Return value of AmazonPHP\SellingPartner\Model\Orders\Address::getName() must be of the type string, null returned

[axsweet]

V: amazon-php/sp-api-sdk 4.0.12 Amazon Selling Partner API - PHP SDK PHP V ~7.4

Some address is null so on jsonSerialize() I get this error... seems the data has a null and wants a string.

TypeError

Return value of AmazonPHP\SellingPartner\Model\Orders\Address::getName() must be of the type string, null returned

I removed the strict types requirement on the ask file.

But ultimately i beliehe i didn't have the approval (still waiting) to get the customer info. Found it funnny I can get 85% but need advanced approval for the name but. Anyway.

I had the same problem.

I solved it by adding ? in string return type on getName method from Address class

like this: before: public function getName(): string after: public function getName(): ?string

Yeah i worked around it similarly by either A removing strict type declaration or just the return type. except for the fact that the information in the fields i wanted is infact coming as null because i need extra permissions they wont grant it to be in dev vetting so we are working on that. its frsutratig since we get that info now from MWS already.

It's weird that there were tons of commits since the 2nd of February, but this issue is still not fixed: https://github.com/amazon-php/sp-api-sdk/blob/cda85c7ad9f9fdcd537d4e25d532b022f33feaad/src/AmazonPHP/SellingPartner/Model/Orders/Address.php#L291

The API clearly returns NULL values for the address.name, so this library is not compatible with the Amazon SP-API.

[sergisolanellas]

Amazon will not fix this. The privacy of Amazon avoid to return the name, address, phone, etc...

I think the privacy part is where you need to be approved for PII. I had no problem with our MWS app but now making this new one I think it needs to be approved.

[axsweet]

Yeah shoudlnt throw an error though should have error handling for permissions. Would save devs time.

Anyway i only wanted to make the app for myself (my company) they wont approve my dev access again. Dk why keep saying same reply have zero idea.

Hi! Can you explain how it's possible to contact to Amazon to give the permission of receive all data of the orders?

Thanks

This method returns string or null and shouldn't throw the error anymore.
