iOS Question File.Exists errors out with "The file "false" couldn't be opened".

[Yuri Cinesi]

I'm experiencing a very strange bug with File.Exists.
This section of code

If File.Exists(InternalsDirectory,"AccountType") = False Then
    If auth.CurrentUser.IsInitialized Then
        If File.Exists(InternalsDirectory,"appleUID") Then
            File.WriteString(InternalsDirectory,"AccountType","apple")
        End If
    End If
End If

errors out with the message

Error occurred on line: 398 (Main)

I've tried removing the = False from the first line, and it seems like it simply crashes on the first line containing a File.Exists that returns false. I've had it crash on line 400 for example, instead of 398 (the "appleUID" one).

Absolutely clueless as to what's happening - I've tried cleaning the project to no avail, as well as deleting the app and reinstalling it.
I'm using a hosted builder, and the app is running on a real iPhone 6S.

I've been unable to reproduce the issue in a smaller project. I'm on b4i version 7.50.

For reference, the InternalsDirectory variable is a global variable defined as File.DirLibrary.

The error happens in code that calls File.ReadString.

So the error is simply pointing to the incorrect line then? I'll try to find the offending line manually.

Yep, the error was somewhere else. Not sure why the crash pointed to the wrong line, but it's fixed either way.
