[Bug]: Receiving inapps after logout

[Andrew0000]

What happened?

I keep receiving inapps 1) after OneSignal.logout() 2) after login with another id (another user)

Steps to reproduce?

- OneSignal 5.4.2
- Do login:
OneSignal.User.addEmail(profile.email)
OneSignal.login(profile.id)
- Send an inapp via test subscriptions - it's shown - ok
- Do logout:
OneSignal.User.removeEmail(previousEmail)
OneSignal.logout()
- Send an inapp via test subscriptions - it's shown - bug
- Do login with another user (email and id)
- Send an inapp via test subscriptions for the previous user - it's shown - bug

What did you expect to happen?

Device should not receive inapps 1) after logout 2) after login with another user

Thanks for the detailed steps and version info!

After OneSignal.logout() is called, the device becomes an anonymous user again (i.e., not associated with the previous external ID). In that state, the SDK will still receive any in-app messages that target anonymous users or broad audiences that include them.

To help narrow this down, could you share:

1. What audience / filter segment is configured for these in-app messages?
2. Are they targeting “All Users”, a general segment, or something that doesn’t explicitly require an external ID or email?
3. For the in-app you send “via test subscriptions”, is it targeting the previous external ID/email only, or also eligible for anonymous users / the device in general?

If the IAM’s audience includes anonymous users (or doesn’t strictly require the previous user identity), then seeing it after logout() and after logging in as a different user would be expected behavior. Once we know exactly how the in-app audience is configured, we can confirm whether this is a bug or just a targeting adjustment that’s needed.

It's not audience, I'm targeting a specific user (email).

I'm adding a user to test subscriptions here (it was "Add as Test Subscription"):

Send via that button:

Then I select the test subscription and send via "Send Test Push":

And I keep receiving InApps after 1) logout 2) login with another user/email
