Flutter iOS RevenueCat uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException'

Question

I got this error in console:

[Purchases] - INFO: There is no singleton instance. Make sure you configure Purchases before trying to get the default instance.
*** Assertion failure in +[RCCommonFunctionality getPurchaserInfoWithCompletionBlock:], RCCommonFunctionality.m:118

Lost connection to device.

However, this is an intermittent problem (i.e: doesn't always happen). In fact, I have setup the Purchases instance at startup (i.e: immediately after user is authenticated and I got the UID):

 await Purchases.setDebugLogsEnabled(isDebugEnabled);
 await Purchases.setup(kRevenueCatApiKey, appUserId: uid);

Is there anything I missed? (but most of the time it works)

Solution

I found the problem. So whenever getPurchaserInfo is called, but if Purchaser.setup hasn't finish processing, then it will fire this exception. Thanks to the comment by @Cesar above.

In my case, I found the problem was because:

• I had two Blocs that handles IAP and Business logic respectively.
• The IAP calls Purchases.setup as soon as the user is authenticated. Then at the main screen, the Business logic will check validity of local data with server by doing getPurchaserInfo.
• The problem comes when the internet connection is not great and getPurchaserInfo gets fired by Business logic bloc before Purchases.setup finish processing.

So the solution I did was by making sure that Business logic bloc starts initializing once IAP bloc done with Purchases.setup. Such as placing them in an async function that awaits for each process.

What do you mean with "at startup"? Also, where are you calling getPurchaserInfo? It is being called before your app has the chance to call Purchases.setup

Thanks for the pointer. I finally solve the problem. At start up means I called it immediately after authenticating user. I have fixed the question to reflect this.
