Failed to restore session

Restarted app, got "The previous conversation could not be loaded. You can retry or start a new session." for a specific session. Other sessions still work

👋 @dapirian would it be possible to have logs or log excerpts around this issue? You'll find logs (and the log file location) in Health Check, which is found when clicking on your username. That would be most helpful 🙌

Same here after updating the app to v1.1.0, today.
I cannot share any logs publicly, as they contain confidential information.

Found the issue. The session was marked as "allow all" which has been disabled by policy between last using the app and today. This caused all existing sessions to fail on start. Changing the this setting on the app had no effect, as for every session, this is independently set for each session, as well. I had to fix the value in the database and then the session could be used again.

Massive oversight on your end, please fix immediately. The user needs to be asked how to proceed in such cases.

@danielniccoli thanks for the investigation, this makes it much clearer. This was fixed in version 1.1.3, so this shouldn't happen any more.
