Overview

Element iOS

Element iOS is an iOS Matrix client provided by Element. It is based on MatrixKit and MatrixSDK.

Beta testing

You can try last beta build by accessing our TestFlight Public Link. For questions and feedback about latest TestFlight build, please access the Element iOS Matrix room: #element-ios:matrix.org.

Build instructions

If you have already everything installed, opening the project workspace in Xcode should be as easy as:

$ xcodegen                  # Create the xcodeproj with all project source files
$ pod install               # Create the xcworkspace with all project dependencies
$ open Riot.xcworkspace     # Open Xcode

Else, you can visit our installation guide. This guide also offers more details and advanced usage like using MatrixSDK and MatrixKit in their development versions.

Contributing

If you want to contribute to Element iOS code or translations, go to the contribution guide.

Support

When you are experiencing an issue on Element iOS, please first search in GitHub issues and then in #element-ios:matrix.org. If after your research you still have a question, ask at #element-ios:matrix.org. Otherwise feel free to create a GitHub issue if you encounter a bug or a crash, by explaining clearly in detail what happened. You can also perform bug reporting (Rageshake) from the Element application by shaking your phone or going to the application settings. This is especially recommended when you encounter a crash.

Call alerts not working with custom Sygnal server setup
Hi, I'm working on a project based on Element App. I was able to get the push notifications working properly. But, the call alerts are not working when the app is in the background, it only shows a notification with the text "Call from username" without any alert or the call screen. I'm using custom Home server, and the Element version I'm working on is 1.0.12. However, I tested the latest versions of Element with my custom setup, and the results were same. Here's what I did so far:

Created the APNs certificate (sandbox & production) for my app

Generated the PEM file, and uploaded to my Sygnal server

Setup the Sygnal server with the App ID, and 'production' platform configuration

Updated the Sygnal url in the source code

I followed the steps from this article: https://www.keyvanfatehi.com/2017/03/27/how-to-configure-matrix-sygnal-push-gateway-server-with-apple/

Does anyone know how to get the call notifications working?

Login goes nowhere after successful SSO auth
Describe the bug Unable to login with SSO on iOS. The login process hangs after clicking “I trust ..”

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open the app

Change homeserver to https://chat.mozilla.org

Use GitHub SSO

Click “I trust element://connect”

You are brought back to the sign in button and nothing else happens, you are not logged in. You are able to repeat this process over and over and over again and will never be brought to your chats/rooms.

Expected behavior Login, after successful SSO auth.

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Device: iPhone 11 Pro

OS: iOS 14.5 beta 4

Version: I tried all of the versions in TestFlight back to the first release, and 1.2.6 currently in App Store.

Additional context I’m guessing this is an API change or something, because my go-to work around was to use an older version, when a recent version caused the app to crash upon SSO. That no longer works.

Do a .well-known lookup on explicitly entered homeserver URL.

Now that both Element Web and Android allow you to enter a server name into the homeserver URL field and have the client to a .well-known lookup, iOS should do the same thing otherwise it is very confusing.

Replace camera implementation with something more standard and less limited.

Doesn't handle rotation metadata, doesn't let me zoom or focus etc, doesn't let me take photos by pressing volume buttons. We need to ditch it in favour of the native controls or use a camera library of some kind

Dedicated call screen for inbound voice & video calls

This is the design half of #613.

We need a full-screen view to alert users of inbound calls, usable both within the app and when the phone is locked (using the new iOS10 support for this).

Cosmetically it should follow the familiar idiom of the native iOS dialler - i.e. variations of the same screen is used when both placing calls and receiving them. As such, this can be considered an extension of the existing outbound call screen - or the in-call screen.

Inbound calls need the option of rejecting or answering call. Once in a call (or placing one), you have only the option of hanging it up.

Relatedly: Inbound and outbound video call screens should give the user a way to preview their video to check their makeup etc whilst the call is ringing.

Build failed with Xcode 11.2.1

Hello, I've downloaded the code from develop branch and thoroughly read the ReadMe and follow the instructions. But still I got below error

Module compiled with Swift 5.0.1 cannot be imported by the Swift 5.1.2 compiler: /Users/raju/Documents/riot-ios-develop/Pods/JitsiMeetSDK/Frameworks/JitsiMeet.framework/Modules/JitsiMeet.swiftmodule/arm64.swiftmodule

I found a workaround which is update the pod version to 'JitsiMeetSDK', '~> 2.5.1' . But I never find the JitsiMeetSDK in podfile.

Communicate to users that default switches cause 'Sort by Activity for "All"' to seemingly not work correctly.
Action needed

[x] Update the App Layout release notes on the App Store to include the info that these default settings may negatively impact experience

[x] Include that same notice in the App Layout blog post

Steps to reproduce

Where are you starting? What can you see?

I am starting in the 1.8.25 (20220729132199) build at the main screen with all chats selected.

The sorting order is set to by activity, but the order in this part of the app is wrong.

Outcome

What did you expect?

I expect all of my rooms and DMs to be listed in reverse chronological order.

What happened instead?

