I think it has to do with new fields that are actually null in 1.4.3 right?

Thanks

TL;DR

Developers encountered NullPointerException issues after upgrading to io.appwrite:sdk-for-android:8.1.0 when using Appwrite servers with older versions like 1.4.3, with errors indicating casting issues with null fields. The solution is to ensure compatibility by matching Appwrite versions: `8.x` with Appwrite `1.7.x`, `7.x` with `1.6.x`, etc. This mismatch causes the NullPointerException errors.

8.x is compatible with Appwrite 1.7.x. 7.x with 1.6.x and so on. https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-for-android/releases
