Re: [aerogear-dev] APNS/UPS: With iOS 8.0 the 'alert' no longer just a string

Is there an option to move this payload from under alert to a dedicated "ios" section as we have the "windows" one explained in UPS guide [1]? With this option Cordova will still have to deal with extended ios features for alert and we will have a new payload version.

Out of all options, I think a Cordova support need to be done anyway.
