Hi there, I just edited this for you. Try not to post your DSN on GitHub.

Please make the userId a string, this should fix it.

[masterT]

It doesn't look like the right way to do it, can't you detect the type instead of making the supposition that it's a _String_?

I ran into the same issue, I haven't seen any mention that userId must be a string in the documentation.

JavaScript is a dynamic language, you can't expect values coming from the JS side to strictly match a string or a double, you should convert between the two representations internally.

@sryze Is absolutely right, this is extremely unexpected behavior. Thanks @HazAT and @masterT for providing a temporary solution and explanation of the underlying issue!

Just ran into this issue today - coincided with building for 64 bit systems as required by Android. Maybe a coincidence, or maybe a lot more people will be encountering this issue!
