Plugins being reset because of load time

I am having some issues with an Ionic app I am trying to develop, especially around getting the push notifications to work. I have been attempting to get the Push token to register through Ionic using the ionic-web-client library.

When I run the project through Xcode, this is the log:

Apache Cordova native platform version 4.3.1 is starting.

Any thoughts around what may be causing the Push notifications to not register and causing the long load times?

Interestingly enough, the Push notifications do get registered when I run the app through Google Chrome.

Thanks for any help.

Updated the original post to include my config.xml, if that will help.

Thanks!
