Summary of the issue you are facing:

TemplateResponse don’t accept integer key after upgrade to nc 32.

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

write a app with an array have interger keys. i. e.
$alle = $this->service->efindall() ;
$myarray = json_decode(json_encode($alle), true);
array_multisort($edate, SORT_DESC, $myarray);
return new TemplateResponse(‘myapp1’, ‘rufmich’, $myarray );
fill a mysql-source to efindall() with multiple rows and columns (once with ‘edate’)
test the app in nc 31.0.9 - all will work fine
test the same app with nc 32.0.3 - internal server error “Argument #1 ($key) must be of type string, int given”

On nc 31.0.12 all works fine too. Only in 32 the error is seen.

I found a workarround. Two lines must comment out:

In
lib/public/AppFramework/Http/TemplateResponse.php
and
lib/private/Template/Template.php

/* declare(strict_types=1); */

I know, that is only a quick and dirty solution. Eventually is better in

lib/private/Template/Template.php line 119

$page → assign($key, $value); change to $page → assign(strval($key), $value);

and in lib/public/AppFramework/Http/TemplateResponse.php line 192

$template → assign($key, $value); change to $template → assign(strval($key), $value);

Then the strict_type-setting can stay in original way. After change this two lines all my apps works fine again.
