Description

I'm experiencing this issue on Mac OS X 10.14 with client version 4.3.2, and iOS 12.4 with app version 4.3.0.

I had to reset my account because my old phone is no longer around to verify with.

Now I cannot chat directly with a friend of mine: ERROR CODE 218 - newly created conversation fetch error: found 0 conversations in method chat.1.local.newConversationLocal (on Mac...and same code on iOS)

Log ID is: 1d7e70e16e7ec414aff8b51c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reset-account flow on the reported macOS and iOS versions, focusing on ERROR CODE 218 from chat.1.local.newConversationLocal and the provided Log ID. Done means determining why the new conversation fetch returns zero conversations and confirming that direct chat with the friend works after the fix.
