InstanceID.getToken fails on nexus devices

Question

When I am trying to get GCM token InstanceId throws an IOException.

I have this issue only on nexus devices 4 and 5 Google play services = 8.4.0 android 5.1.1 and 6.0.1

On samsung devices I can get GCM token and receive push messages.

String token = InstanceID.getInstance(mContext)
                    .getToken(defaultSenderId, GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE, null);

W/GCM: Missmatched messenger
W/System.err: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.IOException: TIMEOUT

I use several Nexus emulators with GCM no issue, both Marshmallow and Lollipop, so I can confirm that they do work. Could this possibly be related: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24875009/gcm-error-service-not-available/26490466#26490466 Looks like maybe just a device reboot to reset the wifi — Casey Murray, May 17 '16 at 13:33

Try invoking the getToken() method on another thread instead of main thread, like:

new Thread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        //code
    }
}).start();

Can you post the complete code that generates the token? – Prerak Sola May 17 '16 at 13:28

It seems that problem is with our VPN. I don't know what's wrong, but without VPN everything works fine, thank you guys.
