested this yet), but my current version is failing because v2.2.3 is accessing the `registrationId` through a wrong method.
