React native crash on Android for latest version 5.0.0

Question

When calling the IntercomModule.loginUserWithUserAttributes without an email it crashes because the IntercomHelpers.getValueAsStringForKey(params, “email”); line here is being called even if there is no email and there is no null check in that method: https://github.com/intercom/intercom-react-native/blob/9623a0c4822e91949d27357ef21df845cc91f38f/android/src/main/java/com/intercom/reactnative/IntercomModule.java#L139 . Same this would happen if no userId was passed in. Both values are checked to see if they are there, but even if they are not it still attempts to get them rom the params. It can be bypassed by passing in an empty string, but that is not ideal.

Hi @cody.rouecheI have just a few questions to help confirm the situation that you’re running into.You’re saying when you try logging a user in with the RN SDK’sIntercom.loginUserWithUserAttributes method with only a UserID, it crashes. This doesn’t happen when you include an email address or an empty string as the Email address, correct?Your title says this is happening in Android. Have you tried implementing this in iOS as well? If so, does the same thing happen there?Are you able to share your crash logs?
