ParseUser.getCurrentUser() is null after app update

[jjalan]

If the user has installed the app and logged in with Facebook (done using Parse Android SDK UI Library), everything is working great. Now, when we publish a new version of the app and the user updates the app, ParseUser.getCurrentUser() is returning null.

I am initializing Parse in Application.java as follows:

Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this); Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(this) .applicationId(getString(R.string.parse_app_id)) .clientKey(getString(R.string.parse_client_key)) .server(getString(R.string.parse_server_url)) .build() );

On my MainActivity (launcher Activity), I do the following:

if (ParseUser.getCurrentUser() == null) { Intent intent = new Intent(this, LoginActivity.class); ParseLoginConfig config = new ParseLoginConfig(); config.setFacebookLoginEnabled(true); intent.putExtras(config.toBundle()); startActivityForResult(intent, LOGIN_REQUEST); }

Here, LoginActivity derives from ParseLoginActivity. This is the only place we show login screen. This implies that on every update, somehow ParseUser.getCurrentUser() is getting null.

Is this expected? I do not want to force the user to re-login everytime they update the app.

I have been able to now get a 100% repro step:

Pre-conditions:

1. Ensure mobile has internet connectivity.
2. Ensure that parse server (hosted) is not reachable.
3. Ensure that localStorage is enabled.

Now:

1. Login with Facebook first
2. Parse SDK would then try to logIn with Facebook auth type.

Since the server is not up, it will fail saying login with facebook failed. Now ensure Parse server is up.

Now try to login again with Facebook but now app will never be able to login as it keeps failing. The only way to recover is reinstall the app.

After setting Parse log level as verbose, I see that Parse makes network requests first time:

V/com.parse.ParseRequest: Request failed. Waiting 1140 milliseconds before attempt #1
V/com.parse.ParseRequest: Request failed. Waiting 2280 milliseconds before attempt #2
V/com.parse.ParseRequest: Request failed. Waiting 4560 milliseconds before attempt #3
V/com.parse.ParseRequest: Request failed. Waiting 9120 milliseconds before attempt #4

However, after second time onwards, I don't see any request made the client. Furthermore, even if I call ParseUser.logout() before user clicks on login agin, it still does not make the request
