5.3 Android - error joining a call: "PlatformException (PlatformException(, Not except type: uid, null, null))"

[dgilperez]

After upgrading, when I try to join a call I get this PlatformException

Not except type: uid

This is not happening on 5.2, without any other change.

This happens when calling joinChannel(null, channelName, null, uid)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Wrap your join call on a try-catch
2. Join a call
3. See error captured

Expected behavior

Joining a call to proceed.

• Flutter 3.0.5
• Device: Poco M3
• OS: Android

Can you show more detail about the stack trace of this exception?

[acanteroruiz]

that´s the stacktrace with the error @dgilperez commented

[0m [log] [31m PlatformException(, Not except type: uid, null, null) [0m [log] [31m #0 StandardMethodCodec.decodeEnvelope (package:flutter/src/services/message_codecs.dart:607:7) #1 MethodChannel._invokeMethod (package:flutter/src/services/platform_channel.dart:167:18) <asynchronous suspension> #2 _LiveVideoViewState._startAgora (package:rosita/features/live/live_video_view.dart:128:9) <asynchronous suspension> [0m

@acanteroruiz Can you share what's the type of uid?

[acanteroruiz]

Hi @littleGnAl , uId is type String

[dgilperez]

@acanteroruiz is correct. What more information do you need?

For reference, our current status is of major blockade:

• Flutter 3 will not work with Agora 4.2 (android will not compile). We're already in flutter 3.
• Agora 5.3, will not work for Android (this issue) nor iOS (crash seen in other issues here)
• Agora 5.2, crashes with iOS

Are you aware of this? Is there anything we can do to work around this blockade? Can you share some timeline on potential fixes from your side? We need to plan the next release ...

Thanks

The uid should be int for the joinChannel function.

I'm not sure why the uid with String type works with the joinChannel function in your case if you need to use uid of String type you should use the joinChannelWithUserAccount function.

Here an example: https://github.com/AgoraIO/Agora-Flutter-SDK/blob/f76a0563482a5f3ff973e4e2cff802f04d57f5ef/example/lib/examples/basic/string_uid/string_uid.dart#L74

@littleGnAl sorry for the confusion - joinChannel is in deed accepting an int as uid.

We are now able to operate apparently without issues. As you suggested, we moved from joinChannel to joinChannelWithUserAccount and suddenly everything works.

Digging this a bit deeper, it seems both methods use different API endpoints. A bit surprising if you ask me, but that's also probably a good hint for someone more knowledgeable to dig deeper: the first method is totally broken for us, the second works.

Without additional information, we are unfortunately not sure how to resolve this issue. We are therefore reluctantly going to close this bug for now. If you find this problem please file a new issue with the same description, what happens, logs and the output. All system setups can be slightly different so it's always better to open new issues and reference the related ones. Thanks for your contribution.
