iOS sdk save: does't call callback

I found this code in sdk file PersistenceServiceUtils

func update(entity: [String : Any], responseHandler: (([String : Any]) -> Void)!, errorHandler: ((Fault) -> Void)!) {
        let headers = ["Content-Type": "application/json"]
        let parameters = PersistenceHelper.shared.convertDictionaryValuesFromGeometryType(entity)
        if let objectId = entity["objectId"] as? String {
            BackendlessRequestManager(restMethod: "data/\(tableName)/\(objectId)", httpMethod: .put, headers: headers, parameters: parameters).makeRequest(getResponse: { response in
                if let result = ProcessResponse.shared.adapt(response: response, to: JSON.self) {
                    if result is Fault {
                        errorHandler(result as! Fault)
                    }
                    else {
                        if let updatedUser = ProcessResponse.shared.adapt(response: response, to: BackendlessUser.self) as? BackendlessUser,
                            Backendless.shared.userService.stayLoggedIn,
                            let current = Backendless.shared.userService.getCurrentUser(),
                            updatedUser.objectId == current.objectId,
                            let currentToken = current.userToken {
                            updatedUser.setUserToken(value: currentToken)
                            Backendless.shared.userService.setPersistentUser(currentUser: updatedUser)
                        }
                        else if let resultDictionary = (result as! JSON).dictionaryObject,
                            let responseDictionary = PersistenceHelper.shared.convertToBLType(resultDictionary) as? [String : Any] {
                            responseHandler(responseDictionary)
                        }
                    }
                }
            })
        }
    }

It leads to situation when the success callback of this method is never called

1st Problem is in Line 103:
let responseDictionary = PersistenceHelper.shared.convertToBLType(resultDictionary) as? [String : Any]

It never passes check in if which call it

2nd Problem is in line 94 a later
if let updatedUser = ProcessResponse.shared.adapt(response: response, to: Backendle...

When the condition is true (which is easy to reach) callback (neither success or fail) will never be called

Hi @Nikolai_Suvorov

Do you mean Swift SDK or iOS SDK? I cant find the PersistenceServiceUtils class in our iOS SDK.

Yes, sorry - Swift SDK

Hello, @Nikolai_Suvorov,

For the update method server can return error or dictionary with updated object.
If we receive error - the error handler is called.
If we receive dictionary - we just check its fields and values for necessary transformations (the convertToBLType method) - nothing should fail here.

Could you please provide an example when callback should be called but it doesn’t?

Yes. Sure
I’m trying to update standard table Users with info like

▿ 4 elements
▿ 0 : 2 elements
- key : “email”
- value : shartax@gmail.com
▿ 1 : 2 elements
- key : “phone”
- value : +380 73 102 4122
▿ 2 : 2 elements
- key : “name”
- value : Artem
▿ 3 : 2 elements
- key : “objectId”
- value : 0EF04990-32AE-E393-FF17-821CF824B800

Please check the line 103
let responseDictionary = PersistenceHelper.shared.convertToBLType(resultDictionary) as ? [String : Any ]
convertToBLType retunes BackendlessUser object and when trying to cast it to [String : Any ] it fails and never calls callback

And according to line 94 - thank you for noticing, we’ll fix it so the BackendlessUser object will return in response. As a workaround for this table I can advise to use the update method of the UserService class instead.
The internal ticket BKNDLSS-20796 is created.

if you plan to pass BackendlessUser object as a return value you’ll modify function signature, right?
I mean from
func update(entity: [String : Any ], responseHandler: (([String : Any ]) -> Void)!, errorHandler: ((Fault) -> Void)!) {
to
func update(entity: BackendlessUser, responseHandler: (([String : Any ]) -> Void)!, errorHandler: ((Fault) -> Void)!) {

I think it should be something like

    func update(entity: [String : Any], responseHandler: (([String : Any]) -> Void)!, errorHandler: ((Fault) -> Void)!) {
    let headers = ["Content-Type": "application/json"]
    let parameters = PersistenceHelper.shared.convertDictionaryValuesFromGeometryType(entity)
    if let objectId = entity["objectId"] as? String {
        BackendlessRequestManager(restMethod: "data/\(tableName)/\(objectId)", httpMethod: .put, headers: headers, parameters: parameters).makeRequest(getResponse: { response in
            if let result = ProcessResponse.shared.adapt(response: response, to: JSON.self) {
                if result is Fault {
                    errorHandler(result as! Fault)
                }
                else {
                    if let updatedUser = ProcessResponse.shared.adapt(response: response, to: BackendlessUser.self) as? BackendlessUser,
                        Backendless.shared.userService.stayLoggedIn,
                        let current = Backendless.shared.userService.getCurrentUser(),
                        updatedUser.objectId == current.objectId,
                        let currentToken = current.userToken {
                        updatedUser.setUserToken(value: currentToken)
                        Backendless.shared.userService.setPersistentUser(currentUser: updatedUser)
                    }
                    
                    if let resultDictionary = (result as! JSON).dictionaryObject {
                        responseHandler(resultDictionary)
                    }
                }
            }
        })
    }
}

The BKNDLSS-20796 ticket is created. We’ll investigate this issue and fix it as soon as possible.
As a workaround you can update user object using the update method form UserService.

Thanks

Issue has been fixed.
Could you please update to v5.7.7 and verify whether it works now?
