The current user id is empty

[marcnpopa]

Hi,

What did you do?

We integrated stream-swift using SPM, and our iOS app runs well using the tutorial test credentials (appKey, appId, token, user)

Now we are trying to generate the token on our server side: "$client->users()->add('1068811', ['name' => 'Marc Team']);" (PHP)

On the iOS client side we initialize the Stream Client: "Client.config = .init(apiKey: "xxxxxx", appId: "xxxxxx", logsEnabled: true)"

Using the token retrieved from the server we try the setup: "Client.shared.setupUser(User(..), token: streamToken).."

What did you expect to happen?

"Client.shared.setupUser" should return "success"

What happened instead?

we get the error: "Client.shared.create failed with : Client setup: The current user id is empty"

Debugging inside the GetStream package, seems like when retrieving the user_id from the token it comes as an Integer and it fails because it expects a String:

" /// A user id from the Token. public var userId: String? { return payload?["user_id"] as? String // -> this returns nill } "

when, using a breakpoint on the previous line ^, and capturing this in the console: " payload?[“user_id”] as? Int // returns the correct user_id "

GetStream Environment

GetStream version: 2.2.3 Xcode version: 12.2 Swift version: 5 Platform(s) running GetStream: iOS **macOS version running Xcode: Catalina 10.15.7

Additional context

When requesting a user from the server side we get a correct user id as a String: " [ "created_at" => "2020-12-11T18:34:36.883063Z" "updated_at" => "2020-12-11T18:34:36.883063Z" "id" => "1068811" "data" => array:1 [ "name" => "Marc Team" ] "duration" => "3.97ms" ] "

Thank you

Hello @marcnpopa How do you generate the user token? Are you using any other Stream clients with the same token?
