Getting error "[AppwriteException: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)]" when trying signin

Hey guys,

I searched the docs, but didn't find a solution. Basically I am making a CRUD app, using react native and email auth in app write. I am getting an error: ERROR [AppwriteException: User (role: guests) missing scope (account)]

And from what I can tell, it is because I am using the account method before intiializing a session in order to check active sessions. So, what's a way to check active sessions on a device without using account.get()? I want to redirect user based on active session type to different screens.

Please help

here is the code snippet that I think is relevant:
const handleSignIn = async () => {
try {
// First check if there is already an active session
const sessions = await account.listSessions();
if (sessions.total > 0) {
// If session exists, get user details
const user = await account.get();
const userProfile = await databases.getDocument('', '', user.$id);
navigateBasedOnRole(userProfile);
} else {
// If no session, create one
await account.createEmailPasswordSession(email, password);
const user = await account.get();
const userProfile = await databases.getDocument('', '', user.$id);
navigateBasedOnRole(userProfile);
}
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
Alert.alert("Error", error.message);
}
};

You use account.get

const getCurrentUser() {
  try {
    return account.get();
  } catch (err) {
    return null;
  }
}

...

const user = getCurrentUser();

if(!user) {
  redirect('sign-in');
}

Yes, I tried account.get() earlier but to no avail, it showed the same error

yes, it will show the error if there is no user, that is what it should do

catch the error and handle it

I can share my gh repo if you want: https://github.com/shafinshaikh/garageappv2

I don't need it

account.get() should throw an error if no one is logged in. You catch that error and handle it appropriately.
