Anonymous User destroyed on Logout

Sounds unintuitive to me that an anonymous user is destroyed on logout. If that is really the case and not a bug, then I think this should at least be configurable and have a big warning in the docs.

I think so too, it being configurable would be a good way to go.

I also don’t see an anonymous user being destroyed in the iOS SDK / client side unless I missed something.

Interesting that the iOS SDK works differently. This was also not the case in previous versions of the Javascript SDK:

• SDK v1.11.0: in no scenario a user was deleted.
• SDK 2.19.0 and master branch: in 2 scenarios, on logout and setCurrentUser

async setCurrentUser(user) {
    const currentUser = await this.currentUserAsync();
    if (currentUser && !user.equals(currentUser) && AnonymousUtils.isLinked(currentUser)) {
      await currentUser.destroy({ sessionToken: currentUser.getSessionToken() })
    }
...
}
