Ionic native push registration format changed?

Question

I am not sure why but it seems that the interface for push registration changed?

My app follows the logic from

https://ionicframework.com/docs/v3/native/push/

with

pushObject.on('registration').subscribe((registration: any) => console.log('Device registered', registration));

where registration used to be of below type

export interface PushDevice{
    registrationId: string;
    registrationType: string;
}

but now I am getting

{"registrationId":"{length=32,bytes=0x459ca46ab66f4fe790220809215176d6...21b3436d13e78c64}","registrationType":"APNS"}

registrationID used to be a string, but now is a dictionary. How shall I handle this ID now? I have to convert it to a push token somehow... What changed? I looked into the phone gap plugin code but I can not find it... https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/blob/master/src/ios/PushPlugin.m

Finally found a lead. Seems this changed with the release of iOS 13.

The Cordova push plugin has to be updated to v2.3.0 (I have not tested this yet), but my current version is failing because v2.2.3 is accessing the registrationId through a wrong method.
