BadDeviceToken (APNS) when I download the app from Testflight (iOS)

[Juliocbr]

Actual Behaviour

Plugin generates device token correctly when I run the app with "ionic cordova run ios" command, but when I upload app to testflight and download the app, the generated device token is invalid for APNS, the message that I received from APNS is "BadDeviceToken".

I have configured the development and production certificates for push notifications in apple developer webpage for the app.

Cordova CLI version and cordova platform version

ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0 cordova (Cordova CLI) : 7.1.0 Xcode 9.3 cordova ios: 4.5.4

Plugin version

phonegap-plugin-push 2.2.2

For example this token is invalid:

bd4b61ffa8c7d77be841dc50169eca94cc633812833917a520456df9e1a5d779

This is my code:

initPushNotification() {
        if (!this.platform.is('cordova')) {
            console.warn('Push notifications not initialized. Cordova is not available - Run in physical device');
            return;
        }

        const options: PushOptions = {
            android: {
                senderID: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx'
            },
            ios: {
                alert: 'true',
                badge: false,
                sound: 'true'
            },
            windows: {}
        };

        const pushObject: PushObject = this.push.init(options);

        pushObject.on('registration').subscribe(data => {
          console.log("device token: " + data.registrationId);
          this.storage.set('deviceToken', data.registrationId);

          this.notifications.registerDevice(data.registrationId).subscribe(response => {
            console.info('registerDevice');
            // console.log(response);
          }, error => {
            console.error('error registerDevice');
            console.error(error);
          });
        });

        pushObject.on('notification').subscribe(data => {
          // console.log('message: ' + data.message);
          // console.log('count: ' + data.count);

          this.badge.set(Number(data.count));

          this.alertCtrl.create({
            buttons: ['Aceptar'],
            title: data.title || null,
            message: data.message
          }).present();
        });

        pushObject.on('error').subscribe((e) => {
          // console.log("ERROR PUSH!!!");
          console.error(e.message);
          console.error(JSON.stringify(e));
        });
    }

@Juliocbr if you are using test flight you need to send to production APNS not development APNS.

@macdonst Do you think there could be a way to get the APNS-env value? 🤔 So the server could handle both dev & prod notifications depending on how the device got the app (from store/testflight or build locally)
