Unable to send push notifications (error 8)

I implemented push notification using node-apn some time ago and it worked just fine. Today my server restarted and I tried the push notification again just to notice it does not work anymore. I turned on the debugs and got this:

Are you sure your environments are matched? A device generated for a sandbox environment will cause an error “8” in the production environment and vice versa.

That device id is the one I just got from the iOS application upon starting. Here is my code for getting the id:

DDLogInfo(@"pushNoticificationDeviceToken: '%@'", pushNoticificationDeviceToken);

....

} I double checked and the device id is correct.
