App42 BaaS - Storage Service - numeric string converted to float problem

Question

I'm experiencing some weird behavior wherein I get record data using the storage service like the following:

 

{"uname":"xxx","tlogin":1414983399,"tlast":1414983404,"fbid":"12345678912345678","tsav":1414983286}

 

but when I get the data using the storage service, the fbid field comes out as a float instead of just a string (fbid is returned as "1.23456789123456E+16") this behavior where a numerical string is returned as a float happens when the string length is greater than 15 characters (for example, "123456789123456" (only 15 char length) is properly converted as-is to its string value). I use the following methods:

 

To get the data, I call:

storageService.FindDocumentByKeyValue("pInfo", "uname", "xxx", myCallback);

 

 

In myCallback(string result, object data), I call:

string jsonDoc = ((Storage)data).GetJsonDocList()[0].jsonDoc;

 

the 'data' variable has the complete string value of fbid, it's only after GetJsonDocList() that the fbid seems to be converted to a float and then to a string. I'm using the App42_Unity3D_SDK_3.0 and I'm using Unity v4.5.4f1 on the iPhone, iPod, iPad Platform.  Please help me on this problem, thank you.
