Push support (XEP-0357)

The current implementation compiles and is tested in the iOS simulator, but I don't own a developer account or an iPhone so I could not test the actual push. Registering for push in the emulator works fine, though.

Currently the pushserver is hardcoded to https://push.eightysoft.de/v1/register (http api endpoint for registering the device) and push.eightysoft.de for xmpp pushes (IQ stanzas of type "set" as in XEP-0357).

The push server implementation running at push.eightysoft.de can be found here: https://github.com/tmolitor-stud-tu/mod_push_appserver

If you provide me with a test voip push certificate I can configure the appserver at push.eightysoft.de to correctly do pushes to your test device.

The app settings and push requrements needed to make VOIP push work are explained in detail in this good tutorial (see Prerequisite settings): http://www.nikola-breznjak.com/blog/ios/create-native-ios-app-can-receive-voip-push-notifications/

I think I configured the app to be compiled with the iOS 10.2 SDK, but you should compile it for iOS 9 to enable background voip mode together with voip push (to be on the safe side and deliver a better user experience).

Currently all important log output I added is prefixed with several asterisks to be easily spotted in log output, I'll clean up my code before the final merge as soon as you have tested it (and everything works as expected) :)

IOS APN (push notifications) not working with OpenFire

Is there any known issues with IOS APN when using Openfire 4.5.1? I loaded the latest plugin from the link you provided. But it seems it doesn't pickup the push notification when a message comes in. I see the push jar file loaded. I have tried with the latest version in testflight as well as a few earlier versions. So far no luck.

Thanks.

Monal loses connection while in background, slow message sync, no push notifications

Description of my issue or feature request:

Hello,

I had my setup running for the past months without any problem with Monal (iOS). My server configuration worked out very well.

Now, since the roll out of Monal version 5.0 I experienced that all contacts using Monal are not persistent online anymore. I didn't find any error in the server logs so far. Instead I've identified that Monal loses its connection when running in the background which it did not before version 5.0. Even more there are no push notifications anymore although Monal gets registered to the push server in a correct manner.

I tried to check if any changes in Monal 5.0 requires a reconfiguration of the server but I haven't found anything related. This thesis would also contradict to the situation that Gajim and Conversations are running flawlessly.

In conclusion something had gone wrong with the new version - does anyone have some advice? A lot of my contacts are now practically offline.

System information (if you can provide):

iOS version: 5.0 (750) macOS version: - Used XMPP server (domain): not public Used XMPP server software & version: prosody 0.11.9 How many accounts are registered in your Monal app: -

macOS app disconnects on idle

After a moment or so in the background, the desktop client stops pinging the server, and does not respond to ping requests from the server even if the screen is not locked and the user is actively working in other applications. No messages will be received until the user opens the Monal window, at which point a notification appears about connecting to the server.

I understand the advantages of push notifications on the mobile side, but on the desktop side, is there a setting or something I am missing to keep the user connected? Trillian and Converse (via HTTP) behave differently on the desktop and mobile (push on mobile, ping on the desktop), so I am wondering if I am missing a setting, if the connection is purposefully closed from the client (this is what is appears to be), or if this is a bug with the XEP-0199 handling?

Using 2.1.2 (85) on Mojave.

Message was not encrypted for this device

Current testing scenario: 2 users, each logged into ejabberd server from macos (monal) and android (conversations). OMEMO enabled on all devices.

Correctly working when sending messages from conversations on android. Encrypted messages are received and correctly decrypted on android and macos.

Incorrectly working when sending messages from monal on macos. Encrypted messages are received and decrypted only on android. The receiving macos client displays error "Message was not encrypted for this device".

It would seems that monal is not using all omemo keys when encrypting the messages. Hopefully this can be fixed?

What happened?

I can receive pictures and files. But anytime I try to send any file even a small image it fails to send. Stating: Could not upload file: Upload Error: not-acceptable ( File too large). I can send via other xmpp apps. This has been broken for a long time. I was going to roll back to 4.x version that was the last time I know it worked. I stopped using Monal because of the double text issues. I did test this with my own server openfire and had the same results.

How can we fix this so it can send files correctly? Also, I am not seeing the double text issues like I use to. So that issue seems to be resolved now.

Onboarding: User should be invited to register a new or existing account (Welcome screen)
Introduction

Today I tested the first time Monal on a friends device. My first impression wasn't that good. Two accounts couldn't really connect, so I only got an "offline" experience. Cannot tell what the problem was :/ However, I somehow used to managed to add a new account. And that's a problem. New users (and probably new users to XMPP) don't know anything about this network. They even don't know what a good server is or that they need an ID. So, I think it should be make much easier for them to get started. They are used to being guided and introduced to knew "fancy" apps. We should guide and introduce them to the "fancy" Jabber world - syrsly! :smiley:

The ideal setup would be, that I recommend Monal to a friend, and just tell them to send my ID or register mine. No extra help needed from my side.

Suggestions

Add a welcome screen: Maybe you can checkout clients like Conversations or it's Pix-art fork. Those have a welcome screen. You can add your existing account or register to a new server. If they create a new account, it should be all compliant. You can let them choose, but the default suggestion should be a good experience. Especially for iPhone users.

[Your ideas]

I additionally relate to this, which is more specific: #127 implement XEP-0379: Pre-Authenticated Roster Subscription

Cheers & thanks for the development

Reconnect issues

I don't know if this is the intended behavior but I can't get Monal to stay connected very long.

I have a iPhone for testing Monal at work (to see when it's good enough to suggest for the users at my company) and it's connected to wifi, laying still on my desk but every day or so when I check Monal has been disconnected (I check with Gajim to see which clients are logged in with my user account).

The Monal UI itself does not recognize that it's been disconnected and I must first click Log out All before clicking Reconnect All.

Could this be improved somehow or are there some restrictions in ios?

What happened?

Monal can't play successfully received mp3 audio attachments. I can see playback controls, but the play/pause button seems greyed out and it is not responding. It looks visually similar to screenshot from closed ticket #789. I tried other formats too with more (or less) success: wav works normally, flac works quite normally (the play/pause button seems confused sometimes, but no big deal) and ogg (oga) is not recognized as audio file at all...

Tested with same results on two devices (SE I. and 6) with Monal 5.3.3, both 1to1 (omemo) and MUC (no omemo) chats.

POSH (PKIX over Secure HTTP, RFC 7711) support

^{Originally posted by jeifour February 23, 2022} As the template for feature requests seems to be not in working order, I decided to open this discussion thread instead. Hope that's fine.

I know your stance regarding a user's ability to disable certificate verification. I've also seen that some people struggle with setting up valid certificates (#406 / #497) on their XMPP servers. Personally, I especially resonated with this comment:

Giving a chat server a certificate for the bare domain seems like it is exceeding the authority it should be given. A vulnerability here would be more significant.

Clients like Conversations/Gajim also implement RFC 7711 which would make it unnecessary for the XMPP server to hold the private keys to your trusted certificate. It seems like a convenient feature that could even make certain deployments more secure. Interested in any comments :)

Expected

There are various options to address this. I don't think that using a color to indicate pinned chats is a good solution as it will likely always look wrong. Would it be possible to just make the separation line between pinned and non-pinned chats a bit thicker as indicator? Whichever solution, this has to be seen in app to say what works.
