Hi all,
We are facing this issue; likewise, it’s random and usually happens from 8-10pm SGT. I suspect it’s due to most bubble users being in America and that timing is the morning peak hours. We will be trying @mghatiya method!
@aj11 who had suggested that method originally has suggested a tweak of that method here as the old method is not working: RGs & "Do a Search for" not updating without refresh today 3 - #14 by aj11
Although I tried both of the methods and are not working for me, I suppose it may work for some.
Has anyone solved this yet? Facing this issue with my native app on iOS (BDK wrapped). I dont’ believe it’s a BDK issue since it was working fine on BDK preview app, and even on TestFlight app, but not on the live app.
I have an idea that I haven’t tested yet:
- Count all items in the list in database
- compare with the number of items in the repeating group.
- every time the database has more items than the repeating group, refresh the repeating group (not the page)
gonna try and let you know if it works.
in the meantime, if anyone else managed to solve this please do share
how do you plan to do this? There is no action in workflows for that, right?
thinking of calling “Display data in repeating group” again, gonna try tonight
From what I’ve read so far at various places display data doesn’t force refresh the repeating group. But probably if you are going to change the source from x to y and then back to x, it might work.
Do keep us posted on how it goes.
tried re-displaying data and as you mentioned it didn’t work. Might try changing source but I’m guessing it’ll cause a split second glitch that’ll make a bad experience. wondering if using Firebase will solve this issue.
One of my technical friends had told me that this is happening because Bubble’s websocket connection gets broken sometimes. So they need to introduce a workflow action which does “websocket repair”. Right now only action that does is page refresh.
You could move to Firebase, but then you would also need to take care of that websocket business I think. But I am not technically sound enough to know that.
I looked into the firebase setup and concluded life is too short to take that route.
Just managed to solve the problem in a super hacky way tho 
inspired by what you mentioned (changing source), i used clear + display workflow, except using clear RG workflow + display data in RG doesn’t do the job, so i added a few steps in between to make it less weird from user’s pov. that Html element that i’m showing is a loading animation gif, and the pause action runs for 200ms
tried this on my native app on 2 iPhones and it works!!
Interesting. Glad that you got it worked. Will try it out sometime.
