Should the app handle this or should I just throw my arms in the air and not commit the whole transaction?

If you API gives you a list of invalid items it's up to your business rules to decide whether or not these items are important for the app to remain consistent.

[ghedeon]

one thing you can do is to filter them out but log the error in your crashlytics and report it to the backend.

Sounds reasonable,
its users -> messages, if message references [e-mail] user, thats a fk violation,
would you rather see something as [Invalid user] at the message or not see the message at all?

[ghedeon]

I guess, as a user I'd rather prefer to see all my messages. Even if the sender wasn't identified.

yea, thanks
