Ionic: Uncaught Error: API request /v1/profile missing parameter identity_id

[Gp2mv3]

Hi,
I'm trying to use Branch for my Ionic app but it's impossible... I receive this error when trying to set the identity or generating a link (this one is from setIdentity):
Uncaught Error: API request /v1/profile missing parameter identity_id

The init is done correctly as I don't receive any error. But what is strange here is that the result of the init function is an empty structure:
{"data":null,"data_parsed":null,"has_app":null,"identity":null,"referring_identity":null,"referring_link":null}

The init is done in $ionicPlatform.ready and the createUrl is done via a user action (so after init).

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks !

Hi @Gp2mv3 - That's quite strange.

1. Can you enable debug (branch.setDebug(true);) and share the logs?
2. Can you also share how you're initing the library? Here's a Cordova example: https://github.com/BranchMetrics/Cordova-Ionic-PhoneGap-Deferred-Deep-Linking-SDK/blob/master/cordova-testbed/www/js/index.js#L38

Lastly, how did you add the module? NPM or from the Github repo?

Hi, thanks for this fast answer.
branch.setDebug(true); doesn't do anything (it seems). Where are the logs normally (Logcat or Browser logs) ?

The init is done like this:

 $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
    if (window.cordova) {
      branch.setDebug(true);
      branch.init(Config.branchKey, function(err, data) {
        console.log("branch ready");
        console.log(err);
        console.log("data "+JSON.stringify(data));
      });

      $ionicPlatform.on('resume', function(err, data) {
        branch.init(Config.branchKey, function(err, data){
          console.log("branch resume");
        });
      });
    }
  });

Where Config.branchKey is the test key. Then the url generation is done via

      branch.link({
        channel: 'shareMenu',
        feature: 'group',
        stage: 'share group',

        data: {
          "$deeplink_path": "app/group/"+$scope.group._id
        }
      }, function(err, link){
        if(err) {
          alert(err);
        }
        else {
          window.plugins.socialsharing.share($scope.group.name, null, null, link);
        }
      });

I installed the plugin via ionic plugin add https://github.com/BranchMetrics/Cordova-Ionic-PhoneGap-Deferred-Deep-Linking-SDK.git.

Thanks !

Hmm.. that's right. I think debug mode was never implemented in this version. We're about to roll out an entirely new version of the Cordova SDK with all of this implemented properly.

@Gp2mv3 And is this with the Test version of Nightspot? I see a few successful opens, and a link that was created in the live view. https://dashboard.branch.io/#/liveview/events/view This would indicate it's working some of the time...

• Can you try changing the init method to:
  branch.init(Config.branchKey, { }, function(err, data) {

[Gp2mv3]

Yes it's for NightSpot but I'm still getting this error and I
Even with branch.init(Config.branchKey, { }, function(err, data) {...

What's weird is that I see in the Dashboard that I opened the app multiple times and that Identities are stored as well. I recognize my phone in the events. So maybe the error is a false alarm ?

EDIT: By removing the CSP, the error disapeared but it's not really a good solution...
Here is the CSP I'm using:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' https: wss: data: gap: https://ssl.gstatic.com; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; media-src *">

Of, by enabling eval, it's working so it's the exact same issue as issue #30.
