Error: JWT has expired

Was part of a hackathon a few months ago and we used the uport box to bootstrap the project. It was working then but not now. Trying to get this to work but continue receiving this error: Error: JWT has expired.

Code we had working 2 months ago was: export let uport = new Connect('TruffleBox');.

Project is at - https://github.com/micksabox/ethwaterloo2017

Any idea why this may be happening and how I can fix?

I solved this by creating an app in uPort

1. create an app in uport
2. copy the code at the bottom under ‘Click Here for your App Code’
3. Change

import { Connect } from 'uport-connect
export let uport = new Connect('TruffleBox')
export const web3 = uport.getWeb3()

to

import { Connect, SimpleSigner } from 'uport-connect'

export const uport = new Connect('Test Ap 1', {
  clientId: 'xxx',
  network: 'rinkeby',
  signer: SimpleSigner('xxx')
})
export const web3 = uport.getWeb3()

I just updated the uport-connect package to current version 0.7.1 and it worked.
