realm
Support for Android Instant Apps with Android App Bundle.
How frequently does the bug occur?
All the time
Description
When I use the Instant App of my application which is distributed through Google Play, I am getting this error while I tried to use a realm operation to wait for synchronization between Realm and Mongo db or doing an insert operation like:
override suspend fun upsertPartial(key: String, value: String?): ObjectId {
var objectId: ObjectId? = null
val insertedValue: PartialEntity? = this.getPartialByKey(key)
val realm: Realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
realm.executeTransactionAwait(this.dispatcher) {
objectId = insertedValue?.partialId ?: ObjectId()
val partialEntity = PartialEntity(
partialId = objectId!!,
partitionKey = this.invitationPartitionKey,
invitationId = this.invitationId,
key = key,
value = value
)
// ERROR
realm.insertOrUpdate(partialEntity)
}
realm.close()
return objectId!!
}
INSTALLED VERSION OF THE APP DOESN'T THROW THIS ERROR!

Can you reproduce the bug?
Yes, always
Reproduction Steps
Initializing a realm application like:
object RealmProviderManager {
private const val TAG = "RealmProviderManager"
private var realmApplication: App? = null
private var user: User? = null
private var realmSyncConfiguration: SyncConfiguration? = null
private var syncSession: SyncSession? = null
suspend fun initialize(context: Context, realmAppId: String, partitionKey: String): Boolean {
return try {
Realm.init(context)
if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
RealmLog.setLevel(LogLevel.ALL)
}
val realmAppConfiguration = AppConfiguration.Builder(realmAppId)
.build()
this.realmApplication = App(realmAppConfiguration)
this.initialize(this.realmApplication!!, partitionKey)
this.initializeRealmSession()
true
} catch (ex: Exception) {
// TODO log error to telemetry
false
}
}
suspend fun initialize(realmApplication: App, partitionKey: String) {
this.realmApplication = realmApplication
this.user = this.loginToRealm()
realmSyncConfiguration = SyncConfiguration.Builder(
this.user,
partitionKey
).build()
if(Realm.getDefaultConfiguration()?.realmFileName != realmSyncConfiguration?.realmFileName) {
Realm.setDefaultConfiguration(realmSyncConfiguration!!)
}
}
private suspend fun loginToRealm(): User? {
return suspendCancellableCoroutine { continuation ->
// TODO update this to use a custom JWT token or maybe a custom function
val credentials: Credentials = Credentials.anonymous()
realmApplication!!.loginAsync(credentials) { loginResult ->
if (loginResult.isSuccess) {
val loginUser: User? = loginResult.get()
continuation.resume(loginUser) {
// implementation not required
}
}
// otherwise the exception will be thrown in the coroutine
// and this should be catch in the consumer of this function
else {
val error: AppException = loginResult.error
continuation.resumeWithException(error)
}
}
}
}
private fun initializeRealmSession() {
this.syncSession = realmApplication?.sync?.getOrCreateSession(realmSyncConfiguration)
syncSession?.start()
}
@OptIn(ExperimentalCoroutinesApi::class)
suspend fun waitToDownloadComplete(): Boolean {
val realm: Realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance()
return suspendCancellableCoroutine { cancelableContinuation ->
syncSession?.addDownloadProgressListener(ProgressMode.INDEFINITELY) { progress ->
if(progress.isTransferComplete) {
cancelableContinuation.resume(true){
// Implementation not required
}
realm.close()
}
}
}
}
In my view model I call the function like.
class SynchronizationViewModel @Inject constructor(
private val dispatcher: CoroutineDispatcher = Dispatchers.IO
) : ViewModel() {
fun initializeViewModel() {
this.viewModelScope.launch(this.dispatcher) {
try {
// ...
RealmProviderManager.waitToDownloadComplete()
} catch (exception: Exception) {
// ...
}
}
}

Instant apps have a limitation that does not allow creating named pipes, required by the realm commit notifier. It has been reported to google and they are looking into it, see https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/203772220
