How do I Enable devTokens on getstream.io?


on this page it says "To enable development tokens, you need to change your application configuration."

https://getstream.io/chat/docs/tokens_and_authentication/?language=js

to allow use of

await client.setUser(
    {
        id: 'john',
        name: 'John Doe',
        image: 'https://getstream.io/random_svg/?name=John',
    },
   client.devToken('john'),
);

I have changed the app type to 'development' in the getstream dashboard but I still get the following error:

Error: {"code":5,"StatusCode":401,"message":"WS failed with code 5 and reason - development tokens are not allowed for this application","isWSFailure":false}


Solution

  • You need to disable auth checks in the dashboard.
