Updating a couchbaselite design document does not alter my view result - couchbase-lite

Question

I am developing a react-native application and I am using Couchbase lite as a database locally. The way this works is that you spawn a local REST server when the app starts and you use the REST API to communicate with the CouchbaseLite server.
I have created a few design documents, but when I try to update those I do not get the new results when I run my REST client (seperate app I use for debugging). When I GET the design document it has a new _rev after the update, the new map function is as I updated it, but whenever I do a get on the view the result is the same as the first version of the map function.
Apparently the updated docs are not used by get.
The design doc:
var designDoc = {
name: 'expenses',
language: 'javascript',
views: {
contact_parts_for_group: {
'map': function(doc){
if(doc.type == 'expense'){
emit('some things I emit', doc.amount)
}
}.toString()
}
}
};
I send this to the server along with the proper _rev as the json body: JSON.stringify(designDoc)
.1. I am updating my design document with a PUT call:
PUT /kittydb/_design/expenses?rev=4-6f89f1e13d1fbb89c712d6bab53ee7d4 HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:5800
Connection: close
User-Agent: Paw/2.2.2 (Macintosh; OS X/10.11.2) GCDHTTPRequest
Content-Length: 356
{"name":"expenses","language":"javascript","views":{"contact_parts_for_group":{"map":"function (doc){ if(doc.type=='expense'){ var i,len,part,ref; ref=doc.parts; for(i=0,len=ref.length;i<len;i++){ part=ref[i]; var amount=part.contact==doc.expense_by?-1*part.amount:part.amount; emit([doc.group_id,part.contact,part.contact==doc.expense_by],amount);}}}"}}}
.2. I populate the database using the interface of the app prototype I developed so far
.3. I am not sure what you mean by this.
.4. This is the get:
GET /kittydb/_design/expenses/_view/contact_parts_for_group HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:5800
Connection: close
User-Agent: Paw/2.2.2 (Macintosh; OS X/10.11.2) GCDHTTPRequest
More information in reaction to some comments:
I am using the CouchbaseLite Community Edition, version 1.1.1 for iOS. I am running the simulator as an iPhone 6 with iOS 9.2.
I made some screenshots to illustrate what is going on a bit more:
I don't know how to retrieve the map function that goes with this but what it seems to do is:
emit([doc.group_id,part.contact],amount)
I used the get as above.
Now my update:
PUT /kittydb/_design/expenses?rev=7-6f979706f38acce9c7db380fba8565e4 HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:5800
Connection: close
User-Agent: Paw/2.2.2 (Macintosh; OS X/10.11.2) GCDHTTPRequest
Content-Length: 350
{
"name": "expenses",
"language": "javascript",
"views": {
"contact_parts_for_group": {
"map": "function (doc){ if(doc.type=='expense'){ var i,len,part,ref; ref=doc.parts; for(i=0,len=ref.length;i<len;i++){ part=ref[i]; var amount=part.contact==doc.expense_by?-1*part.amount:part.amount; emit('Hello SO', 'Overflow');}}}"
}
}
}
What it should do now is: emit('Hello SO', 'Overflow');
I get this response when I run the above request:
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Location: http://127.0.0.1:5800/kittydb/_design/expenses
Content-Type: application/json
Server: CouchbaseLite 1.1 (unofficial)

Transfer-Encoding: chunked
{"id":"_design\/expenses","rev":"8-3ae4b6ff37b936657ca23acb8d836619","ok":true}
Now I run the get request again:
And nothing changed...
When I create a new document with 'type = expense' I get the same result, just more of them.

I don't know how to retrieve the map function that goes with this
Aha -- if you don't know where the original view definition is, and you can't get it from the design document, it's probably being defined in native code (at app launch time.) Such a definition will override one in a design document.
I don't know anything about React-Native. Is there (as the name implies) native code in the app? If so, look for a call to [CBLView setMapBlock: ...].
