BOXContentClient logout

[ManasaMS85]

is their a specific method to logout - when using the appuser - instantiating a client using Server-to-Server auth. i am doing if let boxContentClientDefault = BOXContentClient.default() { boxContentClientDefault.logOut() } But this doesn't seem to logout the appuser . Is their anything i am missing in logout.

My boxsdk instantiation is : boxContentClient = BOXContentClient(for: authUser, initialToken: nil, fetchTokenBlockInfo: nil, fetchTokenBlock: fetchToken)!

@mattwiller - Could you help with this issue . I tried boxContentClientDefault.logOut(), tried with the instance.logout and the static method - BOXContentClient.logoutall()

None of them seem to work

@ManasaMS85 The default client and the client you instantiate are different — calling .logOut() on the default client will not log out your client. If you created the client like boxContentClient = BOXContentClient(for: authUser, initialToken: nil, fetchTokenBlockInfo: nil, fetchTokenBlock: fetchToken)!, you'll want to call boxContentClient.logOut() instead. That should revoke the access token being used and cancel any in-flight operations.

boxContentClient.logOut() also doesnot work - as the connected SDK instance is corrupted . We have sample app which we did for login and logout and we were able to see the sdk instance gets corrected . thats the same reason we have "unable to load image " issue as well.

Steps to reproduce

1. Logout the app
2. login the app
3. Open box preview
4. Logout again - the logout fails

@ManasaMS85 I'm able to reproduce the issue as you describe (thank you for the sample app!), and I'm in the process of investigating the issue. In the meantime, I think it's likely that the issue might be due to your re-use of a single shared boxContentClient instance. Could you try instantiating a new client using BOXContentClient(for: authUser, initialToken: nil, fetchTokenBlockInfo: nil, fetchTokenBlock: fetchToken) for each login instead of trying to re-authenticate the same client after it has been logged out?

@mattwiller - For each new login i have been instantiating a new client - But unfortunately the previous logout does not work - this new instantiation does not seem to work perfectly.

When i create a new instance of the client - unable to load image issue is resolved

@ManasaMS85 Can you explain a bit more what you mean by "the previous logout does not work"? In your sample app, it does not appear that you're instantiating a new client at login — the code is re-authenticating the same client instance.

If creating a new instance of the client resolves your issue, is that an acceptable solution to this issue?
