Problem syncing tasks with taskserver

[maxwai]

Describe your issue

There is a Problem with syncing tasks with a taskserver. As far as I can tell, the sync key is not correctly saved.

I've attached the taskserver log to be able to troubleshoot as I don't see any logs when running the app with flutter.

Also I've noticed that tasks created on the PC (before setting up the app, as after setting up the app is the same problem as above) are not shown in the app after the first sync even if the taskserver did send every task.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create Task on phone
2. sync app with taskserver
3. sync PC with taskserver, task comes up
4. on PC, mark task as done/delete whatever, just make a change
5. sync PC with taskserver
6. sync app with taskserver
7. change is not visible on the app

What was the expected result?

Normally I would expect the app to be able to sync task changes that are not made in the app since this is the whole point of a taskserver.

Put here any screenshots or videos (optional)

Here are the logs from the taskserver, with explanations what is being done: (IPs are redacted)
