Can't add new entry on Android - API Guid error

[nsymms]

When trying to add a new entry using the Android app, I get a "unhandled server error has occurred" popup. I tried several times, different info, etc. All fail.

This was working fine with the previous Android App version AFAIK. I'm not sure when it updated, but seems like it was in the past couple of weeks.

Checking the API log on my self-hosted server has

fail: Bit.Api.Utilities.ExceptionHandlerFilterAttribute[0]
      Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
System.FormatException: Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).
   at System.Guid.GuidResult.SetFailure(ParseFailureKind failure, String failureMessageID, Object failureMessa
geFormatArgument, String failureArgumentName, Exception innerException)
   at System.Guid.TryParseGuidWithNoStyle(ReadOnlySpan`1 guidString, GuidResult& result)
   at System.Guid.TryParseGuid(ReadOnlySpan`1 guidString, GuidStyles flags, GuidResult& result)
   at System.Guid..ctor(String g)
...

Self-Hosted back-end v1.30.4 (version of docker images)
Android v9 on Samsung S9+
Android app v2.0.6

Adding entries via the web page seems to work without problems.

Any ideas?

I am not sure why the app would be sending invalid IDs. When adding an item, there shouldn't be an ID to begin with since the server should generate that. Can you provide more context around the error log?

Here's the log of a typical failed request. Is there a debug flag I can set somewhere to log more detail?

Does this happen every time when adding an item? What are the parameters of the item you are trying to create? Just you just create a new login with nothing but a name, does that also fail?

[nsymms]

All I have to do is hit the + button at the bottom of the app, type in something for the Name, and tap SAVE. That gives me the error. It fails on two Android devices that I have. Every time. I can, however, make updates to entries without issue. So maybe it's restricted to the POST request?

Since nobody else has reported anything, I'm thinking it's related to my server, but the web UI on the server, the Chrome plugin on Windows 7, and the app on Windows 7 can add items without any problems.

BTW, the Android app updated (today or yesterday) to v2.1.0.

FWIW I encountered this issue as a hosted Bitwarden user as well. Updating the android client to the latest version as of 2019-07-12 on Google Play did not correct the problem.

Repro steps

1. Open Bitwarden app
2. Sign in
3. Click plus sign
4. Enter details (name/username/password/uri)
5. Click save
6. App closes, your changes are lost

I can confirm that on a Win7 x64 system running the Firefox bitwarden addon, I am able to create records but manually syncing them does not cause the records to appear at least as of yet.

[kspearrin]

Are you using the official server implementation or some community-developed version?

[nsymms]

I'm using the official docker setup. Managed via bitwarden.sh.

I am having the same issue since changing to bitwarden from lastpass. Android app cannot update or create new entries.
