Question on replication

[Seung Chan Lim]

So I have a mobile app (phonegap) using couch base lite that replicates between it and a sync gateway.

I'm doing this:

1) authenticate through the sync gateway

2) register change notification on local couch base lite

3) call push & pull replicate between local couch base lite and sync gateway

What I've noticed is that the first time I do this, nothing replicates in, thus no change notification from the local couch base lite.

Then I _reinstall_ the app (not restart, reinstall) and all of a sudden I see replication happening, and thus change notification from the local couch base lite.

Can anyone help me understand this behavior?

thank you,

slim

I don’t know why this would be happening. (It’s especially weird that reinstalling the app would make a difference since that should reset all app state.) But this is about the third time I’ve heard this recently, each time from a developer using PhoneGap, so I’m wondering if there is a bug in our PhoneGap wrapper, or at least something unintuitive about the way it works.
