App crashes when JWT token expired before it retried to refresh it on init

[buuuudzik]

We are using the Iterable SDK in our project, currently at version 1.3.19:
"@iterable/react-native-sdk": "1.3.19",

Recently, we have encountered errors in production, which I have also been able to reproduce in development mode. It appears that if the app is left logged in and then fully closed for a period longer than the JWT token expiration time, the Iterable SDK does not attempt to refresh the token before using it. This results in a complete app crash, and we have no means to prevent it.

Could you ensure that your SDK cannot cause the app to crash entirely? There should be an error handler to allow us to check what happened in the SDK without encountering an unmanageable low-level error.

Additionally, it would be helpful if we could pass a new auth token via Iterable.setEmail(email, token) while still utilizing the auto-refresh mechanism. Currently, when we pass the token using the mentioned method, the auto-refresh mechanism stops working.

Here is the error we found that causes the app to crash completely:

Hi @buuuudzik, thanks for sharing -- I've reached out through your Support ticket for additional details; please share the full crash log and device info. We will look into this :)

If it's about a device, it can be reproduced on every Android phone, we detected it also on OS version from Android 10 to 14. Personally I'm using for tests Samsung Note 10 Plus.

In our case it looks that this helps (no crash and lib can continue fetching new JWT token and sending events):
