Hey all,
Simon MacDonald, the author and maintainer of the the phonegap-plugin-push, tweeted earlier today (2016-05-22) of an issue with the plugin. The tweet points to blog post for more information.

The blog post in part reads:

Late last week Google pushed a new version of Google Play Services out to phones and since them some users of the phonegap-plugin-push have been seeing crashes in their app. The stack trace for that crash looks like this:

::::SNIP::::

To see which other plugin is using Android Support Library v4. Removing that plugin, recompile and reinstall the application fixes the problem. Obviously this is not a desired or long term fix. Trying to figure out a way to prevent this but I fear we will require a new version of Android Support Library v4 from Google.

Subscribe to the Issue #909 on the plugin's repo for more info and updates.


Best of Luck

@All,
I informed Simon of the posts to see if he had further comment. He did

Yeah, we are so screwed. Need Google to fix it and I'm flying all day tomorrow.
