Authentication fails in release mode

[el-lsan]

I'm using this library inside my react-native based application and I just found a weird bug when the debug mode is off. Everything works just fine and as expected when I'm turning on the debug mode but If I turn off the debug mode, the authentication function is failing somehow.

this is how I initialised my instance:

import WPAPI from 'wpapi';

const wpapi = new WPAPI({
  endpoint: 'https://mydomain.com/wp-json',
  username: 'username',
  password: 'password,
});

wpapi.posts = wpapi.registerRoute('wp/v2', '/posts/(?P<id>)');

and in here's my action:

export function fetchPosts(currentPage = 1) {
  return (dispatch) => {
    dispatch(requestPosts());
    return wpapi.posts().perPage(50).page(currentPage)
      .embed()
      .get((err, data) => {
        if (err) {
          console.log(err);
        }
        console.log(data);
      });
  };
}

The protected fields are only being fetched when the debug mode is on! I also tried following solution to manually force the authentication:

wpapi.posts().auth({username: 'username', password: 'password'}).perPage(50).page(currentPage)
      .embed()
      .get((err, data) => {
        if (err) {
          console.log(err);
        }
        console.log(data);
      });

but it doesn't change the behaviour!

any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

I'm afraid I don't have any obvious solution to offer. I am not personally experienced with React Native, but I would assume (as you have) that this should not change how the authentication gets sent. Can you test with a proxy to see whether the authorization header is being passed from your application at all?

I know it's a hassle, but given my lack of familiarity with React Native, to go further I'd need to ask for a reduced test case demonstrating the bug that I could pull down and experiment with.
