Exception: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream com.google.protobuf.ByteString.newCodedInput()' on a null object reference

This just started in the last 24 hours with some updates to the repo and POGOProtos.

Running the following:
EnvelopesOuterClass.Envelopes.RequestEnvelope.AuthInfo auth = new PTCLogin(client).login(username, password); Log.d(LOG_TAG, auth.toString()); PokemonGoApi = new PokemonGo(auth, client);

Yields this:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'com.google.protobuf.CodedInputStream com.google.protobuf.ByteString.newCodedInput()' on a null object reference
System.err:     at com.google.protobuf.AbstractParser.parsePartialFrom(AbstractParser.java:104)

System.err:     at com.pokegoapi.api.PokemonGo.<init>(PokemonGo.java:53)
System.err:     at Application.loginTest(Application.java:32)

Sometimes it is yielding this exception as well:

com.google.protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message end-group tag did not match expected tag.

Apologies if this is just simply that their API has changed over night.

I am almost ready to push to here a fully working Android version but I need to get this resolved.

You can no longer login using username and password. You'll have to use oauth.

[vmarchaud]

This come from the niantic server being under heavy load, there are very unstable, check the status here.
Btw @guipenedo he is loggin via PTC, its working with username/password.

[guipenedo]

ups sorry about that I misread. thanks for the correction @vmarchaud

[jabbink]

Yeah, this error is related to the servers being offline right now.

[halsafar]

Thanks for the clarification. It must be server load. If I run the same piece of code a bunch of times in a row I get slightly different results.

• InvalidProtocolBuffer Exception
• The null ptr exception I posted.
• No exception and a NULL Player Profile (no data).

If this is all expected due to the naintic servers being under heavy load then lets close this.

[halsafar]

Noted.

[jabbink]

No exception and a NULL Player Profile (no data).

That is actually a bug waiting to be fixed in #46
