Description
Description
Hello, I have an app using remote config. Before transferring data to the new iPhone everything worked well.
With the app installed on the old iPhone, I transfer the data to a new iPhone using the initialization process.
On the new iPhone the remote config stops working, I don't get the values even if the fetch succeed.
From my code:
Having this property private let remoteConfig = RemoteConfig.remoteConfig() I call
func fetch() async throws {
do {
let fetchStatus = try await remoteConfig.fetchAndActivate()
print(fetchStatus!.rawValue) // this print is executed and the status is a success status
} catch {
throw error
}
}
and I get a success status.
I also tried replacing the above function with:
func forceFetch() async throws {
do {
let status = try await remoteConfig.fetch(withExpirationDuration: 0)
if status == .success {
let success = try await remoteConfig.activate()
print(success) // this print is executed and the status is a success status
} else {
throw FetchError.failed(status)
}
} catch {
throw error
}
}
and I still get a success status. So far so good but when I call remoteConfig.configValue(forKey: key).dataValue I don't get the value.
This happens only on the new iPhone, on the old one everything still works ok.
Reproducing the issue
The bug was found using the store version of my app but I could reproduce it by running the production target from Xcode (easier to debug):
Setup: we need two iPhones to reproduce this bug.
- From Xcode, run the app with production setup on the iPhone 1 (or install it from AppStore)
- Erase content and data from phone settings on iPhone 2 (or use a brand new iPhone) and start the transfer process
A tutorial for transferring data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aawvzH5KIQ8 minute 1:40 - 6:15 - Make sure the app appears on iPhone 2 after the transfer is complete. This step is mandatory since we don't want a fresh install.
- From Xcode, run the app with production setup on the iPhone 2. (or reload it from AppStore if the AppStore version was used in step 1)
- Observe: on iPhone 1 everything still works ok, on iPhone 2 the values can't be accessed even if they are fetched successfully.
