Hey @dsouksavatd,

Can you share the relevant code that’s throwing this error? Ideally in the form of a Snack, but a code snippet would suffice.

Cheers,
Adam

import * as SecureStore from 'expo-secure-store';

_onLogin = async () => {
try { 
            SecureStore.setItemAsync('EMAIL', 'dsouksavatd@gmail.com');
            
} catch(error) {
throw(error);
}

I get the same error via sentry for some users.

There were 2 errors encountered while processing this event

  • exception.values.0.stacktrace.frames : Discarded invalid value Expand
  • trimHeadFrames : Discarded unknown attribute

All errors by Android v.21 and Android v.22

5

We get the same error for one Android device (SM-N920C) v.22/5.11

Using:
await SecureStore.setItemAsync(‘token’, jwt);

Hey all,

If any of you are able to create a reproducible example of this error, would you mind creating a Github issue for it?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi,

Any news? It’s with any simple securestore call it crashes. SO I still have user experienced error on register to my app when i call SecureStore, only on android 21 & 22
Really annoying :confused:

It’s hard to help without a reproducible example. Is there a chance your value is over the limit? Size limit for a value is 2048 bytes

9

well, I’ve checked value is under 2048 bytes for sure, its hard to find error source because its only response a single line of message not much details even I have look at source code from https://github.com/expo/expo/blob/master/android/versioned-abis/expoview-abi31_0_0/src/main/java/abi31_0_0/host/exp/exponent/modules/api/SecureStoreModule.java but I find a temporary solution by using Platform.os == ‘ios’ ? SecureStore.setItemAsync(“value”) : AsyncStorage.setItem(“value”) its work fine

I have plenty of secure store use in my app, but i think no one is working right now for android 21 / 22, and I can’t really try without same old phone on android 21 / 22.

Sentry rapport error :

sentry%20portion%20android

Datas are definitively under 2048 bytes, the longest one is a 100 character long token

First thing in my app, I check internet ans set item:

NetInfo.isConnected.fetch().then(isConnected => {});

function handleFirstConnectivityChange(isConnected) {
    if (isConnected) _updateNetInfoStatus('online')
    else _updateNetInfoStatus('offline')
}

NetInfo.isConnected.addEventListener(
    'connectionChange',
    handleFirstConnectivityChange
);

_updateNetInfoStatus = async (val) => {
    await SecureStore.setItemAsync('netinfo_status', val);
};

This is breaking at the start i think, I’ll try to avoid the SecureStore for android 21 / 22
But I don’t really think it’s a good solution.

Never had this error until I upgraded to the sdk 33 also.
Maybe some stuffs have changed for the new 64 bits support, and something broke this for android 21/22.

Anyway,

SUGGESTION :
i didn’t find anything about this in expo, but it will be cool to put in app.json a minimum sdk version flag for android like :

"android" : {
    "miniSdkVersion: 23"
}

(It would solved the problem by the meantime (by exclude old android) :smile: )

Thanks

Thanks @ncailleux

"android" : {
    "miniSdkVersion: 23"
}

its make sense, I will try later

12

Aha, it doesn’t work, it’s a suggestion of a thing that would be cool in expo ^^
Sorry for the misunderstanding

13

I have the same issue on Android 22. I’ll try excluding this Android version like suggests @ncailleux

14

I excluded android 22 and it works, thanks @ncailleux

"android" : {
    "miniSdkVersion: 23"
}
15

How is that possible, as i said, it’s a thing i made up, i don’t think it’s a flag that can work damn :smile:

A Github issue was opened

Hope it can be fixed
