Flurry logEvent not accepting boolean value (crash app with Generic Error - NULL cString)

RedBeach · July 29, 2013, 6:52pm

Hi.

I noticed that in my iOS app, when I use the logEvent function with a param that as a boolean value like

analytics.logEvent("New Game", { test = true}) &nbsp;

the app crashs showing the following error:

\<Warning\>: Generic error&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NSInvalidArgumentException: \*\*\* +[NSString stringWithUTF8String:]: NULL cString &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;( &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;0 &nbsp;

This only happens in iOS, the app run fine in Android.

Anyone with that same problem?

Unfortunately you can’t pass a boolean value to Flurry as a parameter, or it’ll crash exactly as you’re seeing. You can only pass numbers or strings. (As far as I know, that’s not documented anywhere, but I encountered the same issue you’re experiencing a few months ago, and this was the reason.)

You can wrap any value in a tostring() to make it a string:

analytics.logEvent("New Game", { test = tostring(true)})

Corona Staff: What are the chances we could get this documented on the flurry logEvent page, that the values to the params table need to be string or number values? I just ran into this last night, actually, and it hadn’t been working in my app for who knows how long…

Hi Mark,

I’ll update the documentation on this point soon.

Thanks,

Brent
