Adding user to contact list is failing

[gbesler]

I can successfully initialize Mailchimp in debug mode and I am trying to create a contact from my app. But I receive an error:

Error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (appname.APIError error 4.)

What I do is:

 var contact: Contact = Contact(emailAddress: "some@email.com")
        
        let emailPermission = Contact.MarketingPermission(marketingPermissionId: "emailPermissinon", enabled: true)
        let mailPermission = Contact.MarketingPermission(marketingPermissionId: "mailPermission", enabled: true)
        let adPermission = Contact.MarketingPermission(marketingPermissionId: "adPermission", enabled: true)

        contact.marketingPermissions = [emailPermission, mailPermission, adPermission]
        MailchimpSDK.createOrUpdate(contact: contact) { result in
            switch result {
            case .success:
                print("Successfully added or updated contact")
            case .failure(let error):
                print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
            }
        }

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @gbesler. Thanks for opening the issue and providing a code sample.

Case 4 in the APIError enum is apiError(response: APIErrorResponse). Could you print out the status, type, and detail of the APIErrorResponse?

        MailchimpSDK.createOrUpdate(contact: contact) { result in
            switch result {
            case .success:
                print("Successfully added or updated contact")
            case .failure(let error):
                print("Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
                switch error {
                case .apiError(response: APIErrorResponse)
                    print("Status: \(response.status), Type: \(response.type), Detail: \(response.detail)")
                }
            }
        }

Hi @michael-patzer
It seems somehow the SDK did not throw an error for "nil" SDK key. It was not entering catch phrase with a nil SDK key.
I guess this should be fixed. Thanks for your help.
