So you are using a different plugin for push atm? Can you tell me which one, then we can see if there are differences between how it initialises and we might be able to fix this.

Erik,

No there are no warnings or any any errors. Errors and warnings we can
work with, this simply didn’t fire.

At the moment we have got around the issue with a different plugin. We
didn’t change the architecture at all and the different plugin works.

At the time we thought it was a timing or race condition and we still
think that.

We have this on the backburner as we need to get a release out. We’ll
try and revisit it later but it won’t be for a few weeks as Twitter
interfaces, GPS maps and route matching is on the critical path :)

Thanks

Rob
