Your use case
What would you like to do?
Remove the
Configure your app
(server configuration provisioning link) section on https://app.element.io/mobile_guide/. They are redundant onapp.element.io
becausematrix.org
andvector.im
are already the defaults in Android/iOS apps.Why would you like to do it?
They are unnecessary steps to worry about and are confusing when you're just trying to view a Matrix room on mobile coming from a
matrix.to
link.Does this feature even work anymore? Not on Android element-hq/element-android#5748
Configure does not work on Android ❌
With Element Android installed on the sign in screen.
mobile.element.io
and pressing "Try again" does nothingConfigure does work on iOS ✅
How would you like to achieve it?
Don't show the configure section
src/vector/mobile_guide/index.html#L322-L332
if it's using thematrix.org
vector.im
defaults.Relevant Android/iOS code (search for
mobile.element.io
):vector-im/element-ios
->Riot/Modules/Application/LegacyAppDelegate.m#L1841-L1845
vector-im/element-android
->vector/src/main/java/im/vector/app/features/login/LoginConfig.kt#L23-L46
Have you considered any alternatives?
Somehow a re-design to make this less confusing, less clutter, and actually correct for each platform:
Scanning a QR code sounds a lot better although tricky if you're working from the same device: element-hq/element-android#5097
Additional context
These configure instructions are probably more useful for external Element deployments where the homeserver and identity server URL's are set to something custom.
