Answer 1

According to the Phonegap Build community forums, you need to use a distribution provision certificate for the APS registration to work : http://community.phonegap.com/nitobi/topics/ios_problem_with_push_notification_plugin_for_phonegap_build
Some people have succeeded after switching to production certificates.
However, I have the same problem and still cannot get it working with production certificates.

Answer 2

after long research and trial and error. i found out that i need to use:
on IOS (adhoc provision profile) and on push server(production aps cert and key)
