Ionic Push not coming through on device, despite "SUCCESS" from status check

Ok, I feel like I’ve tried everything at this point, so I’m hoping someone can tell me where I’m going wrong. I’ve set up everything as per the docs. I register a user like:

                Ionic.io();
                var user = Ionic.User.current();
                user.id = '14';
                var push = new Ionic.Push();
                var callback = function(pushToken) {
                console.log('Registered token:', pushToken.token);
                user.addPushToken(pushToken);
                user.save(); 
                }
                //register the device for push alerts
                push.register(callback);

This gives me success info in the console and I can see my user in the ionic users dashboard and associated token for push alerts.

I used a cocoa rest client to test the notifications via REST service

 {
  "user_ids":["14"],
  "notification":{
    "alert":"Hello World!"
    }
  }

and check the status of the notification

{
  "status": "Sent",
  "errors": [
  ],
  "android": {
    "failure_reason": "",
    "success": false,
    "sent": 0
  },
  "ios": {
    "failure_reason": "",
    "success": true,
    "sent": 1
  },
  "app_id": "*******"
}

All seems well. I’ve made sure to:

  • disable dev push.
  • upload my certificate
  • enable the push entitlement for my app ID in Xcode
  • Install the phone gap push plugin

Yet NOTHING comes through on my device. I’m lost, what am I missing? The only related error/issue I can see is in Xcode with the phone gap push plugin in PushPlugin.h which says: Cannot find protocol definition for ‘GGLInstanceIDDelegate’ which seems to give rise to over 200 other warnings related to the plugin.
