Why do I get an “Unexpected signature” error?

A signature is a string generated using the HMAC-SHA cryptographic hashing algorithm. It contains different values depending on the session type such as application ID, auth key, timestamp, etc.
Please make sure that you generate a signature correctly according to our documentation:

https://docs.quickblox.com/reference/authentication#section-signature-generation

For example, you may use a third-party HMAC-SHA generator to generate a signature:

Additionally, please double-check our documentation related to session creation:

https://docs.quickblox.com/reference/authentication#create-session

Also, the error appears if a combination of login, email, and password is used during login via the SDKs. Please use the login and password or the email and password combination.
