Should the server-side UID match the UID used in the React Native app?

[brightakin]

When the token and channel name is created on the server side a UID is passed. This particular UID is a string but when I try to pass the exact same UID I get this error:

[2024-12-06 05:57:24.297][12123][E][IAgoraRtcEngine_wrapper.cc:1138] exception: [json.exception.type_error.302] type must be number, but is string.

This means that the UID should be a number. I tried passing 0 so that Agora generates a UID but the user was not able to join. I want to confirm if the server side UID needs to be the same as the UID from the client side which is react native in this case.

@brightakin if you want to use string uid , you should use https://api-ref.agora.io/en/voice-sdk/react-native/4.x/API/class_irtcengine.html#api_irtcengine_joinchannelwithuseraccount2
