I’m integrating a QR code payment feature into my Android application using Appwrite’s Realtime API. The implementation involves subscribing to a specific document within a collection to monitor changes.

However, I’m encountering a recurring issue where the app crashes with the following error: code: 1003, message: 'Message type is not valid.'

I’m looking for advice on how to gracefully handle or suppress this error on the Android client to prevent the application from crashing. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

TL;DR
Developers integrating QR code payment feature via Appwrite's Realtime API on Android face crashing issue with 'Message type is not valid' error. To handle this, catch the error with a try-catch block or implement error handling mechanism within your code. Ensure that the data being received or sent is in the correct message type format as required by the Realtime API to avoid the error.
