Distriqt ANE key cannot be verified in Android

I am developing an App for iOS and Android, for this app I am using ANEs from distriqt, and they say they work for both platforms. In iOS these ANEs work but when I develop in Android I get the error: Your key was not able to be verified for the com.distriqt.Notifications native extension, but the key works for NetworkInfo ANE.
If you have had a similar situation with these ANEs, could you please help me to attack this problem?
Thank you very much.
PD: My descriptor for android where i declare the extensions is below.
<extensions>
<extensionID>com.milkmangames.extensions.GoViral</extensionID>
<extensionID>com.distriqt.NetworkInfo</extensionID>

The issue will be with your application id, as it's not a valid Java package name, AIR will convert it to a valid one when creating the application apk. However this will cause issues with your manifest additions and key validation.
Basically starting a package name with a number or using hyphens are not valid in Java. You should either change your application id to something like:
com.fourstarscasino.fourStarsCasino
Or else you'll have to determine the actual Android package name and use that instead. It probably is something like:
com.A4starscasino.A4StarsCasino
You should unzip the apk and check the AndroidManifest.xml for the actual Android package name.

Is it possible that you designated an IP address when setting up your server key (the instructions say to leave it blank, thus allowing all IPs)?
I followed the instructions provided by Scringo here exactly as written, and after successfully sending a test push message I started getting new message alerts when another user messaged me.

PushBot Android client not working

I followed the instruction but when I test sending the message I do not receive anything.
There are no errors in the application and the pushbot console sees that that there is a registered device.
How can I find out what is going on ?
The Code is very template like and follows all instructions that they have provided.
The application
import com.pushbots.push.Pushbots;
import android.app.Application;
public class MyApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
String SENDER_ID = "ID here";
String PUSHBOTS_APPLICATION_ID = "Pushbot App Id";
Pushbots.init(this, SENDER_ID,PUSHBOTS_APPLICATION_ID);
}
}
The manifest looks like the following

I'm not sure which version of com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver you are using, but if it's the default implementation taken from the old client GCM library, this implementation expects the GCMIntentService to be in the main package of your app (com.example.zuppush), which is not the case.

I just signed up for pushbots recently. No technical support. No one is answering the phone. Their phone number forwards to a business that has nothing to do with pushbots. Please be aware, I don't think this company exists anymore. I lost my 1st month subscription to the service, without any service actually being delivered. I assume that pushbots service is no longer available, and that no one is still using the service, despite the fact that they are still accepting credit cards on their web site. Sketchy.

google cloud messaging not working in android 4.4

I have an andorid application that uses GCM (not the new google cloud messaging API)
the notification is working without any problems in all android vesion except 4.4 (nexus 5)
<receiver android:name="com.google.android.gcm.GCMBroadcastReceiver" android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
<!-- Receive the actual message -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
<category android:name="com.PushNotifications"/>
</intent-filter>
<!-- Receive the registration id -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION"/>
<category android:name="com.PushNotifications"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
in android 4.4. GCMBroadcastReciver is not receiving the com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE intent, only the com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION
I know that the old GCM is deprecated but I don't want use yet the Google Play Services and the new API, instead I want to understand why it's not working in 4.4
Thanks

Specific device not receiving Google Cloud Messaging notifications

I have an application where I'm implementing Google Cloud Messaging notifications, but in a specific device the messages don't arrive. This device has the minimum requirements to use GCM (Android version 2.2, Play Store installed and an Google Account logged). In the log I see that the device is receiving the registration id and sending to the back-office where I have a list of devices registered.
My question is: Do I need to make extra configurations to make the device receive these notifications?
Here is the manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="br.com.testegcm"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1" >

android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<receiver
android:name="br.com.testegcm.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
android:exported="true"
android:enabled="true"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />

<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>

Change this :
<permission android:name="com.example.gcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.example.gcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
to :
<permission android:name="br.com.testegcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="br.com.testegcm.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

Add the same issue and i eventually i realized that i need to change in the manifest, the broadcast receiver package name from com.example.gcm to my package name :
<!-- Push notifcations-->
<receiver
android:name=".BroadcastRecivers.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
<category android:name="com.example.gcm"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
To
<!-- Push notifcations-->
<receiver
android:name=".BroadcastRecivers.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
<category android:name="MY PACKAGE NAME"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

No apart from Android version 2.2, Play Store app installed and an Google Account logged in no other configuration is needed, Now there are only two cases left
1) Either there is some ambiguity in your code.
2) or may be it is a device specific issue.

I had the very same problem.My code would work on nexus4(Kitkat) but would fail to get me a notification from the appln server(via gcm server).For versions less that 4.0.4 you should make sure that you have your google account setup on your device for gcm to work. I had google account on my phone but the mistake I made was that my Account and Sync settings in my galaxy ace was 'Off'.When I turned it ON and ran my code, i received the notification.

Please check the following solution. if still didn't work, let me know.
Add RECEIVE and REGISTRATION Intent in two different intent filters
<receiver
android:name=“<.GCM BroadcastReceiver Name>“ // Name of your BroadcastReceiver, define in code.
android:exported="true"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<category android:name=“<Package Name>" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name=“<Package Name>" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<service android:name=“<.GCM IntentService Name>" /> // Name of your IntentService, define in code.
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="#integer/google_play_services_version" />
Add RECEIVE and REGISTRATION Intent in two different intent filters as shown as above otherwise it won’t work for some devices(Ex. HTC).
