In B4A 12.20 (64-bit version), I'm having trouble converting a string to a long:
The string is a UUID (e.g. "997203633536585465") which I generate by multiplying 2 random Ints. But assigning it to a Long variable yields the slightly different value of "997203633536585472", which feels like a casting error.
Indeed, I found this 2021 thread about the string-to-long bug, with a workaround of casting to an intermediate Object. As long as I clean my project before compiling in debug mode, it works.
Does this mean that the original string-to-long bug is still in B4A?
