Answer 1

Whenever you save your ParseObject using saveInBackground() method, you need to do YourParseObject.setAcl(your_Acl_Object_here); You can find working code from below,

For public access you can write as,

ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
ParseACL acl = new ParseACL(currentUser);
acl.setPublicReadAccess(true);
YourParseObject.setACL(acl);

If you want to use only for CurrentUser access you can write as,

ParseUser currentUser = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
ParseACL acl = new ParseACL();
acl.setReadAccess(currentUser,true);
acl.setWriteAccess(currentUser,true);
YourParseObject.setACL(acl);

Answer 2

To avoid this error, I set ACLs for currentUser after its login. Surprisingly, it does help and I don't see any errors on that session when saving objects.

// default ACLs for User object
ParseACL parseACL = new ParseACL(ParseUser.getCurrentUser());
parseACL.setPublicReadAccess(true);

ParseUser.getCurrentUser().setACL(parseACL);
