Issue migrating an Objective-C iOS app to a self-hosted Parse-Server

Question

On my way moving an Objective-C iOS app from Parse.com to a self-hosted Parse-Server.

I am reading this document .

    [Parse initializeWithConfiguration:[ParseClientConfiguration
                                        configurationWithBlock:^(id<ParseMutableClientConfiguration> configuration) {
        configuration.applicationId = @"MY_APP_ID";
        configuration.clientKey = @"";
        configuration.server = @"https://my_app.herokuapp.com/parse";
    }]];

But the problem is that when I use this code, I get this error message:

.....] Reachability Flag Status: WR t------ networkStatusForFlags
.....] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: ''clientKey' should not be nil.'

Does anyone know what to do here?

You only need to include the server and applicationID once you are on parse-server. The clientkey is no longer needed, simply do not included it at all.

[Parse initializeWithConfiguration:[ParseClientConfiguration
                                    configurationWithBlock:^(id<ParseMutableClientConfiguration> configuration) {
    configuration.applicationId = @"MY_APP_ID";
//        configuration.clientKey = @""; 
    configuration.server = @"https://my_app.herokuapp.com/parse";
}]];
