Hi Milosz,

Error Code InvalidRegistration is sent by Google when device Token is not valid.

Would you share, how your are registering device on GCM as generated Device Token is not valid one.

After going through with AndroidManifest.xml file I found different package name  or Bundle Identifier.

package="com.unity3d.player" Please change it with your package Name com.lephco.killdead

 

For GCM Error code, You can refer GCM Documentation.

 

Let me know the details.

 

Thanks

This is how I initialize app42 push api:

  App42Log.SetDebug(true);
        App42API.Initialize("key1",
            "key2");
        PushNotificationService pushNotificationService = App42API.BuildPushNotificationService();
        
        pushNotificationService.StoreDeviceToken(SystemInfo.deviceModel, SystemInfo.deviceUniqueIdentifier,
            com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.csharp.pushNotification.DeviceType.ANDROID, new UnityCallBack());

Documentation isn't really clear on how to use push notification API, how do I get the proper device token?

Actually you are storing deviceID on AppHQ that is not the one provided by GCM thats why you are getting InvalidRegistration error.

You can go through with the sample on Git-Hub
https://github.com/shephertz/App42_Push_Sample_Unity

Follow all the steps mentioned in ReadME file.

Let me know if you have any problem with integration.
