FATAL EXCEPTION NullPointerException: null cannot be cast to non-null type kotlin
Hi
I'm using your SDK in my Android app... i upgraded to io.appwrite:sdk-for-android:8.1.0 and now i'm getting the following errors on Appwrite servers with older versions like 1.4.3:
TypeScript
Process: com.xxx.xxx, PID: 17591
java.lang.NullPointerException: null cannot be cast to non-null type kotlin.Boolean
at io.appwrite.models.User$Companion.from(User.kt:210)
..```
```09:40:20.275 18366-18455 AndroidRuntime com.xxx.xxx E FATAL EXCEPTION: OkHttp Dispatcher (Ask Gemini)
Process: com.xxx.xxx, PID: 18366
java.lang.NullPointerException: null cannot be cast to non-null type kotlin.String
at io.appwrite.models.Session$Companion.from(Session.kt:225)
..```
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.TypeScript

8.x is compatible with Appwrite 1.7.x.
7.x with 1.6.x and so on.
