Can you share with me the code you are calling authentication with and the connection type, please don't paste any credentials.

hey thanks for reply @cocojoe
sorry for late reply.

here is my code...

`@IBAction func didPressLogin(_ sender: UIButton) {

    print("Login button pressed")

    Lock
        .classic()
        
        .withOptions {
            $0.logLevel = .all
            $0.logHttpRequest = true
            $0.closable = true
            $0.allow = [.Login]
            $0.usernameStyle = [.Email]
        }

        .withConnections({ (connections) in
            connections.database(name: "Username-Password-Authentication", requiresUsername: true)
        })
        
        .withStyle {
            $0.title = "XYZ Ltd"
            $0.titleColor = UIColor.black
            $0.logo = LazyImage(name: "company_logo")
            $0.headerColor = UIColor.white
            $0.primaryColor = UIColor(red: 0.5, green: 0.5, blue: 0.5, alpha: 1.0)
        }
        
        .onAuth {
            
            Auth0
                
                .authentication()
                
                .userInfo(token: $0.accessToken!)
                .start({ (result) in
                    switch (result)
                    {
                        case .success(let profile):
                            
                            print(profile)
                        
                        case .failure(let ignore):
                            print(ignore)
                    }
                })
        }
        .onError {
            
            print("Failed with \($0)")
        }
        
        .onCancel {
            
            print("User cancelled")
        }
        
        .present(from: self)
}`

Is this during the Authentication or during userInfo call? You can add logging to the authentication instance with

        var auth = Auth0.authentication()
        _ = auth.logging(enabled: true)
        auth.userInfo...

Can you provide the logging out please from console, redact your actual username/pass though :)

[HuppDevelopers]

I thing this is during Authentication but not sure...

this is my logged output...

Thanks, also what version of Lock are you using and is there any more information given in the Auth0 dashboard if you click on Logs?

[HuppDevelopers]

I am using 'Lock', '~> 2.0'

Thanks I've looked into this, it appears the error is to do with one of the rules you have setup. Perhaps something was modified in your rules 3 days ago... I suggest you review your rule code and find the breaking point.

[HuppDevelopers]

okay...

let me check, I will revert here if I could not accomplish it...

Thanks for your efforts and great help... :)
