Issue Description
The ParseObject returned by LiveQuery events gives Date in String format, instead of Date format. Problem seem to specifically pertain to "Update" events. Strangely, some Date fields are returned in Date format while some are returned in String format.
I have tried several Parse-Server versions and with the exception of version 3.1.1, all other versions 3.7.2, 3.8.0, and 3.9.0 seem to have this problem.
P.S. I am aware that special fields like updatedAt and createdAt return String values. I was referring to custom Date fields created by me.
Note: I am using Back4App, which is a backend-as-a-service built on Parse.
Steps to reproduce
Codes in Android client
ParseQuery<ParseObject> liveQuery = ParseQuery.getQuery("QueueGP");
liveQuery.whereEqualTo("clinic", clinicId);
SubscriptionHandling<ParseObject> subscription = parseLiveQueryClient.subscribe(liveQuery);
subscription.handleEvents(new SubscriptionHandling.HandleEventsCallback<ParseObject>() {
@Override
public void onEvents(ParseQuery<ParseObject> query, SubscriptionHandling.Event event, ParseObject parseObject) {
if(event == SubscriptionHandling.Event.UPDATE){
Date registeredAt = parseObject.getDate("registeredAt");
} ...
}
});
Expected Results
onEvent from ParseLiveQueryClient (seen in verbose in my logs)
... Socket onMessage {"op":"update", ... "registeredAt":{"__type":"Date","iso":"2020-01-15T12:19:07.175Z"}}
Expected to see "Date" and "iso", and parseObject.getDate("registeredAt"); should contain date value
Actual Outcome
No "Date" or "iso" seen.
"registeredAt":"2020-01-15T12:19:19.759Z"
In actual, parseObject.getDate("registeredAt") gives null value, while parseObject.get("registeredAt"); gives value of String type
