Appcenter-sdk-react-native: 1.8.0 - AppCenter not enabled on start resulting in null install ID

Created on 1 Sep 2018 · 4Comments · Source: microsoft/appcenter-sdk-react-native

Description

After upgrading to version 1.8.0 of the SDK, calling AppCenter.getInstallId() results in a null value in Android because AppCenter is not enabled on start. I believe it has to do with PR https://github.com/Microsoft/AppCenter-SDK-React-Native/pull/383 that looks like it implements some sort of auto start option. I wasn't able to get AppCenter to be enabled on app load unless I downgraded to 1.7.1

Repro Steps

Please list the steps used to reproduce your issue.

Upgrade to 1.8.0
Start Android app, simulator or device.
Check if AppCenter is started using isEnabled(), I get false
Since it isn't started, getInstallId() returns null

Details

Which SDK version are you using?
- 1.8.0
Which OS version did you experience the issue on?
- Android 8.1.0
What device version did you see this error on? Were you using an emulator or a physical device?
- Google Pixel 2 and Android Emulator

Hi, thanks for the bug report, it is indeed a regression with version 1.8.0.

We will fix it but in the mean time there is a work around:

In MainApplication.java call AppCenterReactNativeShared.setStartAutomatically(true); before SoLoader.init.

Or downgrade to 1.7.1 while waiting for version 1.8.1.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the quick fix @guperrot!

We have rolled back latest version to 1.7.1 on npm.js in the mean time. 1.8.0 is still downloadable but not the latest anymore.

guperrot on 5 Sep 2018

Version 1.8.1 has been released with the fix and thus you can remove the work around after updating the npms, then running pod repo update and react-native link.
