Your use case

What would you like to do?

I would like to speed up the setup for custom server configuration, especially when using Oauth.

Currently setting up a custom server requires to enter its url manually:
IMG_1572

This process could be automated

Why would you like to do it?

Entering manually

How would you like to achieve it?

Using custom url scheme (element://use_custom_server?url=xxxxx&autosign=true) the application could be started on this screen with the custom server url prefilled.

Eventually the autosign parameter could avoid clicking the Sign In with xxxx button.

Have you considered any alternatives?

No there is only one path: mine!!! (just kidding 😉 )

The cool thing is that it would be possible to configure very quickly its phone with a simple QR code! 😍

@MartinDelille There are a couple of universal links that Element iOS parses, which potentially might help here (although from my limited testing, they require tapping on the banner at the top of the page):

https://mobile.element.io/?hs_url=matrix.example.com&is_url=identity.example.com
https://app.element.io/#/register/?hs_url=matrix.example.com&is_url=identity.example.com

This link works! Unfortunately, if the user is already connected, he has the following error message:

IMG_2072

This should not appear because the server didn't change.

@MartinDelille I'm going to close this issue as I believe you have everything you need to scan a QR code to log in to a specific server? Please feel free to re-open if this isn't the case.

Note that this should continue to work with the new flow that has just been merged in #6469.
