Server 4.0.2 possibly incompatible with client 4.12.1? #23585

Open mirabilos opened 2 years ago

mirabilos commented 2 years ago

Description:

The latest available Open Source client, which is version 4.12.1 due to https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.ReactNative/issues/3462, shows the error message “Oops! This is not a Rocket.Chat server. Contact your server admin.” after having logged me out automatically last weekend.

Network or something does not seem to be an issue, as an HTTPS request from the same Android device to the same server indicates a working connection.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Rocket.Chat äpp
  2. Enter https://chat.tarent.de
  3. Tap “Connect”

Expected behavior:

Connection (given a valid login).

Actual behavior:

The error message shown above. Ah, you want a screenshot… sure:

Additional context

Relevant logs:

See above, @tarentadmin might help if needed. But you ought to be able to reproduce this problem locally?

Hi

Please update your client first. The latest RN client version is 4.21. The fdroid version is not maintained at the moment. If you don't want to use google play you can download the .apk directly from our repository's releases page - https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.ReactNative/releases

Thanks.

This is not possible because that version does not exist in a Free Software version.

The fdroid version is not maintained at the moment.

That’s the only FOSS version of that client so please do ensure compatibility with F-Droid clients, server-side. It can’t be that hard.

If you don't want to use google play you can download the .apk directly from our repository's releases page - https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.ReactNative/releases

That’s also nōn-free, containing proprietary components and possibly spyware. This will be hard to make compliant with IT security policies.

Same problem from our side. Is there any intention to support the FOSS version? As @mirabilos described, there are security concerns when closedsource libraries are in use.

Best regards.
