Streamlit cloud issues

Yes, Streamlit does not support that gist, as it’s a workaround functionality as opposed to the official session state solution built into the Streamlit library.

The workaround worked perfectly fine with streamlit 1.3.1, I had some issues with the built-in session state that’s why I was switching to the workaround, see comment

But from a conceptual standpoint, we don’t have a separate version of the Streamlit python package running on Streamlit Cloud; we can’t, because users can specify their own version of Streamlit in their requirements.txt file and it will download from PyPI.

The approach you described sounds like the proper solution, but that still does not explain the strange behavior I observed in the last 1-2 weeks. Maybe a devops/backend engineer from your side could provide more insights or maybe you have to check with them what kind of changes were done recently. There were definitly some major changes that broke tons of applications hosted in streamlit cloud.