The first 9 entries (going from top to bottom) are rooms that have had updates this morning (Monday). The next 2 were last updated on Saturday. The next 5 are last Friday. The next 2 read last Thursday. Then there is a room from July 21, then one that was last updated on July 7, then 5 rooms that were updated yesterday, 2 rooms that were updated Saturday and so forth....

Spontaneous logouts

Since 0.5.6 i (and Amandine) have had intermittent spontaneous logouts - typically once every few weeks; sometimes more often. The pattern is hard to spot.

https://github.com/matrix-org/riot-ios-rageshakes/issues/417 is the rageshake; cross-posting here for a public tracker for it & to prioritise it.

Given 0.5.6 is an appstore release this isn't necessarily a regression, but it's very very annoying when it happens (especially wrt E2E keys). I don't think this should block the upcoming build in the end.

EiOS can sometimes send unencrypted messages in encrypted rooms
Steps to reproduce

I don't know how to trigger this in the first place. But when it happens, just go to the affected room and send a message

Outcome

What did you expect?

The message to be encrypted

The room name/icon to show

What happened instead?

The room appear to be missing some state resulting in:

The iOS app thinks the room is not encrypted and sends unencrypted events

The room icon is not displaying

The iOS app shows the canonical alias as the room name instead of the actual name

I did a rageshake, then cleared cache. The room is now behaving.

As this is an internal room, the linked rageshake has a screenshot and the room ID

Submitting text leaves chat content blank (iPad only)
Steps to reproduce

Where are you starting? What can you see?

What do you click?

More steps…

I have the app installed on iPad. IPadOS 16.2. Element v 1.9.14

I have a chat open with a friend.

If I enter text and hit submit, the contents of the chat disappear, as if I had no chat selected. In order to re-display the content, I can select a different chat, then return to this chat.

This bug does not occur on iPhone nor on MacOS app.

Outcome

What did you expect?

After I submit some text to a chat, the chat should remain visible, with my text at the bottom, so that I can see my correspondent’s reply (which they will type next).

What happened instead?

The chat is blank. It can be rendered correctly if I select a different chat, then re-select this chat.

Rooms not showing up in the quick share section of the IOS share menu.

When I try to share something, I always get suggestions from other apps of my most recent contacts/ groups, and it's a one click share.

When using element , I always have to click on the element icon, and then choose a room.

It would be nice for the most recent rooms to show up in the quick share (The top area of the screenshot below)

Initiating a call in a 1:1 room without speaking permission will cause an infinite loop.
Steps to reproduce

Enter a 1:1 room that does not have permission to speak;

Tap the voice call or video call button in the upper right corner of the screen.

Outcome

What did you expect?

The logic is the same as the Android version, the voice call or video call button on the top right corner of the screen is not available in the 1:1 room without speaking permission.

What happened instead?

The voice call or video call button in the upper right corner of the screen is available at this time, but then it prompts You don't have permission to post that to the room. user_level (0) < send_level (100). This warning will appear in an endless loop, Unless you restart the app after killing it. Also the proximity sensor will be activated until the app is restarted.

HTML link text in formatted_body is rendered as black text
Steps to reproduce

Send a message containing an URL, from a Matrix client that wraps the URL in an <a> tag within the formatted_body message JSON field. In other words, a client that sends true HTML links, like this: "formatted_body": "<p>Link:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://example.com\">http://example.com</a></p>"

View the message in the Element iOS client, in dark mode.

If you don't want to hand-craft message JSON for step 1, Nheko is an easy way to generate true HTML links in formatted_body, as it does this by default as of version 0.10.2.

When viewing the message in Element iOS, notice that the link is rendered as black text. This is incorrect, because:

It doesn't match the greenish color used for the untagged URLs that come from other clients, like Element.

It imposes an inappropriate color upon a message that contains no color information.

It is hard to read black text on a dark grey background, as is the case when the client is in dark mode.

Outcome

What did you expect?

The URL should have been displayed in the same color as those sent by other clients.

What happened instead?

The URL was displayed in black, which is both incongruous and hard to read.

I don't have the phone model/OS/app versions, since I am reporting this on behalf of someone else who witnessed it on their phone. However, I suspect it will be reproducible on any recent version of Element iOS, as it seems like a simple bug caused by a hard-coded color value.

Loudspeaker not automatically activated when giving a video call - Loudspeaker's icon not explicit
Steps to reproduce

Where are you starting? What can you see?

One of my relative uses an iphone 8 with Element 1.9.14

Problem 1. When she calls me by video, the loudspeaker is not automatically activated. Also the loudspeaker's icon is greyed (see screenshot), so the loudspeaker's status is not very clear as it could be, for example the icon could be striked through when deactivated.

Problem 2. When she taps on the loudspeaker's icon, the sound comes from the loudspeaker as attended but the icon don't change (it stays greyed).

Outcome

What did you expect?

When the iphone of my relative calls me by video, the loudspeaker should be activated on her iphone.

Also the loudspeaker's icon should:

change when loudspeaker is activated/deactivated

be more explicit (striked through = deactivated, not striked through = activated).

What happened instead?

The loudspeaker is not activated when my relative calls me by video. The meaning of the loudspeaker's icon is not explicit enough. The icon does not change when toggled.
