Hi @linuxbsdfreak,

Thank you or raise it. See that you are using and very old version of SDK. Also, note that this part was changed in the last versions. See here.

In this way, could you try to migrate/use the latest released version of SDK for your project 0.12 first? Then, let us know if the same behaviour still faced with it.

Hi @camilamacedo86 @joelanford . I will test and get back to you with a newer version

Hi @linuxbsdfreak,

Shows that it is sorted out, so I am closing this one.
However, please feel free to re-open if you see that is required.

@camilamacedo86 . You can close it out. We have verified after upgrading and it works.
