Can't query a specific field using listDocuments

Hello there,

I'm having what is probably a dumb issue but I haven't been able to figure out what I did wrong:

When using the listDocuments function, I'm able to get all documents from a specific collection, but when I add a query no element is returned. I did check that the value was correct both in the database and the code and I'm guessing I just didn't set-up something properly but I'm just lost right now. I did try to change the index type but no success.

I joined some pictures of the code and the collection setup. Hopefully someone can help me find my missing brain cell ❤️

That seems like it should work.

Can you try it one time like this?

queries: [
  Query.equal("phone_number", [phoneNumber])
]

Thank you for the suggestion, I did try it before and just re-did it again, but I still have 0 documents returned. 😦 Without the query, my total is 4 as expected, but when added, it's 0. And I can't even count how many times I made sure the value in the query and in the user database phone_number field were identical.

what did the query print output?

equal("phone_number", ["string"])

With string being a value that matches the value set in the user present in the collection for the field "phone_number". No whitespace or anything, either from the mobile app or on the database.

Note that this output with the string being in an array is the same wether I put the value in an array myself or not.

Ho wow I actually just found the issue, maybe I should have started with that: It's not working with the character "+" in the string.

"+3312345678" in the database and the query -> No results "3312345678" in the database and the query -> 1 Result as expected

Not sure where the issue happens here

This is interesting

Are you running against the cloud or a self-hosted Appwrite instance?

All on the cloud for now, I'm just trying out stuff and seeing how this SDK works so no fancy stuff 😄

so i was able to reproduce this on cloud...but not on my local instance (essentially, 1.3.7). I can't see how/where the query value is being modified in the cloud version..

I guess that at least eliminates a possible parameter encoding issue from the iOS SDK then
