Lack of OTR keystore importing. #423

Open mspublic opened 8 years ago

As far as I can test there is no effective way to import a previously generated OTR keystore into ChatSecure-iOS. Many of us use keystores across devices to prevent fingerprint miss-matching. Is this a planned feature? Other iOS projects - such as OpenVPN allow you to drop your keystore/certs via iTunes. As soon as it sees the certificate - it prompts the user. If the user chooses to install it copies it/secures it then deletes it from the "sync" folder. One further way to protect the user from accidental or attacks would be to require a password protected keystore in order to import.

This is an essential feature for anyone who uses OTR heavily.
