didChangeChannels on ListChange type .update (or backend?) marking all conversations with unread messages read

What did you do?
This is related to #3322 but we have more information now after further debugging. There appears to be an issue with didChangeChannels in the delegate where ListChange of type .update is somehow marking unread messages as read. It's unclear to me if this is a backend issue, a CoreData store/fetch issue or something else completely unrelated. Here's the log of what happens when our app loads (and loads StreamChat) with a user that has unread messages.
Initially, it loads in the unread count correctly (3), but when didChangeChannels with change type .update is rendered, the unread count is erroneously set to 0. Here's the log of print outs to console:

To get to this understanding, we added the following extension to the Swift SDK delegate:
extension StreamViewModel: ChatChannelListControllerDelegate {
func controller(_ controller: ChatChannelListController, didChangeChannels changes: [ListChange<ChatChannel>]) {
print("didChangeChannels / Channel list changed")
for change in changes {
switch change {
case .insert(let channel, index: let index):
print("didChangeChannels / Channel inserted: \(channel.cid) at index \(index)")
print("Unread count: \(channel.unreadCount.messages) messages, \(channel.unreadCount.mentionedMessages) mentions")
case .update(let channel, index: let index):
print("didChangeChannels / Channel updated: \(channel.cid) at index \(index)")
print("Unread count: \(channel.unreadCount.messages) messages, \(channel.unreadCount.mentionedMessages) mentions")
print("Last message at: \(channel.lastMessageAt?.description ?? "N/A")")
print("Created at: \(channel.createdAt)")
print("Updated at: \(channel.updatedAt)")
case .remove(let channel, index: let index):
print("didChangeChannels / Channel removed: \(channel.cid) at index \(index)")
case .move(let channel, fromIndex: let fromIndex, toIndex: let toIndex):
print("didChangeChannels / Channel moved: \(channel.cid) from index \(fromIndex) to \(toIndex)")
}
}
}
}
What did you expect to happen?
Unread counts should only change when the user accesses the channel. In this case, the user did not access the channel and the unread count is being reset to 0 for all channels.
What happened instead?

Additional context
Hi @jonahhugit,
We can't reproduce this in our Demo App. Aren't you calling markRead() accidently?
To properly debug this, I recommend you use a Proxy (ex, https://proxyman.io/) to analyse the HTTP traffic and see the responses and requests your application is making.
Best,
Nuno
Hi team - here are the results of testing in Proxyman.
We have this state before we reload the iOS simulator:
This is the native interface (from the Swift UI Tutorial) with only the header modified. The channel with the 6 unread messages is cid wTjPcfeby15F8k7KihkNiW5IdpDZYzkZy3zUZ5SvBr8
Upon reloading the iOS simulator, here are the HTTP calls to Stream, in sequence from Proxyman (nothing is missing - these are all the calls on set up). It would appear that the unread count is always 0 from the /channels/ endpoint.

Hi @jonahhugit,
I see, then this seems to be a backend issue related to your app and not an issue on the iOS SDK. So you will need to report this to customer support as well.
If you provide all this data, they should be able to check what the issue is.
Thank you for your patience!
Best,
Nuno
Thank you Nuno! New ticket submitted for the support team to route to your backend folks - under tix 53266
