5 years ago Definitely doesn’t seem optimal. I’ll have to do some testing adding/removing my endpoint. I thought I fetched endpoints on each logout/login. But must not be.
Thanks for noting this! 😁
I started logging into Indigenous before I had set up my microsub endpoint, so Indigenous loaded as a Micropub client and displayed the microsub info as per #198.
Once I had finished setting up my microsub endpoint, I did not see any way to make Indigenous find it and then ask for the read scope to function as a microsub client.
I tried logging out and logging back in, and Indigenous still only asked for the create scope.
I then uninstalled and reinstalled Indigenous, and it then recognized my microsub endpoint requested both scopes.
If I understand correctly, https://github.com/EdwardHinkle/indigenous-ios/commit/06d87a5d435882a4a9c11d5651bba97603e85645 indicates that Indigenous should just work once the new endpoints are added, but this wasn't the case for me.
It would be nice if Indigenous had been able to automatically load my channel list once my endpoint was set up. I think this would require Indigenous to either (a) Ask for both read and create permissions from the start, or (b) request new permissions when a new endpoint is added.
The fact that I had to uninstall suggests there may be some caching (or similar behaviour) of endpoint lists that persists when the user logs out.
Not a critical issue, but might be a barrier for some users.
