Sharedpreferences doesn't work on IOS

[i-Senku]

When I sign in, I can see the session, but when I restart the application

client.auth.session()
client.auth.user()
client.auth.currentUser

all values return null.

same problem.

How do you check authentication on app start? can you share your code snippet?

@i-Senku only on iOS? Have you tested in other platforms?

@phamhieu
on root screen i'm calling this method.
SupaBaseManager.shared.client.auth.user() and it returns null.
I thought the package works like how firebase works.I expected to get the value of logged user when I restart the app.

@bdlukaa

android and web have the same issue.

or I misunderstood the working logic of the application.

It's a bit different. See https://github.com/phamhieu/supabase-flutter-demo for an example of how to use it

It's a bit different.

Why is there user(), currentUser and session() functions available.These functions always return null

[bdlukaa]

These functions always return null

Not if the user is logged in...

same problem here. It would be so good if you fix the auth system and make it more useful. (Firebase auth system is a good example)

@batuhankrbb You guys can use supabase_addons (by me). It's very simple to use and the user is stored correctly + you guys get Analytics and Crashlytics to your app

@bdlukaa I was thinking of writing something like this with hive. It's a very helpful package thanks for it

[phamhieu]

just want to give more context. supabase-flutter comes with 2 helper classes SupabaseAuthState and SupabaseAuthRequiredState to support authentication flow.

If you only need supabase client and user session persistent, then the addon from @bdlukaa seems to be a better fit. Take note that you may need to handle session expires on app resume.

@phamhieu in my perspective of a Flutter developer, the current implementation is bad. It's not intuitive at all, and depending on a widget to handle authentication is bad. Compared to Firebase, it's just one line:

await FirebaseApp.initialize();

[phamhieu]

I will make an issue for this. I agree that recoverSession should be done better.
