error with ios 17 and getting the device id

[asoap]

I am getting the device id from the ablyClient after connecting to Ably:

ably.LocalDevice device = await ablyClient!.device();
print(device.id);

This works just fine with iOS 14. But when switching to iOS 17 we get this error:

Hi @asoap thanks for raising this, we seem to have looked into a very similar error https://github.com/ably/ably-flutter/pull/492 which we released. Could you please share what version of flutter you're using and if it's still an issue using the latest release?

Closing due to inactivity. Re-open if you're still facing the same issue and please remember to provide additional information needed.

We switched from using the device ID, to the client ID. So we weren't able to test this. The developer that was using ios wasn't using the latest version of flutter, but it wasn't a very old version. Sorry, we won't be able to help on this one.
