I have already passed the security review process and packaged new version of my app,but i couldn't find my new version in the appexchange publisher console .Does it take anytime to get up added in the appexchange publisher console .

Posting this in order to help others who, months from now, might Google "OP_WITH_INVALID_USER_TYPE_EXCEPTION" and find this explanation.

 

We wrote an Apex trigger on the User object, to insert a custom object record anytime a user updates their Chatter status.  This was done to fulfill a client's requirement to audit all Chatter activity.

 

The trigger worked fine, until one day the client signed up some Chatter Free users.  When such a user tried to update their status, they got a pop-up with an OP_WITH_INVALID_USER_TYPE_EXCEPTION error.

 

We scratched our collective heads for awhile.  After all, Apex triggers run in "system mode," right?  That is supposed to mean that "object and field-level permissions of the current user are ignored."  And yet this trigger seemed like it was running in "user mode," enforcing restrictions based on who the current user was.

 

The root cause turned out to be that a Chatter Free user cannot be the owner of a custom object record, and SFDC by default sets the current user as a new record's first owner.  We discovered this when we realized, via experiment, that Apex triggers fired as the result of actions by Chatter Free users could definitely update an existing record, but were having problems creating records.

 

So the simple solution was to explicitly set the owner of the new record to some fully-licensed user prior to inserting it.

I have been executing the following query with success for a while now (over a year):

 

find {01234567890} in phone fields returning

contact(id, phone, firstname, lastname),

lead(id, phone, firstname, lastname),

account(id, phone, name)

 

But this has suddenly stopped working with the error

 

INVALID_TYPE: sObject type 'lead' is not supported.

 

I have tested using System Log and the following query:

 

List<List<SObject>> searchList = [find '01234567890' in phone fields returning contact(id, phone, firstname, lastname), lead(id, phone, firstname, lastname), account(id, phone, name)];

 

And the query works with no errors about the lead type.

 

This works on an org with the jumping dog logo, but doesn't work on an org with the sun logo. (Both are '11).

 

Any help would be appreciated.
