Live Update always fires rollback (v6)

[petargrgic97]

Hi, I have a feeling that I'm doing something wrong while trying to implement Live Update.
Even though I call LiveUpdate.ready() before setting the new version, the application constantly tries to rollback which fires a reload. And then after the reload the whole cycle happens again - setting next bundle, reloading ... and rollback.

I am unsure what I am doing wrong. The following code is what is being executed every time the app starts:

  useEffect(() => {
    async function setUp() {
      await LiveUpdate.ready();

      const { nextBundleId: bundleId } = await LiveUpdate.sync();
      await LiveUpdate.setNextBundle({ bundleId });
      await LiveUpdate.reload();
    }

    setUp();
  }, []);

Also capacitor.config is:

LiveUpdate:{ readyTimeout:10000, resetOnUpdate:false }

In LogCat I am getting "App is not ready. Rolling back to default bundle."

Unsure if I am doing something wrong because I am using v6 of the Plugin, and there's guide only for v7 afaik. Help would be appreciated!

You have to call the "ready" method as soon as possible directly at app start. Feel free to share code if you want.

Hi Robin, thanks for answering.

Even when I set a timeout in order to make sure "sync" gets called later than "ready", I am still having the same problem.
This is the only piece of code that touches on Live Update:

  useEffect(() => {
    async function setUp() {
      await LiveUpdate.ready();

      setTimeout(async () => {
        const { nextBundleId: bundleId } = await LiveUpdate.sync();
        await LiveUpdate.setNextBundle({ bundleId });
        await LiveUpdate.reload();
      }, 5000);
    }

    setUp();
  }, []);

Should "ready" event fire a log in LogCat that I can search for? I will try to make a repro.

It doesn't matter when you call "sync". You just have to call the "ready" method directly at app startup within the ready timeout (see configuration options). And yes, there should be logs in LogCat. Also, check out the WebView console logs to check if your method is invoked at app startup.

Hi, what made all of this clear for me is that "sync" result will be null if the app is up to date. This fixed my loop problem, thanks once again for responding.

Yes, that's correct. You're welcome!
