iOS App no longer refreshing photos after removing offline files

[pjft]

The bug

I open the iOS app but it no longer refreshes photos since this afternoon. The only thing that happened today was that I was curating some of my photos, deleting some from my external library and then deleted offline files. Also rotated a few and refreshed thumbnails and metadata.

The error messages are the following, on the iOS front:

PlatformDispatcher - Catch all

type '_Map<String, dynamic>' is not a subtype of type 'String' in type cast

Reproduction steps

(I'm assuming the cause is what I describe in step 1).

1. Open a library-initialized iOS app after deleting external files and removing offline files from the server.
2. The library won't refresh.

Dup #9295

Thanks.

Hi @alextran1502 . Just to say that, at least on iOS, and with the latest version v1.104.0 on both server and app, the issue still seems to happen. I had to log out and log back in to resume proper behavior.

I just replicated it, and the steps to replicate it are as described:

1 - Start from an iniatialized app library.
2 - Kill the app.
3 - On the server, delete one photo (either from the file system, or delete it from the UI and then empty the trash - this needs to be done)
4 - Open the iOS app.

This will still happen, same error.

Please review this status, or I'm happy to submit a new issue if it helps, but at least on iOS this remains.

The error comes from trying to refresh the remote deletions.

Thanks, I hope this helps. Also, congrats on Immich - it's an awesome project.

@pjft Thank you, I can reproduce the issue now

[pjft]

By all means, happy to help. Let me know if there's any further information I can provide or testing. I'm on Testflight, if you'd like me to try out a development version of the app, if it helps. Have a great week!

Found the problem, working on a fix :)
