PushNotification is undefined

[ghost]

I have updated my project to phonegap 7.0.1 and using the push plugin version 2.

In my index.js file, after the device is ready, I run this code:

if (typeof PushNotification !== 'undefined') {
          var push = PushNotification.init({
              android: {

              },
              ios: {
                  alert: "true",
                  badge: "true",
                  sound: "true"
              },
              windows: {}
          });

          push.on('registration', function (data) {
              // data.registrationId
              alert(data.registrationId);
              DevExpress.ui.notify("Device registered " + data.registrationId, "success", 3000);
          });

          push.on('notification', function (data) {
              // data.message,
              // data.title,
              // data.count,
              // data.sound,
              // data.image,
              // data.additionalData
              DevExpress.ui.notify(data.message, "info", 10000);
          });

          push.on('error', function (e) {
              // e.message
              DevExpress.ui.notify(e.message, "error", 10000);
          });
      }
      else
          alert("else!!!");

This used to work like charms, now it doesn't. Why?

This is also my confing.xml file

    <plugin spec="https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push.git" source="git" />
    <platform name="android">
    <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="google-services.json" />
  </platform>
  <platform name="ios">
    <resource-file src="GoogleService-Info.plist" />
  </platform>
  <access origin="*" />
</widget>

The first if in my code goes in the else branch. This because PushNotification is undefined. Why is it undefined? Am I missing something?

@pieruz what version of cordova-android or cordova-ios do you use? Run cordova platforms or phonegap platforms to find out.

@macdonst Sorry for the dumb question, but how can I do this check using DevExtreme?

[macdonst]

@pieruz No clue. I've never used DevExtreme. Probably should ask them.

[ghost]

@macdonst I asked, I will come back here with the answer

[ghost]

@macdonst Ok, here I am.

Cordova-android version is 6.2.3

Cordova-ios version is 4.4.0

[macdonst]

@pieruz those are the supported versions for 2.0.0. Not sure why you are getting undefined. Are you building locally?

[ghost]

@macdonst I created the template in the phonegap online utility and then I created the package with the DevExtreme tool. Opening the generated package, I see the version I wrote above, with the push plugin included in the plugin list

[macdonst]

@pieruz I'm really sorry but I don't have time to research the DevExtreme tool. You would probably be better off asking them for support. Everything you are doing looks correct.

[ghost]

@macdonst You're right, finally I solved with them the issue. Now it works like charms!

[macdonst]

@pieruz can you post what the solution was so that other can benefit if they actually search the old issues?
