[@nativescript/background-http] iOS 14 compatibility

[relez]

I am having an issue with iOS 14 where if I try to upload multiple files the app crashes, I was able to verify and the images are being uploaded, but looks like the app crashes when it tries to execute the events:

task.on("progress", onUploadProgress);
task.on("error", onUploadError);
task.on("complete", onUploadCompleted);

Here is my console logs:

***** Fatal JavaScript exception - application has been terminated. *****

Also the single file upload does not work either, it does nothing.

Facing same issue

Same issue for me. I'm using Vue. My code with NS6 worked correctly.

I’m using @nativescript/background-http with NS7 and Vue. I’m following the demo but I get an error when I upload (let task = sess.multipartUpload(params, request)) and I don’t understand how fix it.

Error:

***** Fatal JavaScript exception - application has been terminated. *****
NativeScript encountered a fatal error: Uncaught Error: -[NSInvocation getArgument:atIndex:]: NULL address argument
at 

Code:

let urlString = parseComplexEndpoint(api.endpoints['tc_list'], [this.tr.id, this.ts.id]);
            let sess = session("file-upload");
            let request = {
                url: urlString,
                method: "POST",
                headers: {
                    "Authorization": 'Bearer ' + apiToken(),
                    "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
                }
            };
            let params = [
                {
                    name: "body",
                    value: this.message
                }
            ];
            if (this.attachments && this.attachments.length > 0) {
                this.attachments.forEach((item) => {
                    if (item.file && item.file != '') {
                        params.push(
                            {
                                name: this.getFilenameAndExtention(item.file),
                                filename: item.file.replace("file://","")
                            }
                        );
                    }
                });
            }
            console.log("multipartUpload request", JSON.stringify(request));
            console.log("multipartUpload params", JSON.stringify(params));
            this.loading = true;
            let task = sess.multipartUpload(params, request);
            task.on("error", (e) => {
                console.log("upload error", JSON.stringify(e));
                alert("error received " + e.responseCode + " code.");
            });
            task.on("responded", (e) => {
                console.log("responded", JSON.stringify(e) );
                console.log("responded data", JSON.stringify(e.data) );
                // alert("responded received " + e.responseCode + " code. Server sent: " + e.data);
            });
            task.on("complete", (e) => {
                // alert("complete received " + e.responseCode + " code");
                console.log("upload complete", JSON.stringify(e));
                this.loading = false;
                if (e.responseCode >= 200 && e.responseCode < 300) {
                    this.$store.commit('showFeedback', {
                        type: 'success',
                        message: 'Reply added correctly',
                    });
                    this.$navigateBack();
                } else {
                    this.$store.commit('showFeedback', {
                        type: 'error',
                        message: 'Error with ' + e.responseCode + ' code',
                    });
                }
            });

Before upgrade to NS7 it works correctly
