Urban Airship - Push Sample => APID is everytime null

Question

I'm new to android and want to use the push service of UrbanAirship .
I downladed the sample projects and tested the Push Sample Project, I just changed the developmentAppKey and the developmentAppSecret in MyApplication.java . The app starts fine and runs without crashing, but to send push messages, I need to register an APID and I don't know how.

Furthermore I get the following log and I think the APID shouldn't be null:

04-22 10:17:50.716: I/Push Sample - UALib(2843): My Application onCreate - App APID: null

and I get this error:

04-22 11:58:49.763: E/Push Sample - UALib(916): com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE is unknown to PackageManager. Note that an AVD emulator may not support GCM.

I found someone who had the same problems, but he didn't get a useful answer: https://support.urbanairship.com/customer/portal/questions/59269-android-pushsample-null-apid-missing-permission-that-is-really-there-

Can anyone help me please?

I've also run into a similar problem. You should carefully check your google account data. I was using an old password which was in fact not up to date. After setting the new PW it worked for me perfectly.
